1001 in 101 Update





Since going back and crossing so many things off this list I've realized how much I actually get done. Most of the time I feel unproductive and almost stuck. It's sort of inspiring to know that I've actually done stuff with my life. Honestly, this list has truly helped me to accomplish certain things that I wouldn't have done before. There is still a lot to get done in the upcoming months that I'm really excited for. There's still so much for me to improve upon and experience but I hope the year ahead will allow me to cross even more off this list and take part in more unplanned surprises!

  1. Great list! And congrats on the 4 on your AP World test - that is definitely not an easy feat! I remember taking that class my sophomore year and it was such a relief once I finished the AP test!

    1. Thanks! And as my first AP course it was a bit of a stretch but now that I've picked up a few more it's gotten a lot better. Although, all these snow days on the east coast aren't helping with the upcoming exam!

  2. I like how you made a list for a specific period of time like this. I totally have a bucket list with no specific time frame in mind except as soon as possible (gotta fit it all in before I kick the bucket). hehe Looks like you are doing a good job working through it!
