a journey (not the don't stop believin' kind)

Me, at 25

Hi, I'm Susan. I'm 29 years old. My birthday is Oct. 1.

I'm not exactly freaking out about about turning 30, but I am reflecting a lot on my 20s. About the irresponsibility, the rosiness of the future. The awesomely fun college days, the start of my career. Sunday dinners with friends when cooking was more of a novelty than a necessity. Devoting entire days to porch sitting and not much else.

Me (with friends), last weekend

I miss some things. Most things I don't. I've got an awesome house, an amazing husband, and a fulfilling career that allows me to afford brand-name cereal. I also do a lot of the same things I did in my 20s, like sing Journey at the top of my lungs, procrastinate cleaning my bathroom, and sometimes drink too much beer/wine/vodka.

So I'm going to wrap up my 20s with a little experiment. Every day during the 30 days leading up to my birthday, I'm going to do something that my 20s self would have done. I'm going to be irresponsible, spontaneous, crazy, and probably more than a little drunk. But I can't think of a better way to kick off my 30s.

I have a short list that may or may not include staying up all night, eating ramen noodles, and shopping for clothes exclusively at Wet Seal, but want your ideas. What 20s-inspired stunts do you suggest? Leave your suggestions in the comments. I'll get started on Sept. 1.

ps, dating-related challenges are off-limits (like I said, I'm happily married and want to stay that way). Also trying to avoid anything too illegal.
