{101 in 1001}

On my 25th birthday, I decided to embark on a journey to complete 101 tasks in 1001 days (roughly 2.75 years). I found the idea from several blogs I read, and was intrigued after reading more about the Day Zero Project. For me, it's a happy medium between a bucket list and a New Years' resolution!

Start date: July 10, 2013
End date: April 6, 2016
