Today is September 9, 2012 and it is the 1001st day until my 30th birthday.

OMG, scary right?! I’m definitely proud of how far I’ve come in my life, but I always want to be better and I don’t think there’s any shame in that. So, thanks to the motivation of some great blogger friends, DayZeroProject.com, and my fabulous YouTube community. I’ve decided to make my own young bucket list. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m proud to reveal to you my:

101 Things to Do in 1001 Days: Countdown to Age 30

I’m very excited about this and I really hope I can accomplish a lot of these things. You never know how much time you have and I know I need to take advantage of the best years I have available to me: the present. I hope you’ll be inspired to make your own list, and if you do definitely check out Day Zero Project for a ton of great ideas. This site has been instrumental in my inspiration and I will be sharing my progress with that community as well here.
