UPDATE: 20 Things To Do Before I Turn 20

Okay so now I've moved into my new flat at uni (I may post some photos when I finally get it to the way I want), and I thought it would be a good time to finally update my 20 Things To Do Before I turn 20 since it is now like 7 months away.

The first one I managed to complete was number 5 which was see 5 new things, I managed to tick this off by the 15th of July. I managed to do this in one week since I went to London and finally went sight seeing and avoided shopping for one day.

All of these sites are pretty amazing and there's still so much I want to see in London let alone the UK or the rest of the world, but its a start and I can tick it off my list which I am very happy about. I also really want to go at Christmas to see the lights and go to a market. 

Secondly I have ticked off number 12 and started tracing my family tree, I managed to find out some cool things about my dad's side from stories my mum could tell me, and found more of my mums side (some of which my nan didn't even know about). I learnt that my Nan's family didn't actually originate from our home town and one of my ancestors actually died in the Towers of London as well as however I've forgot when I started this.

The third thing I've done is stand up for what I believe in, whether that has been buying more ethical products such as the Lush products (it also helps that they make my baths pretty and smell really nice). I hate wasting packaging so if its like Lush where I can recycle the packaging or buying loose fruit and vegetables over pre-packaged then I'm more likely to go for that option. I've also voiced my opinion more, which makes me feel happier, I used to be so confident and opinionated and wasn't afraid to share those opinions and I miss that part of 12 year old me, so I'm glad I'm getting back to that even in a small dosage.

I have also been really nostalgic at the moment so I've been listening to music from my childhood, eating some of what used to be my favourite foods, right now I have a thing for grapes and have to have a packet in the fridge at all times. So I guess I've started number 13 Relive some of my childhood.

I will probably do another update around Christmas and will hopefully have ticked off a few more of my 20 Things.
