40 Before 20;
April 28, 2012
I've had this list in the works for quite some time. Believe it or not, it took me actually a little while to figure out forty goals that I actually wanted to accomplish before the time I'm 20. I didn't want them to be mindless or overly ambitious. Instead I wanted to mix goals that were fun and others that were practical while making each and every one possible to obtain. I'll be updating this list and documenting each goal as they happen. I hope you'll follow me along in this adventure.
