I'm doing 41 things
I gave up meat, except for fish for Lent, so 40 days of no meat. It was very challenging, especially in college finding well balanced meals. I know it was hard for friends and family to understand and I felt bad for them having accommodate me. I think there are many issues with meat, especially for the environment, but I think if I don’t eat too much meat, especially red meat, that’s okay. I’m also going to Europe in a few months and I want to experience the culture fully. But if you want to be a vegetarian, I think it’s an admirable goal and I’ll support you!

How I did it
It made me
Happy 
How I did it: I saw a groupon for a half off hot air balloon ride, so I quickly asked my boyfriend and he thought that sounded fun so we booked it for a few weeks later and today was the day! We did the sunrise flight (which is pretty early arriving at the launch site at 5:15 am when you live 45 minutes away) in a ten person hot air balloon. It was amazing to rise with the sun on a cool morning with bursts of hot flames to keep you warm. It was the mos… Read how I did it…

Exuberant
How I did it: I found a study abroad program through my college, chose Paris, got all my papers ready and hopped on a plane! It was scary getting off the plane and not knowing anyone, but I quickly made friends with people who were as eager as me to get through this new experience together. I would highly recommend CEA, they were there for our airport pickup, led us to our dorms and had a thorough orientation to help us find our way around the city. A … Read how I did it…

It was amazing and fun and he's a great performer. There were people there of all ages and he made it fun and interactive. I want to be friends with him! Read how I did it…

Well I just started college and with all this running around I haven’t been drinking enough water. I need to force myself in the habit of drinking more water so only drinking it for a month should be a good start. September 1st = day 1. Oh goodness..
find at least one thing each day that makes me happy and record it everyday for a year (read all 2 entries…)
Well it’s been almost 4 months of recording something that makes me happy and I’ve been really happy with this goal. It helps to find the positive in everyday and remember fun events. I also now can refer back to certain days and they don’t all mesh together. Yay 8 months left!
