In a random order, I have collected thirty things one should do before one clock thirty years of age. These activities are based on my personal recommendation. It all depends on the activities you feel comfortable with and you will like to try before you clock 30. Growing older is a blessing and a life lived fulfilled is the best feeling one could ever get. Life lived with so many adventures and positive challenges are all ingredients which allows us to appreciate our lives the more. Having a life whereby you have stories to tell, impact lives, have a legacy and a life whereby you treat yourself right.
1.Attend a Dance Class. To attend a dance class can be therapeutic and refreshing. As we grow older, we tend to realise that we have lots of responsibilities and sometimes dancing helps calm the tension in our minds. Dance enable the expression of emotions. If you do not know how to dance, go to a dance class that allows you make mistakes. It depends on the dance you like, whether it is ballet, contemporary, afro or Zumba. The energy you get from your fellow dancers in a dance class cheering you on can also help build your confidence level. It will assist in letting go and been attuned with your happiness.
2.Pursue a Passion. Before you clock 30, ensure you pursue that passion, as long as it is a positive one. If you wish to sing, take singing classes, improve on your singing skills and make an album. Even if you do not want to be a singer, make that album and put it on your phone. Waking up to your voice as an alarm will boost your confidence. You will wake up and be ready to conquer the world. That passion of yourself that you have always wanted to pursue as a child, revisit it and do it.
3.Go on a Solo Trip. You need to solo travel to your favourite destination in the world. If there is a place you had always wanted to visit, save up for that cause. Plan your trip well, so that you get the most out of your experience and take a camera along. If you prefer to take pictures with your camera, please do and you could document your experiences through a video. In such a way you are creating memories and keeping them as well. Check the embedded blog post from ‘World of Wanderlust’ for tips on how to solo-travel for the first time.
4.First Class. It all depends on your budget, if you want to cruise on the ship, go on a road trip or fly on the plane, do ensure to get First class. However, flying first class does not necessarily guarantee happiness, but nonetheless, do ensure that you make your trip as comfortable as possible. If you wish to go on a road trip, get the best bus transportation and pay for it. If it is train transportation you prefer, get the best one.
5.Have a glamorous Photoshoot. Have a photoshoot if you have not had one. Get yourself beautiful outfits and make an album of your own. Smile and strike a pose, you deserve it. You could turn the pictures from the photoshoot into frames or make a picture story out of them. Have one of the frames in your room or any place you wish to hang the frame. However, do ensure that you are the one who gives the photographer an idea of photoshoot that you want and not the other way round. An example is the video below by ‘ Pedro Sandrini’ from Pexels.
6. Volunteer your time. It will be good if you volunteer your time towards a good cause. This will help your mental state and appreciate your life the more. This will also help you in contributing to the society in your own little way, if it is to join a charity organisation or a non-profit organisation which helps the less privilege, kindly do it. Do what makes you happy by putting smiles on other people’s faces. Check out the podcast below by ‘Have fun Do Good: Volunteer, Social Impact Podcast’ to find out ways in which you can make volunteering fun.

18. Face your fears. If there is that thing that gets you scared, visit your therapist when you are ready to face that fear. When your therapist gives you the go ahead, please face that fear as long as it is a logical thing to do. You will be proud of yourself afterwards.
19. Relive your special childhood memories. If you have that childhood memory that you wish to have again. Relive it once again because life is too short to care about what people thinks. It doesn’t make you childish but instead makes you someone who is in control of his or her happiness.
20. Get a Pet. If you love pets, buy a pet and love it. It could be a dog, rabbit, cat or a bird, as long as the pet you wish to get is not dangerous and it is a friendly pet to your children, and that is if you have kids.
