I like to challenge myself, and while a list like this should never be set in stone, when I die I would have truly loved to have done all of those things. I like the stuff on your list, and congrats on getting most of 'em done, although I'd argue 'owning my own home' is something most Western people will do at one point in their lives, so it's not really worthy of 'The List'. I bought my first place when I was 21. I never thought of it as something even remotely significant, to be honest! Depends what’s important to you, I guess!

It included everything from getting married to learning to scuba dive (yes I've dived with sharks lol), hearing my own songs on the radio, owning my own home, hitch-hiking round NZ, etc. Unfortunately I've finished it bar one thing (write a novel) by the time I'm twenty five. So I think I need to come up with a harder list. And finish that damn novel lol. (I don't really see too many extreme sports as being something I have to do before I die for some reason.)
