This is my blog of 101 things I hope to do before graduating college, or maybe finishing up the school year. I'm playing that by ear. A little back ground for you, I'm a freshman at the U of R, majoring in biology with a minor in Creative Writing. This blog was started in response to gift I was given, 101 Things You Should Do Before You Graduate by David Bordon and Tom Winters. It was a 'Happy End of High School' and 'Our Son is too Old to be Baby Sat Now' gift. My list is not the book for word. The first thing I did was attack the book with a bunch of sticky notes.
I replaced things I had already done (Open a savings account), things that were too vague (Know Thyself) or were well,not things I can easily see myself doing (Read your Bible cover to cover).
I definitely can't say that blogging about it was my idea. If I did I would be a brat and a dirty liar.
Melissa Weidenborneris a friend of mine who's husband is currently deployed. She made a list of 100 things to do while he was away. I loved every video, blog and tweet she created and posted
So please check her out. Well, her blogs and stuff. She is a married lady after all.
