LEVEL UP!: Emerie's Project

Emerie's Project

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN.

So, all that big talk, time to put my money where my mouth is and show you my personal Level Up! Project!

Please, take this example with a grain of salt.  This was tailored for me, by me, based on my current abilities and challenges and goals.  Yours might be different.  Maybe you can already run a mile without stopping.  Maybe you're struggling with a quarter mile.  Maybe you don't give a rat's ass about maintaining a nice pedicure like I do.  Maybe your idea of relaxing is going out and being social (mine is holing up in my room with Netflix).  EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, AND THUS EVERYONE'S PROJECT WILL ALSO BE DIFFERENT.  That's the beauty of this project, it's about becoming the best YOU, not the best somebody else!

Note: The goals directly under the header of each category are my overall, big goals...they're long-term, and thus get more EXP.
