People like me...

According to my personality type, we tend to be, on the outside, a little...chaotically organized (how true). However, we are organized and focused in our minds. One way that we break that is with lists. Some people use lists to write down the things that need to be done, while my people tend to make lists that we just want to get done. No don't get me wrong - I list out my life. Seriously, I have like 7 going as we speak. But, it was my patest project that fits my category the best...a life list! This is a list of the things that need to happen in my life so I can know that I had a fulfilling life.

Now I now what some people are thinking..."Really, a life list? You are 18...is that necessary yet?"

Honestly, I am actually a bit bummed that I didn't start earlier! Seriously. There are things on this list that I had the opportunity to do in the past, but now that time has come and gone. If I had written it down then, I would have really known how important it was to me.

So...what exactly does my life list entail? Well, honestly, I think there is some privacy that should come along with a list of this important. However, then it hit me - if I actually need to hit all of these things, I'll need some help getting as many connections and opportunities as possible! So ladies and gentlemen, I give you my life list:
