I am so excited to share with you that today marks the very first day of my goal to achieve 101 things in 1001 days. I was inspired to do this challenge by Mackenzie Horan, the blogger in charge of Design Darling that I have followed and adored for quite some time. Check out her list here. This equals out to about 2.75 years if anyone was wondering so it kind of sets up my goals for the rest of my college career! Eeeep. It’s crazy that I will have accomplished all of these amazing things in that time! I know that if I stay determined and keep my eye on the prize I can do anything my heart sets out to do. I’ve dreamed up some incredible things that I may have never thought were possible before. Lately, I’ve realized that the world really is my oyster and I have to soak it up! So here’s my list of sassy goals. I’m ready to conquer.
