A little about yourself and your ambitions: I know it’s tough to keep motivated through all the tough times and those hard nights studying, so I have made a list of over 100 things I want to do before I die. I started it four years ago and have been progressively working my way through it. The activities range from graduating university, to sky diving, to learning how to juggle. Going through the mundane daily routines helps me remember that someday I’ll be stupid enough to jump off a plane with only plastic to save me from crashing into the ground
