It is time for a second update on my 101 in 1001 list! I love going through and seeing what little goals I have accomplished, and it motivates me to see what I have left. I am continually updating the list in the pages at the top of my blog, but I like to do a little recap every 6-9 months or so just to keep myself on track! Last time I checked in, it was July 2018.

I am so excited to make even more progress on this 101 in 1001 list this spring, and will probably start a list of ideas for my 3rd 101 in 1001 list since this one will be finished before I know it! If you missed it, you can see my first 101 in 1001 list here. It is crazy to me that I started that list in high school and I will finish this second list about the same time I finish grad school! Then don’t even get me start about how if I do a third 101 in 1001 list I will be 26 by the time it is finished…
If you are thinking about making your own list, I highly recommend it, and I also recommend checking out Mackenzie Horan’s post, which was where I originally got the idea over 4 years ago now!
