101 in 1001.

In starting this whole blog adventure, I came across Mackenzie's list (and amazing blog) of 101 things to do in 1001 days (2.75 years). As a list lover, I couldn't pass this up. I thought it might be best to keep all of these aspirations to myself (does anyone really care that I need to organize my iTunes library?) but this list has been incredible to make and I hope it'll inspire someone to make their own (let me know if you do!) 

Just think how satisfying it's going to be to cross each of these off!
