HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! WOOHOO!!! For years and years people would ask me my age and I would answer 27. Then think about it and remember that I was only 18, or 22 or even last year at 26. So bizzarre. But for some reason I always thought that that was my age. Has this ever happened to anyone else? lol. Well, being that I am now 27 I started to wonder if there was anything that I was missing out on. Someone recently told me to make the best out of every day, which yes, we all hear that all the time, but for some reason it finally struck a chord with me and I decided to make a list of everything I wanted to do. At first I really didn't think I had that much in mind, Until I started to write. It started with a few things like, see a live taping of SNL, and then I just kept writing and writing and the more I wrote, the more stuff that came to mind. I now have well over a 100 things on my list, but here are my top 27 things to do! :)

1.Go to Germany for Octoberfest
2.Become fluent in French/and German
3.Go on a Safari in Africa
4.Knit a full blanket
