So, I'm sure some of y'all have heard of the 101 in 1001 concept through other blogs or friends. Well, after much thought and consideration I decided that I wanted to jump on the bandwagon and make one!
The 101 in 1001 is sponsored by
The Day Zero Project. The idea is to create a list of 101 things you want to accomplish in the 1001 days. So, over the next 2.75 years of my life I will have this list of measurable/ achievable life goals to check off.
Personally, I love lists! For those of you who know me I'm usually the first person to make an outline or a list of things to get done, so I guess thats why this was right up my alley. The goal of the 101 in 1001 is to help me stay accountable on things I want to accomplish as I finish up my Bachelor's degree and figure out what my calling is. I'll be updating this list and writing posts when I complete things, so stay tuned ladies and gents.
