101 Goals in 1001 Days.

As of late i've become quite ambitious, maybe it is as a result of finishing four years of a degree in college, and realising I have been thrown out into the big bad world. I love making lists, I love achieving things, and I feel so accomplished when I achieve something I've set my mind to. So what better way to do that than on this blog, which over the past two years has been my personal space to vent, post and just babble about nonsensical sludge. And do my makeup and take pictures of it. :)

This post will be regularly updated once goals have been completed, and will hopefully be consistent and not just forgotten about. Some of these will probably appear to be quite unrealistic, but that is precisely why they are being entered. If anything, writing these out for the world to see will make me more motivated than if they weren't.
