100th Blog post. Goals that I had in high school.

It's amazing to me that I actually stopped blogging to figure out what to write for a 100th one. I almost decided against overthinking it and just doing a drunk blog one night.

And then I realized I needed to write all of my goals down anyway...

When I was a teenager, I remember coming up with a long list of stuff i wanted to accomplish. I never actually wrote them all down in one place, but I had a mental scroll of things that I wanted to do. I wish I had actually written them all down, because a decade later I've done a bunch of them.

Some goals are small, stuff like "Dye my hair", other goals are much more lofty.

I'd like to quickly point out that this is not to brag, but to make myself realize that I can do a lot of shit, because i already have done a lot. Had I had a working list like this when I was 16, who knows what else I could have done. In fact, I know there's a lot I left off. I have to remember it.

The following are actually things I decided I wanted to achieve during my lifetime (decided while I was in high school or earlier)
