My Impossible List

“the impossible list is a list that helps give narrative to your story. It gives purpose to your actions and it gives context to your journey.”
— Joel Runyon

I have never really had a bucket list or anything like it and to be honest I haven’t really had any goals that I have been actively working towards other than ‘Qualify as an Architect’ for years. Architects and architecture students tend to get sucked into all things Architecture and can sometimes forget that there is a life outside of this ‘World’ we get ourselves into.

This is where the Impossible List, comes in. To explain what an Impossible list is I thought I would extract text from the original creator see above, he also has a blog post that you can access here for more info. I actually found out about the Impossible List got this idea from College Info Geek and thought it would be a great way to show get a bit more personal and show that you can have other hobbies, interests and goals.

Have a scroll and enjoy :)
