21 Things to do before I'm 21

For the past few years i have never made much of an effort to go all out with my Birthdays, my 18th consisted of some friends and a night out in Brighton and the others are usually spent with my parents and nice meal out somewhere... oh and the various ex boyfriends that i felt would do for company. But this year i turn the big 21, (why is 21 such a 'big' birthday?!) so this year i've decided i'm going to make the most of it, as everyone tends to tell me they would love to forever be that age and it's when a lot of great things happened to people. Hell i deserve to go all out and have as much fun as possible and currently, i don't have anyone holding me back from doing what i want.

Therefore i have had the idea of doing 21 things before I am 21 (I was inspired by the blog 23b423). I always tell myself about the things i need to do with my life before i enter the real world, I'm always day dreaming of the different adventures i want to have, so now is the time to do so. My birthday is on July 10th and i graduate (hopefully) from university around the same time, so i feel these next six months are vital in me enjoying every moment left of my student life and before i start getting to those grown up ages, where presents are no longer sent and you start asking for 'useful' things as apposed to a new toy to play with.

So here it goes:

1. Meet at least 10 famous musicians
2. Skinny dip
3. Jump into the sea from different heights
4. Road trip through Wales
5. Watch all the series' of The OC
6. Watch the sunrise
7. Bake a giant rainbow cake
8. Learn to play the ukelele
9. Big Ernies challenge (this is a restaurant in portsmouth that challenge you to eat a gazillion calories, vertually impossible!)
10. Get a radio show
11. Convince at least one member of the public that my friend Jack is actually Ryan Gosling (he looks A LOT like him!) and get them an autograph etc - Basically see how far we can take it!
12. Get an article featured in a Magazine
13. Go to Alton Towers
14. Go Horse riding again (haven't been able to due to my operations over the years)
15. Build a giant den in the living room and have all my friends stay over, childish yes, but fun all the same!
16. Sleep in a car over night
17. Go to Splashdown & Quayside
18. Spend a day in Chelsea with the girls
19. Get a tattoo under/to the side of my breast
20. Be a part of the audience for Greg James' 'Feet Up Friday' on Radio 1
21. Purchase a record player and find at least 10 amazing records to play on it!

So thats it! The list is complete & i'm already underway with it, it's going to be an interesting 5 months if i manage to get all these ticked off! Wish me luck!

Birthday.

On Sunday it was my turn to leave the easy world of being a teenager and join the not so easy, important world of being an adult. I turned 20. Not really a big birthday, that will come next year for my 21st. But clearly as soon as you leave the teenage years behind, relatives stop sending birthday cards and presents are down to a minmum. So i wasn't particularly excited for this one, especially as i had already recieved my main birthday present from my parents, which was a weekend away in the New Forest in this....

.... Pretty awesome huh?
However i realise that has made me sound like i am not grateful for the presents i did receive, of course i am grateful for them, and i loved them all! My mum has ordered me some brilliant rollerskates, which should hopefully arrive soon, then i can start skating along Southsea seafront!
I also got some Toms, which are SUPER comfy! I had no idea how comfy they actually were!

Other than that, i got a pretty thermos for my tea, and this purse which you can wear on wrist ( an essential for festivals and nights out!) Two Spot Gobi's album, which is also a must have for the summer!  A £15 iTunes gift card, which i have already spent half of on the Twin Atlantic album! Plus a £20 Accessorize voucher and £30 cash. So i don't think i have done too badly if i say so myself :)

I'm planning to have a proper party for it in September when i'm back at uni with all my friends as that will be easier, plus it's an excuse to have a party!

Hope all is well with everyone else!
