→ 101 in 1001 ←

Hello, hello! Sorry it's been so quiet this week, I can honestly say that I've spent most of it working on this doozy of a post/project. I've been reading Becky's blog for a while now, but only just recently stumbled across her original '101 in 1001' post that made sense of all her updates. In a nutshell, the point of 101 in 1001 is creating a list 101 things you want to do in 1001 days (which is about 2.75 years) So that's what I've finally put together and I want to share it all with you. Coming up with 101 plausible ideas was a lot harder than it looks so I'm happy to have it done! It's a super strange combo of things to get done, to be quite honest, haha. I'll keep you guys updated once a month on my progress and hopefully by the time I'm 24 (eck, gross, oldness) I'll have completed everything. Heck, I can complete at least 3/4's of this list, I'll be ecstatic, but I'm aiming for all 101 ;)

  3. Very ambitious yet extremely doable… you've got this Jess!! So many of these sound like things I'd like to do but it's more like a "do in my lifetime" list rather than under 3 years haha. Oh well, dare to dream I suppose! :)
