20 Things I Did Before I Turned 20

Check out my earlier post, Twenty Things I Learned in Twenty Years! Because I turned 20 this year and I plan to milk it for all its got! Which means you can expect another one of these posts in a few months! ALSO: Be sure to check out Lia's posts!

1.     Wrote four complete novel drafts (In A Dream, Capes, Coffeeshops & Cake, Twelve Golden Windows, and The Hedgehog King.)

2.     Taught a horse to drink out of a (plastic) pop bottle

3.      Started a horse under saddle!

4.      Rode a BLM wild mustang

5.      Left the country and went overseas

6.      Put an entire cupcake in my mouth because someone didn't believe I could

7.      One time I put on a fabulous sharp winged liner. On one go. And the wings matched.

8.     Trash talked someone in ASL/PSE with one of my besties

9.      Graduated high school

10.   Went to college!

11.   Made instant mashed potatoes for last-minute dinner guests and was then complimented on the meal and the potatoes specifically

12.  Had a horse roll over on me at a competition when I was 13 (and I then rode the next two events despite my foot swelling so much that I had to ice it in order to put my boot back on...because I'm a drama queen apparently)

13. Started a blog (or two)
14. Had stitches a time or two
15.  possibly broke someone's heart? And then completely forgot his name. And his face. And then bumped into him and also asked him, thinking he was a complete stranger, what was wrong and how could he be sad on such a beautiful day. Oops.

16. Climbed onto the roof of a campus building
17. "Operation Noodle Cup" <<< Named for full dramatic effect. Basically, I went to the computer lab to work on a project all day and I left at 7 am. And I was there until about 3. So I had my roommate make ramen and send it to me in a to-go cup via someone else who was coming to study. And then I opened the lid to eat it and every other half-starved student turned to see where the food smell was coming from.
18. Tried to prank someone with a love letter and had it backfire HORRIBLY
19. But in other prank news: My family got a 15 lb box of dates so naturally, I used it to prank my friends (it worked) and I gave someone an envelope of glitter.
20. Went sailing on a great lake and swam in both the Pacific and the Atlantic.
