25 Things in My 25th Year
Posted in Once I Was a Kansas Girl and tagged with Birthday, Blogness, Family, Friends, Lists, Me, School, Travel on December 14, 2008Elizabeth did this for her birthday, and I thought it was a good idea. Since this is my last day of being 25, these are 25 things that have happened while I was 25. It was a momentous year for me!
1. I had my first overnight layover, in Atlanta.
2. I hung out in Norman with Dana and Mindy for what is probably the last time, as none of us live there anymore. Why does everyone graduate and move away?
3. I officially became a resident of North Carolina.
4. I spent a lot of time with a couple of boys that I love.
5. I spent another Valentine’s Day single.
6. I wrote a letter to a spider.
7. I was called “blonde” while in a ghetto movie theatre in Oklahoma.
8. I watched my team, the Kansas Jayhawks, win the NCAA tournament. I hope that next year I can say I watched my team, the Oklahoma Sooners, win the national championship!
9. I was quoted in the Washington Post.
10. I moved out of seminary housing and into a “real” apartment, paying bills and everything.
11. I got a reading chair in my bedroom. This might seem like a silly thing, but I have wanted this for a long time!
12. I vacationed with my family in San Francisco.
13. I tried to be more open, especially with available men.
14. I and my friends found $110. And gave it back.
15. I started my last semester at seminary.
16. I fell even more in love with my church, and with the bridegroom of the Church.
17. I went full-time at my job, thus officially entering the “real” world.
18. I was featured by SITS. You all know that’s a big deal.
19. I took a picture of a bathroom and used it to write not one, but two blog posts.
20. I voted for an almost exclusively losing ticket.
21. I wrote letters to my elected officials as well as the president. Took me long enough!
22. I was flirted with by a teenager.
23. I got trained as a housing counselor, and completed half of my training for being a credit counselor. A big part of #17.
24. I wrote my last paper EVER.
25. I graduated. Hmm, this seems like a big one, doesn’t it?

What a great idea! Will you do this every year? I wonder if I’ll be able to come up with 33 things that happened to me in a year? Hmmm

That is a great list! Sadly, my list is a bit longer but I might think about doing something like that for my own b-day.

You had an interesting year.
I remember the letter to the spider and the potty pics very well!

What a busy busy year. You accomplished much. Don’t feel bad, many of us voted the same ticket as you. The comfort, as I know you know is that God is in control.

I love that you love AWANA! I love it too!
Did you LOVE San Francisco? I do!
Did you really write your LAST paper? I am a few years older than you and experience tells me you probably have not ;)

I love this idea! I hope I remember it for my birthday. But you know, once you hit 30 all the brains start falling out and you just don’t remember as much…
