101 before 30

Yay! It’s almost the weekend!
Today I’m sharing a 101 in 1001 list. If you’re unfamiliar with these it’s when you write down 101 things you want to do and you have 1001 days to complete them.
Now that you know what it is, let me tell you a story about why I’m doing one and why this one is so special.
The other day I was driving to work and I’m usually pretty sleepy and very spacy so, I tend to have the most random thoughts when I’m driving. (Doesn’t sound like the safest thing but I promise it’s fine.) Anyway I was thinking about Europe, and how I really want to go. Then I was like hmmm, I should do a 101 in a 1001 list again because I NEVER stick to them. Then I was like wait 1001 days is just under 3 years and I will be the BIG 3-0 in just under 3 years! When I got to my desk I did the math and exactly 1001 days from last Saturday 10/14 is my 30th birthday. What better way to get me to that day than 101 things to complete by then? I think this will really help me stick to the list this time.

So here it is 101 things I want to do in the next 1001(ok a little less 996 to be exact) days before I turn 30! (Can we also talk about how every time I went to type 30 I typed 20?!)
