Goals for 2014 and Beyond



I don't know if any of you have ever seen Mackenzie's Blog, but she just completed a challenge she calls 101 in 1001. It's where you make a list 101 goals to be completed in 1001 days (roughly 2.75 years). A New Year's resolution list of sorts. I love making lists so i thought i'd try it. If i start today, this list will hopefully be completed in November of 2016, aka my senior year of high school (absolutely crazy for me to conceptualize). My goals will probably change a bit and will constantly be edited, but for now, these are 101 goals for a sophomore in high school

  2. I just started my list Saturday. I ended up using your and some other lists to come up with mine. I love your list, they are great goals to keep in mind when planning things and working towards stuff! When I finish my list I will be 21 which is hard for me to conceptualize, I think that is what great about the 1001. It really makes you consider what you want to accomplish in the next several years. It's not new year resolutions or monthly goals it's a long period of time. I would love to see all three of you guys do one of these!

    1. Thanks! I actually used a lot of Mackenzie's old and new goals as well as my own. It's been really fun to think about the future and generally improving my life and lifestyle with these goals. It's crazy that you'll be 21...you'll almost be through college! And actually, Marin has started her list a little bit, but not completed.
