Goals: 101 in 1001

Get good grades, make healthy choices, buy a car... ya-di ya-da. Since the time we enter school, we're taught about the importance of goals. Maybe you've even been to conferences or seminars to improve your goal setting.

Recently, I was scrolling through my friend, Lexi's blog and ran across her "101 in 1001" tab. I thought her list of goals was great and was inspired to make my own list of attainable goals and track my progress. Below is my personal list of goals. Some are in progress and some are pretty out there, but I'm excited to see where this 1001 day journey takes me.
