Achievement Unlocked: BEGINNER

     DANIEL CHISHOLM - LEVEL 1
POINT TOTAL: 5
LAST ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED:BEGINNER

     How many of you out there play games? Kongregate, Xbox360, Super Smash Bros Brawl, World of Warcraft; all of these things have one thing in common. Achievements. Everything from killing to surviving, being quick, thorough, or strong, even just beating the game or unlocking content gives you an award. We all like getting awards and achievements, feeling like we accomplished something. Something about fulfilling a goal can be so rewarding.  So I began thinking, why doesn't life has an achievement list? A list of goals and accomplishments I can show off and get rewarded for. A way to "level up" as you will. Then I thought, why don't I make a list. No, not just a list. Not a New Year's List. A Life List. So here it is, my ever changing, ever growing, ever accomplished Life Achievement List. 100 points to a level, how many levels can you gain?
