(Oh, one more thought. 24 also sounds cool because it has to do with Jack Bauer, who makes everything AWESOME.)
At any rate, in honor of being 24, I will now list 24 things that I learned in my 23rd year of life. Glean what wisdom you may.
- Go backpacking. In the woods.
- Always shop at Trader Joe's. Your tummy will thank you.
- Umbrellas are unneccessary. Enjoy the rain - we all know you're not made of sugar.
- A room of one's own really is important.
- In-N-Out after midnight is usually NOT a good idea.
- Hanging out with cool people after midnight, however, always is.
- Gmail chat is one of the greatest inventions ever.
- Speaking of Gmail, everything Google does is amazing.
- Write it down! You think you will never forget - but you do. Having those memories in black and white is so comforting.
- Worry less, live more. (No, I haven't figured this one out yet. I'm a work in progress.)
- To-Do Lists will keep you sane.
- When all else fails, when you're tired, or any other time of the day or night: go to the beach.
- Watch the sun set.
- No matter the span, time with your best friends is time well-spent.
- It snows in Texas.
- Guys get together primarily to eat beef and make wisecracks at Monday Night Football. Football is just part of the mix.
- Hip-hop concerts are a hard sell in Irvine. It's not quite the 'hood.
- Tyrone Wells. 'Nuff said.
- The Paint Mare remembers me. I love my horses.
- The Firecracker Roll at Mosun's is the best Sushi roll ever.
- Taking PCH from San Fransisco to So. Cal. takes forever. Pretty, though.
- Double-check your keys before you go into a very old, deserted warehouse - or at the very least, take a cell phone.
- Sing.
- Love people.

ALL SO TRUE!!! Except for #11, ToDo lists will keep YOU sane. They will make me insane.
Jeepers! You learned a lot... And I am totally with you! Sounds like a year well spent... I hope 24 is EVEN better!
you're so wise now that you're 24 :)
Happy belated 24th, Dani Lin! It does sound older, doesn't it? I hope you learn as much this year as you learned last year. :) I love you.
