101 in 1001 Days

I started this list 2 weeks ago and I've yet to complete it. I wanted to wait until I filled out all 101 goals before I posted it to the blog, but the longer I wait, the longer I will put off completing my goals. It might be fun and more interesting for me to finish filling it out as I go along anyway, find out what other things I'd like to strive for in the future! I'm very much a goal oriented kinda girl - always writing down my plans - so I thought creating a 101 in 1001 list would be fun!

I think it will be fun to blog about each goal that I cross off the list. It'll help me to blog more as well and it'll be interesting to see the changes I go through over the years :)...Anyway, here is the list:
