101 in 1001

If I had a dollar for every time I said "I'm going to bucket list that!" but never do, I could do so, so many things (which would go on another never-going-to-happen list). 1001 days, 2.75 years, is a great compromise between keeping a running to do list with short term goals and making a bucket list. I'm so excited! 

With a little inspiration from Mackenzie Horan, I am starting my very own list of 101 things I plan to do in the next 1001 days. Some of these are big, like moving into a dorm or purchasing another car, and some of these are very small, like eat another lobster roll or buy flowers.

P.S.- Some goals will have links to blog posts, and others (like paying it forward, writing handwritten notes) will not!
