101 in 1001

My friend Dorsa made a 101 list and she had really awesome goals and things she wanted to complete in 1001 days. Basically, you make a list of 101 things that you want to do in 1001 days. So of course I wanted to make a list and see what I could come up with. It took me a few days to make it but here it is! I’m really excited to start my list!
