How I did it: Wrote some poems. Posted them online and got a notice that someone wanted to publish it in a book. I said sure. Then they sent me TONS of material trying to sell me the book and then inviting me to 'celebrate my achievement' in DC with the 500 other saps who had the $30 to buy the "commemorative book'. But whatever. At least I can say I've been published, right? Read how I did it…

How I did it: I signed up with Active Stations, a youth volunteer organization doing conservation work around the world. After two weeks of doing some very rewarding planting and conservation work for the local Maori tribes we got two weeks to travel the islands with a lot of extreme sport options pre-planned out for us! It took all my life savings up to that point to cover the costs... but it was COMPLETELY worth it! Read how I did it…

How I did it: It happened as I was walking home from voting.

I think I'll take this as the universe's happy compromise. Read how I did it…
