So, a little late, but I'm finally doing it. My yearly checklist of what I've done for the last year of my life. I can't find my 21st birthday (all about year 20) on here because I locked it up and can't remember my password, but it you want you can read all about my 21st year, my 22nd year, and my 23rd year.
