The 101 in 1001 is a fun type of bucket list for bloggers to complete, started by Mackenzie of Design Darling several years ago! You make a list of 101 goals in different categories, and then work to complete them in 1001 days, which is just shy of three years long. I've loved reading other bloggers' 101 in 1001 days lists for the last several years, but always hesitated to make one on my own. Things varied year to year so much when I was in college, so it was hard for me to think a few years into the future. That ended up being the same when I lived in Vermont! Anyways, now that I've been in Charlottesville for a year and a half and feel very settled, this birthday seemed like the perfect time to share my first list!
