Impossible List

I got this idea from seeing Thomas Frank’s Impossible List over at College Info Geek, who learned of this from Joel Runyon, who created the concept of an Impossible List.

In any case, the Impossible List is not a bucket list. Stefano Ganddini describes it perfectly:

While a bucket list is full of dreams and aspirations you hope to achieve someday, the impossible list is something you actively live out and work towards everyday.

The placement of my List on this website will help me cross off goals by keeping me accountable to all of you. As the list keeps changing, so too will I change.
