Birthday Challenge (Intro Post)

Inspired by the (partially abandoned) site http://www.birthdaychallenge.com/, and more specifically by this guy. I will do my own Birthday Challenge, following the same theme of using my age(that I will be) for the various things I'll try complete. I'll start the challenge on September 21st at 4pm, finishing on October 21st 4pm (this is 30 Days from my birth time). The challenges will be a mix of (hopefully) 30 things with 30 (or the numbers 3 and 0) in the activity. This challenges will be inspired by personal weakness that I need to improve, things I want to get better at, things I want to do or am good at, and potentially suggestions made by other people.
