I have wanted to do a list like this ever since I saw Isabella’s list on Yep It’s Prep. (TBH she’s like totally my blogging girlcrush and provided mad inspiration for me to make my own blog in the first place, so big shoutout to her). This post reminds me of when some friends and I used to make summer lists in high school of everything we wanted to accomplish before school started. It got a little aggressive and weird because we made it a contest, but none the less, it was still a solid memory. I’m glad to be doing something like that again.
These are the 101 things I want to accomplish in the next 1001 days. A lot of them have to do with travel. A lot of them have to do with trying new things. A lot of them have to do with bettering myself. All of them are about living life to the fullest (as cliche as that sounds) and seizing opportunities. By the time this list is finish, I will have graduated college. Will I be in grad school? Will I have a full-time job?Will I still be living in Maryland? There are so many unknowns about my future, but that honestly excites me.
1001 days. That is 2.75 years. A lot can happen and change in a person’s life during that time. I’m trying to remember where I was 1001 days ago today and wow that feels like a totally different world. I know a lot of really exciting things are going to happen within these 1001 days. I hope its a period of spectacular transformation for me. I hope the next 1001 days are full of adventure and excitement. I hope I can look back on this list and know I tried my hardest to accomplish as much as possible, and smile back on the memories made because of this list.
I want to encourage you to make your own list as well! It gives you things to look forward to, motivation to push yourself and also achieve some things you’ve always wanted to do. I’ve already forced some of my friends to make a list with me, so join the fun and comment below if you’re joining this journey with me.
