52 in 2012

So I got this wonderful idea from Ashley from After Nine To Five about her goals for 2012 and thought that it would be the absolute perfect way to get everything I want from 2012 and keep track of all the things I want to do in 2012.

This also coincides with my New Years resolution: to make the most of my life. Read about it here!

SO here are my 52 goals to be completed in 2012!!!!!
