Single Girl To Do List Part 1: To Build Your Confidence

36 Things Every Single Girl Must Do 
Before She Settles Down

I found this article on MSN last summer and recently ran across it again. I have surprisingly done a lot of the things on the list and my goal is to scratch a few more off the list this summer. Here is Part 1...Building Your Confidence! 

To Build Your Confidence

1. Go to a movie alone. 

    Done. I'm not a huge movie fan so I don't think this will become a regular thing for me.

2. Lift weights. When I bench-press 45 lbs., I feel like the bomb.

    Done this too and since I rejoined the gym yesterday, I will be doing this all summer long!

3. Try surfing, water-skiing, or some activity you don't already know how to do. 
    I'll have to think about this one. Ideas anyone?

4. Take out the trash, set a mousetrap, do your taxes, build a bookcase.
    Check to all of it except the bookcase...that's what my dad is for!                                

5. Live alone, or at least move apartments in NYC without the help of family.
    Lived alone for over 4 years. Just me, George, and Tucker...they don't count as roommates!

6. Train for (and finish) a huge physical test like a half-marathon.
    Woo-hoo! Checked this off on March 20...Publix Half-Marathon...and I've signed up for 2 more!

7. Go to a scary doctor's appointment by yourself. 
   Think this past year of wrist surgeries and appointments completes this one!  

8. Quit your job. It feels so good to take a job and shove it.
    Oh I don't think so on this one...at least not until I have another job in hand.

9. Fly to a foreign country by yourself.

    Haven't done this one technically..but I have flown to Alaska by myself.  

10. Learn to stand up for yourself. 

     Think this is something I have to learn to do more for myself more often.
