Millennial Woman Asks What To Do Before Turning 30—This Was the Response

Turning 30 is often seen as a significant milestone, and to make the most of her final year before reaching this landmark age, one woman has taken to TikTok to crowdsource a list of 30 things to do before her birthday.

Rachel Ward, from California, shared the short clip to her account @rachelwardxo on December 21, quickly garnering attention and a flood of suggestions from her digital audience that ranged from taking solo trips to going on 30 first dates.

Ward's heartfelt plea, "For the girlies in their late 20s, it's time for a press conference … I need to work on my 30 before 30s," resonated deeply with many viewers who shared their own milestone experiences and ideas in the comments.

Ward's call to action began with her addressing her digital audience in a tone both earnest and enthusiastic.

"I'm about to turn 29 in two weeks … I need to work on my 30 before 30s," she said. "I'm about to enter my last year of my 20s, and I need 30 things to do before I turn 30."

The tradition of creating a "bucket list" or a "30 before 30" list is a popular way for individuals to set meaningful goals and experiences before reaching the next decade of their lives.

For Ward, this exercise became an interactive project, engaging her TikTok followers in a collaborative experience. The video quickly attracted a myriad of comments and suggestions.

"I have a 30 before 30 list as well and my list is all about experiences and making new memories," one viewer commented. "Choose things that will have a positive impact on your life and help you define who you want to be."

Another added: "$30,000 in bank account before 30."

"Solo trip, 30 self help books read, 30 sunrise mornings, if single and hating it 30 first dates, (unless you find the right one before 30) a girls trip, 75 hard completely through," a third viewer said.

One comment read: "I wanted to do 30 countries before 30 but didn't think about it until now (I'm 28) and I'm only at 10 [right now] so it would be a challenge."

"Going to Australia is on my 30 before 30," another added.

One viewer posted: "I have cook every recipe from one cookbook on mine."

"Write a letter for you in the future, so are going to remember that you wrote it for you in your twenties," another said.
