I’m really excited to bring you guys my 101 in 1001 bucket list – I’m can’t wait to cross off 101 bucket list items in the next 1001 days! I haven’t compiled my whole list yet, but I’ll be sure to keep y’all updated about my new bucket list items as well as the ones I’ve completed! Some of these are specific to Notre Dame, while others are just random things I’ve always wanted to try (or want to try again!). Enjoy! 🙂
