How I did it
How to learn to swing dance
It took me
3 weeks
It made me
happy~

How I did it: I did it the roundabout way, by having someone in the swing dance club at our local community college work with me (but as a female, it wasn't the best way to learn), and then I just went out dancing (a usual first step).  Local swing dancing clubs have people more than willing to help you learn, and help teach you as you dance.

How to go a week without caffeine
It took me
7 days
It made me
meh

How I did it: Basically, I just didn't allow myself anything with caffeine or any soda.  You just gotta have the initiative to go through with it.  It didn't really help me sleep better or anything, so don't do the goal just to accomplish that.  Make sure you actually have a reason to go through with this, it'll make it easier.

Kind of have to... 1 day ago

Or else my parents may make me quit drumline. So, here’s to not sucking it up the second half of the quarter! Hopefully I can actually do this…

Number 28 - Write 4k words in a day 2 days ago

I know, compared to some people that’s like how much they write in an hour or two, but for me and my (probably) ADD self, it’s big. I don’t think I’ve ever written that much in like, a single WEEK before, even with NaNo last year (which died).

I feel like I can do anything… if I have a large network of people supporting me.
