100 Things, part one

Today marks 100 days before I leave on my mission!

What the what.

I've been thinking about my life.

It's been given to me, and what am I doing to make the most of it?

When my life is over, I want to say I LIVED.

In honor of this momentous occasion, I'm making a list of 

100 Things I WILL do with my Life:
(if you don't want to read it all, I understand)

{PART ONE}
