101 in 1001
I’ve decided to hop on the 101 in 1001 bandwagon, and I’m going to keep track of everything in a Tumblr blog. Anytime I complete a goal, I’ll make a post about it here.
101 in 1001 is a list of 101 personal goals that must be completed in 1001 days. The goals do not need to be done in any particular order, as long as they are completed before the deadline.
My deadline is April 21, 2012. This is two days before my 27th birthday. Woah. The thought of being 27 is insane. Hopefully this list prepares me for the insanity.
