I'm doing 29 things
I tried this goal before but lost interest after a while. I got to about 300 but I threw them all out when I moved 2 months ago. Now I’m going to restart but instead of blowing money on origami paper (which is what I did last time) I’m just gonna use whatever I can find: receipts, gum/candy wrappers, old quizzes that got bad grades on etc. Should be a more eclectic, more eco-friendly, not to mention a more wallet friendly way to go about it

How I did it
It made me
om nom nom 
How I did it: I put a donation box on my kitchen counter and my housemates and passersby contribute whenever they can. That way I can afford to bake more and don't have to pay out of my own pocket all the time. Now the only guilt I have from baking a lot is from all the chocolate I eat. Read how I did it…
It made me

How I did it: Going to university where I could spend my free time and money how I wanted, without parental supervision made it possible for me. I looooooove live music and I'm going to Coachella in 2 weeks!! Read how I did it…
