The Life List, Updated

I was doing some reflecting today on my personal goals, professional goals, and life goals and thought I'd update the life list. The bullets that are crossed off are things I've done. I have some work to do, but I'm incredibly fortunate to be at a point in my life where I can make them all happen.

Side note: I stopped and thought a lot about the falling in love bullet. You all know the story. I have decided to give that one a redo. Hopefully if it happens again it won't need another redo.

Original post:

I was going through some old boxes while attempting to clean, and came across a list I wrote when I started college, at 18, of things I wanted to do during my life.

I edited the list a little, as I have made some significant changes to my priorities since then, but here it is - my life list. I'm pretty jazzed to say I've actually accomplished quite a few of these ambitious dreams.
