101 in 1001

Hey y'all! I apologize for my absence, but of course finals require full attention.... but it's summer now which means lots of times with family, friends, and blogging!! I've been working on this list for about two months and I planned on posting it on my birthday (over a week ago)!! Well, no time like the present and a couple days doesn't break my heart! If you haven't seen lists like this, a lot of the blogs I read have them: this one and this one are my faves. I'm not really sure where it originally came from, but the list is simply 101 things you want to accomplish in 1001 days. Some of mine a small goals or wishes, and others are big undertakings that I know may or may not actually happen! I'm so excited to start working on my list because like I've said a million times before, I LOVE GOALS! Wish me luck! Maybe you should make a list too ;)
