Yes, I know, I’ve already turned 30. This project is now more like “30 Before 30 is Over,” and I will still consider it a success if I can finish off the list before I turn 31. This has been a tough one to accomplish because Coney Island is kinda far away. It’s the last…

New York has a class for absolutely everything, something I learned when I discovered Coursehorse, a class aggregator. They house over 40,000 classes on their website so you can enrich yourself in the matter of any topic under the sun. As you book, you earn points that turn into discounts on future classes. Just browsing…

I have tried many a time to keep a diary, or a journal as the more mature call it. But every time, I give up after a short while. This blog became my outlet, but it’s not a place for me to share deeply personal thoughts. The thing is, I even feel strange sharing the…

30 Before 30: 15 – Learn Sign Language

Learning a new language is a common bucket list item, but I feel people usually limit themselves to learning the romance languages like French, Italian, or Spanish, often based on places they’d like to visit. Few people realize sign lanugage is an ACTUAL language that must be learned just like any other. I have always…

The Museum of the Moving Image has been around since 1988, but people kind of forgot about it. I didn’t even know it existed until I read about it’s big renovation and re-opening a couple years ago. Since then, it’s been viewed in NYC as the museum to check out, but I had just never…

Some of my 30 Before 30 items have taken longer to cross off the list because I haven’t had the opportunity. But then there are items like this one, which haven’t happened simply because I’ve procrastinated. Organize my closets? Boringggggg. You may ask why I put something like this on the list in the first…

True, I’ve hosted theme parties in the past and have plans to throw one in the future for my birthday, but I wanted one that was classy and didn’t feel like a sorority social. From the invite to the food, everything needed to be on-theme. The chosen theme: Prohibition. Albert sent out an invite that…

When one of your 30 Before 30 items is exercise-related, there are few better times to cross it off the list than in the new year. New year, new you…amirite?

I don’t want to be too picky when it comes to charity. After all, the important thing is that people give to those in need when they can. There shouldn’t be any parameters on generosity. That said, as I enter a more mature decade, I wanted to approach charity in a mature manner. I don’t…
