My List

After reading a blog post by iNews 880‘s Britney LeBlanc, where she mentioned using the Day Zero website to make a bucket list. Well, I’m a little too young, in my opinion, to be making a bucket list, but the idea of challenging yourself to do 101 things in 1001 days intrigues me. I always make the token New Year’s resolutions, which I never keep (or even keep track of), so I figured that, instead of making a list of a few things to do in one year, maybe I’ll extend the time frame to 1001 days (roughly 2.74 years), and make a list of 101. Currently, I only have 25 items in my list, so if you can think of any good ones that I may have missed, leave them in the comments. I realize I may not make every item on my list (failure is always an option), but I would still appreciate it if suggestions are somewhat realistic. I will update my blog as I complete items on this list, and will have more information for the ones that require it. So, here is my list:

1. Try Geocaching
2. Attend a film festival
3. Go to Las Vegas
4. Go to New York City
