Task #5 - Find an awesome apartment
Days Remaining: 928
Back porch. Expansive granite countertops. New stainless steel appliances. Some comfy couches. A giant tv with N64. And most importantly, some amazing roommates. What more could you ask for?
Task #4 - Kiss someone on New Year’s Eve
Days Remaining: 931
This one was actually pretty easy. Having a girlfriend comes in handy sometimes.
Task #3 - Get my wisdom teeth pulled out
Days Remaining: 934
One week of sleep, meds, liquid foods, and skyrim. All together, not too bad for having four gaping holes in my head.
Do not try to “find yourself,” you must make yourself. Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it. Do not let your life and your values and you actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, “This is who I make myself.”
Do not give in to hope. Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which you imbue it. Whatever you do, do it for its own sake. When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, “Fuck You!” Remember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own. Live deliberately. You are free.

Task #2: Dress up for Halloween - Rafiki
Days Remaining: 989
$15 at Goodwill + $10 at Garment District + some stolen dining hall oranges and a stick from the woods = Dressing up as a favorite childhood character whose allowed to put red paint on peoples’ foreheads while proclaiming Simba! and sing Asante Sana, Squash Banana all night long.
I can now successfully check off my first completed goal from the list: buy a hedgehog. I started my adventure with a leisurely drive up to New Hampshire (being in the polite company of other drivers who let you go first even when they don’t have to sure was nice) and eventually made it to the little town of Pelham. I somehow found the place without getting lost even once (well, maybe once, but only briefly).
Although I was set on getting a boy, one of the female hedgehogs was just too curious, yet cuddly, to not take home. And that’s how I ended up with the particular spiky critter that is now sleeping in my sweatshirt pocket. Adorable, but pointy.
The only problem now is the name. I had only thought of male names and was rather fond of Mercutio, although that’s now out of the question along with the possibility of the middle name Wolfgang - which, for the record, was my Dad’s choice (He got middle name rights since he’s helping to bankroll this endeavor and has been trying to name a kid Wolfgang since I was born. Thankfully, he only got girls after me and my mom nixed the name for me - phew, dodged a bullet there.)
Anyway, one down and only one hundred more to go! As for the name, hmmm….maybe Pandora.
