Wow, it has been almost 2 years since I created my 101 in 1001 list, and it is crazy to look back and see how much has changed. When it began, I didn’t even know where I would be going to college, and now I am 1 1/2 years into it! I also had no idea how many things and places I would experience between then and now! Since I only have about 9 months left to finish my list, I wanted to update you guys and take a closer look at the things I have left. I am still hoping to finish everything, but honestly a few seem a little out of my reach at this point. Without further ado, let’s get into the list!
