Rachel | 10 comments Hey everyone! I'm not sure if this has been done for this year but I created a google doc with a table if you want a printable table version of the list. I know they had this in 2015, and I found it super useful. I did not participate in 2017, so I don't know if they had one. This way you can download the list/print it/edit it/etc. Here is the links to the two separate lists:
