Man, looking back on my 101 in 2021 list, I really lived my best life this year!! No surprise, really, I'm still a YOLO girl, but its crazy to look back on the year and think of everything that happened in just the last 365 days! So many new experiences this year, so many things I've been saying "someday" towards...space camp! Foot long taco! A(nother) Master's degree! UND game! Space craft launch! When you love life, it loves ya right back!!
1. Pay off my car loan
2. Listen to all the Harry Potter audiobooks
3. Take a craft class
4. Recycle anything that I can recycle (I did pretty good, but I can do better)
5. Only buy books from indie bookstores
7. No saying, " I will just get gas in the morning."
