4. Finish the first draft of one of my stories
5. Volunteer at a library
6. Get an internship
7. Visit more Indie bookstores
8. Go to grad school
9. Create a budget and stick to it
10. Greet people with a smile
11. Write my Honors thesis
12. Add more entries to my written journal
13. Get a picture of my family for my apartment
14. Own a tortoise complete with his own playpen outside
15. Learn how to make new recipes and then share them with others

    1. Budgets are like elusive animals. You can identity them once, but then they slip away from your grasps. Good luck, though! Hopefully, you'll do better than I am.

  3. A tortoise sounds like fun! We have 2 hermit crabs . . . not a lot of work, but fascinating to watch at night:-) The dog and the horse are quite a bit of work though! What would you like to go to grad school for? Thanks for playing~cheers!

    1. I think all animals are quite a bit of work, some more than others, but they're still fun to watch and play with. ^_^

      As of right now, I plan to go to grad school for information science with a concentration in digital information, but I'm also thinking about Journalism (since I didn't do an undergrad degree in journalism). I have a year to finalize my plans though.

  5. Recipes is a good one. I should have added that to my list; I want to learn to cook. Great list. :)

    1. Thank you ^_^. Sometimes I find a good recipe, but then never return to it because I forget about it, which is unfortunate. In my experience, stir-fries are a good place to start cooking because they're easy and follow the same directions. So maybe you should try those and work your way up. Breads are harder to make. I never fully understood had to make those ><.
