Though I’m pretty sure folks like Bruno have checked most of these things off, the Stockton Record suggests 30 things you should do by the time you turn 30:
Sadly, most people don’t fully realize the freedom their 20s hold. They don’t understand that these years might well be their last chance to experience all the world has to offer, unfettered by the obligations of full-fledged adult life.
As a public service, then, The Record presents (in no particular order) 30 suggestions of things to do before turning 30. These activities that will give you a richer, more-rounded perspective on the world and, in the process, bestow upon your 20s a golden glow you will certainly appreciate in later years.
That said, while jury duty (#26) is important and all (”When that notice comes, don’t immediately figure out ways to avoid jury duty”), I’m not sure reading Jeff Chang’s “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” needs to figure as high as #6.
So yeah, there’s that. But at least one of the commenters helpfully adds an important ommission:
THEY FORGOT TO ADD ‘MENAGE A TROIS’!
Hear, hear.
Point being, what are we as a society coming to when we have to remind the youth to become a regular at a brewpub (#20) or pierce parts of one’s own body before aging sets in (#9)? And I mean, I agree with the wisdom of paying off your credit card (#7), but do I really have to watch an outdoor production of Shakespeare (#16)? By the time you’re 30, you’re pretty much over it anyway.

I actually do pretty well on this list, C, you’re right. There was an ad (I think it was for AmEx) featuring Elvis Costello whoring himself out and it had another list that involved all sorts of d-bag rich guy adventures like parachuting into Victoria Falls and the like. I didn’t do so well on that one.
