Day Zero: 101 in 1001 Days Challenge

So I've had a few friends do this challenge. I've just never worked up the nerve to sit down and think of 101 things I plan to do. It seemed daunting. Well guess what happens when you're home sick? lol So here is my list of 101 in 1001 days:
The Challenge:
Complete 101 present tasks in a period of 1001 days
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie.no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part.)
Why 1001 days?
Many people have created lists in the past- frequently simple challenges such as New Year's resolutions or a "Bucket List." The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as trips, school semesters, or outdoor activities.

So here is my list in no specific order. Other people list them into subcategories but I'm a bit lazy today. Oh and if they are crossed out that means that I have completed them! :)
