101 goals in 1001 days. While making this list, I came up with things that I have always wanted to do, things that will inspire me, and things that I am scared to do (cough cough skydiving). I am hoping that this list will not only keep me accountable in achieving my goals, and the things I want to try, but also open my eyes and let me experience more life while having fun. I hope to be inspired by the things I do on this list, find new experiences that I love, and eventually start on a new 101 in 1001 days after I complete this one. I will update this page regularly and make new posts on some of the interesting things I am doing. Follow along with me!!
