By now I'm sure y'all know my addiction to Buzzfeed...I even have an app for it. I also love lists...and challenges. So while I couldn't sleep the other night I came across this gem & I'm going to give it a shot. Two weeks ago today I turned 25 so what better time to start this (well besides 2 weeks ago on my birthday but that is neither here nor there...I'm kind of OCD about these sort of things)...5 years from now I'll be 30...and 2 weeks. 5 years from now I'll be entering my next decade & I want to do so in the best way possible so why not give a few/all of these things a shot...
