My Rock 'Em Sock 'Em List of 2018 Goals That Will End Up Being 74% Completed

  I know that technically I should have done this at the true beginning of 2018, and I apologize for jumping on the bandwagon so late. I figure that it's still January, still the beginning of a new year, and I can post whatever I want whenever I want. So there. *pouty face*

  Also, as a disclaimer, lists are my jam and I have a LOTTTT of goals for this year, because I'm me and I want to accomplish things but I really also like writing about accomplishing things, so we'll see when I come back here next January how much of this I actually managed to drag my sorry bottom into doing.
