Year 23 - Score - 8.5/30

It just gets tougher and tougher from here.
I am knocking out all the easy ones :P
I just realized I am making growing old tougher with this list. Oh well.
I should've added easy stuff like 'Go to a strip club with a bunch of male friends' :P
Growing old was never glamorous. At least my list attempts to make it fun.
Here's to year 23! (and trying not to feel very old!)
