Recently I've been feeling a little down and out and unsure of things, and with one year since graduation approaching quickly, I realized I need to refocus and have things to get excited about. I was inspired to do this 101 things in 1001 days by Mackenzie over at Design Darling (she's done it twice! see her first list here, and her second list here!) because I think it will be a great way to make and track both, long and short term goals for each area of my life, as well as be a place to write down all the fun things around me to do!
