Prelude:前奏

Hi everyone, my name is Tian Tian and I'm an 18 year old who had just graduated from my Junior College. Please do allow me to share with you more about this blog titled '180 Things that I want to do at 18'.

There are a lot of reasons as to why I have decided to write this blog. Firstly, I was always mesmerized by the vast amounts of ideas, cultures, interesting activities, and events around the world. As 18 is a significant year when I have a whole 7-8 months holiday before the start of my university term, I felt that time should not be wasted nor taken for granted. Therefore, to make full use of the holidays, I have then decided to think about the different things that I really want to do at 18.

It was then that I realize that this to-do-list is never-ending. To add on, everything that I want to do ranges from one spectrum to another. Starting from being a food blogger, to being an astronaut, a pilot, a singer, a Chinese Idol drama screenwriter, a K-pop expert, an avid traveler and an English Sci-fi writer, it seems almost impossible to accomplish this heap of things within a short span of 7 months. As such, I started this project called '180 things I want to do at 18' which seeks to accomplish at least 180 things off my to-do-list within the coming 7 months (Dec'15-starting Aug'16). 

Writing this blog took much more courage than I thought. First of all, I have to open up that I am indeed a dreamer that dreams of completing every single thing I could possibly think of during my life. However, I have decided to face my dream head on to complete each and every task I thought of completing.

With that, I welcome you to my little project blog where I will be sharing my experiences as I complete every single task off my to-do-list.

Regards,

Tian Tian

Founder of '180'

你好，我叫恬恬，今年十八岁，是一名刚从初级学院毕业的新加坡学生。谢谢你们游览我题为《18岁时想要完成的180件事》的博客。首先，请容许我和大家分享开启这个部落格背后的一些原因。

18岁是一个非常具有代表性的年龄。18，代表着我们成为大人的转折点，代表着我们的青春，更代表着我们最后能够无忧无虑享受生活的年龄。而很幸运的是，我今年刚刚考完我的大学入学考。这就意味着，大考后有整整七八个月的假期。因此，我想不要浪费一点一滴的时间，想把握时间做自己最想要的事情。

去思考自己18岁时想做的事情、想追寻的梦，是非常辛苦的一件事。我发现，自己有上千个想要完成的事情，有无数个梦想。因此，我便开启了《18岁时想要完成的180件事情》这个计划，并开始写这个同名部落格，与大家分享自己完成这180件事情时的感想。

所谓：“人生有梦，筑梦踏实”，我希望能够一步一脚印地完成自己年轻时想要做的事情，以免让“以后的我穿越时空回来抱怨我”。

再次谢谢大家来到我的部落格，也欢迎大家分享自己18岁时的经历！:)

祝好

恬恬
