My 101 in 1001

I’m in love with lists. It could be a simple to do list or my never-ending bucket list. It doesn’t matter. So when I saw my friend Simply Kara post this bucket list challenge, I knew that I had to do one too. This was no easy list to accomplish though. It took me a good two days and some good internet searching to figure out all 101 things. So here’s my list of 101 things that I hope to accomplish in 1001 days.
