101 Things in 1001 Days

I love the idea of creating a bucket list, and I love the idea of finishing one even more. I found Mackenzie Horan's beautiful blog Design Darlings and found her 101 things in 1001 days page. The idea is to complete 101 things throughout 1001 days, or about 2.75 years. Mackenzie has since completed her first list, but she has started another list here. I was very inspired by her lists from the moment I read them, and I have decided that I would like to do the same. I have always said I'm going to do things - but having and sharing this list will really motivate me to complete not only fun objectives, but also personal goals that will bring improvement upon my life.  

1001 days seems so far away! But I'm really excited to start this journey, and I hope to learn more about myself as I go. I'm curious to see what I can complete and I hope to make progress on most, if not all of these things! So here goes nothing!
