I’m officially 25! And it feels….old.
Just kidding. Sort of.
Four years ago, I took a personal leadership class in college where we wrote what we wanted to be doing by the time 2014 rolled around. I still have that essay, and this year, I’m ready to follow through. One of my goals for this year was to stop making excuses, whether that in the career, dating, travel, or friend department, and now that I’m 25, I ain’t stopping now.
From selling desserts to traveling all over the country (hitting Chicago this weekend – suggestions are welcome!), to securing a seriously fantastic friend group, I have been extremely lucky this year, and I can’t wait to see what the next year brings. I already checked one more thing off the bucket list this weekend – biking across the Golden Gat Bridge!
25 sittin’ on 25 mil.

Shikha says
WHAT WAS THE PANCAKE PLACE?!?! I need to go back there JUST so I can try it. I did eat some mango-coconut pancakes that were woahhh and I’m sure you would have loved!
erika says
Okay just saw this and asked my friend. It’s called West Town Bakery! Where were the mango coconut pancakes?!?!?
Shikha says
Looks like I will have to go back to Chicago so I can eat those. The mango ones were from a place called Nookies!
erika says
Oh yum. I’ll def have to look that up when I go. Speaking of more reasons to Chicago…http://doritedonuts.com/ !!!!
