The WOJ said… - Wonderful list, Annie. I am rooting for you, girl. I just graduated from a women's college and it was truly a unique experience. Great idea about the road trip as well...let me know if you guys ever end up in Chicago! And hey, if you achieve the vegetarian goal, let me know! I'm going for one year! Also, I loved your one about owning an island. I actually grew up on one.

Kit said… - Hi! I just read through your list and self-summary and I realized that, like you, people on this site are going to change the world. Even if we never accomplish everything on our lists, just bringing awareness to these issues we're passionate about makes a difference. Thank you for inspiring me!!

April 2009-Another update
I have decided to take a gap year, and not return to the East Coast for college. There are two distinct cultures on the two coasts, and I tend to fit in better on the West Coast. Also, a women's college is a very stressful environment!

Anyway, I've finally uploaded my whole list! Whew.
Congrats to the boys on their new TV show! And their extremely inspiring accomplishments. Hopefully th… Continue

Well, it is now summer of 2008 and I graduated high school and have been enrolled in an all-women's college on the east coast. My grade point average was the highest it has ever been, and I got a beautiful laptop as a present. I left in good terms with every single one of my friends (I think!). I also moved out and am now working a summer job in a completely different state… Continue
