30 Things To Do Before We’re 30


Hey Brainiacs!

We’re sure you’re all aware of the fact that we graduated and if you don’t then you probably don’t follow us on Instagram. So, we’re just gonna insert this shameless plug here.

Anyways, we’ve been having some post-graduation feels and decided to continue looking into the future by creating some attainable goals for ourselves before we turn thirty. We realize that we are a little less than a decade away from our Dirty Thirty but before you know it, Akayla will be a mother of two and Reniece will be preoccupied with Rich Auntie Activities.

So, we’re taking this opportunity to jot down some bucket list items before we’re too busy to achieve them.

Without further ado, here is our list of 30 Things To Do Before We’re 30. (Don’t judge us!) Try to guess who’s goals are who’s! You have 50/50 of being correct, so go ahead and give it a try.

Be sure to comment and let us know what your goals are for the near future!
