101 in 1001

I'm sure you guys have already seen a couple bloggers do a 101 in 1001 post, but I wanted to do one myself. If you haven't seen one of these posts before, it's essentially a list of 101 goals that you want to accomplish in 1001 days (2.75 years). It seems like such a long time for a goals list, especially when I'm   definitely used to doing a daily or weekly to-do list. When I make my traditional to-do lists, I usually stick to mainly short term, school related/chore goals. 

Example:

Finish History Paper

Pick up prescription

Go Grocery shopping

Go to sorority meeting

etc. etc. etc.

I saw the 101 in 1001 posts, and realized that maybe I was focusing to much on the things that I needed to do, not necessarily what I wanted to do. Of course I'm still going to have to do papers and chores, but having a list of the things that excite me seemed like a good way to put my happiness as a priority in my life. 

I decided to share my list with you all, so maybe you'll be inspired like I was! As I complete each goal I'll cross it off, so be sure to check back and see what I've done!
