How I did it

It made me

feel accomplished.

How I did it: Looking back on it now, I wish I would've worked even harder and devoted more time to my courses. It took me 4.5 years because I had a dual major. Finance and Information Systems. Would like to go for my master's at some point, just gotta get those loans paid off. Read how I did it…

How to enjoy a tropical drink on the beach in Key West.

It took me

4 days

It made me

joyous

How I did it: In doing this I achieved other goals, that being to travel further south than Washington DC and to overcome my fear of flying. It was exhilarating! Read how I did it…

Well, I live in PA.... 14 months ago

But I’ve been to: Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Florida, and Georgia. I know it’s not many. But I just conquered my fear of flying which is how I ended up in Florida and Georgia and in March ‘09 I’ll be flying to Las Vegas, so I’ll be able to cross Nevada and hopefully California off my list!

Watch the top 100 films of all time as chosen by the American Film Institute.

So far so good. 14 months ago

Before even discovering the list I had seen 21 of the movies including Forrest Gump, Singing in the Rain, An American In Paris, Snow White, Silence of the Lambs, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler’s List, and #4 rated Gone With the Wind (so far my highest rated watch), amongst others. I’m a fifth of the way along!

Have my picture taken at the top of the Empire State Building.

I want to do it again. 14 months ago

I’ve done this already, quite a few times. But that was before the days of digital cameras. What inspired me this time was looking through my grandmother’s photo albums a couple months ago and seeing her honey moon pictures from, you guessed it: New York City. My grandfather took an amazing picture of her atop the building on the observation deck and I want to have a similar photo taken of myself in the same spot to give to her as a gift. So this upcoming Spring, I’m determined to get back there, in a similar outfit to hers and recreate history. I, however, will NOT be on my honeymoon! ;)
