101 in 1001

After seeing this challenge on a few of my favorite blogs like Wetherills Say I Do and Oh Simple Thoughts, I thought starting one off on my first day of college would be a fun idea! I love lists, and I have at least 5 going on any given day, but this one trumps them all. I figured this list would give me a boost of motivation to get these things done, and it’s an organized place to come back to and see what I’ve accomplished over the years. I’ll tell you one thing though, coming up with 101 things was so much harder than I thought! After about 40, I started struggling, so this was a week-long process.
