Sooooo way back when, I did a 24 before 24 post, completely forgot about it, randomly saw it again and here are my thoughts:
- I'm a lazy shit to not think 3 months was enough time to do a 23 before 23 post.
- I literally did a double take when I saw "24 before 24" posted in 2009...thinking that I was really turning 25 this year. GAH.
- I didn't do very well.
- Was I on crack when I wrote these?!
Here's my recap.
