report card of my 23rd year

Last year I made a list of 23 things I wanted to do before I turned 24.  My 24th birthday has already come and gone so here is my annual report card:
1. Scrapbook my London experience: F- This didn't happen.  I didn't even consider making this happen.
2. Graduate from BYU: A!!  So happy!  I even have my pocket sized diploma already!
3. Complete an internship: A Yep, this one was easy!
4. Get a full time job: C So this is sort of done... I have a full time job set up for the summer.
5. Go to Washington D.C.: A HOlla!!  So fun.  DC was simply wonderful and I cant wait to go back again someday!
6. Visit somewhere I've never been: A++ Maui, Hawaii, Washington DC, Charlottesville VA, Jacksonville FL, Houston TX, San Antonio TX... I kicked trash with travelling this year!
7. Get a credit card: F
8. Go to the temple at least once each month: A I totally killed this one.  I went more often than once a month and it was marvellous!  I have a stronger testimony of the temple
9. Do something that scares me:  B  I did some things that scare me, but I had to think of them.  There wasn't really one huge thing, so I gave myself a B.
10. Move out of my parent's house: Hahahahaha F
11. Finish my quilt (or at least start it): B- I worked on both of my quilts but neither is finished...
12. Work on Family History: F
13. Blog once a week: F. I need to aim a little lower this time around.
14. Visit Alyson and Kenny in Florida: A
15. Visit Nick and Amanda in Virginia: A
16. Visit a national park: A (I forgot until this morning that I accomplished this while I was in Hawaii!  I went to Haleakala National Park.)
17. Take the GRE: F (This may be on this year's list though...)
18. Fall in love with a person, place, or hobby: C+
19. Become a runner: B+.
20. Be better at staying in touch with friends: C
21. Accomplish all 12 of my new year's resolutions: (Since I didn't even make any after March...)
22. Forgive: A.  I definitely improved on this, but this will be a lifelong goal for sure!
23. Visit campus with my parents and have them tell me stories from when they were in college (this counts as family history, right?) F

22 things before I'm 23

My birthday is coming up at the end of the week, and I want to make a list of 22 things to do before I'm 23. I want all of my closest friends and family members input though, which means those people who read my blog, because, obviously, you are the ones who care about me the most.  Please, any suggestions would be welcome. A couple of things I have already thought of in the past three minutes since I decided I want to do this:
1. Blog more(once a week maybe?)
2. Read the entire Book of Mormon
3. Be able to a. swim a mile or b. run a 10k without stopping
4. No do any homework on Sundays
