4. memorize a poem
5. play organized/competitive volleyball regularly
6. read a complete fictional book series
7. go to seminary (i cheated on this one, but so did allison on her #2)
8. start learning a foreign language (sort of cheated here too b/c of #7, but why not!?)
9. learn my neighbors’ names
10. get a trendy moleskine notepad and fill it from cover to cover
