Hello all! Welcome to 2015! I'm a little late but I'm still getting used to writing a 5 instead of a 4 when writing the date...Anyway, I've been thinking lately about life last year and how I could possibly change a few things to make this year that much better. So in a way I have a list of resolutions, but I prefer to call them goals. I just feel like people make resolutions and never keep them, goals sounds more doable. So here it is, 5 goals for 2015:
1. I want to write something at least once a week that isn't homework. I enjoy writing even if I don't think I'm all that good at it. Practice is the only way to improve and that's something I want more of. From that I want to end up putting something up here at least twice a month.
2. I also want to get around to reading all the books I've bought over the years and put on the shelf without reading. Reading used to be something I did every spare moment I had and lately its turned into something I do for assignments only.
3. I want to be better about budgeting my money. I'm a college student so money is tight from that, but with the way my job works I'm going to be making practically nothing for a few months. Last year I struggled through it and ended up with a fairly large credit card bill. This year I don't want to have to fall back on that. My list of things to stress about needs to shrink a little and that would be a wonderful one to at least move down the list of importance.
4. Procrastinate less, much less. I'm one of those really stupid people that puts things off until the very last minute and panics and ends up with a lackluster paper/project to hand in. Less procrastinating can only end in positive ways.
5. This is probably the weirdest thing I will ever but on something like this but, I want to sneak out of the house this year. Part of the sneaking thing is not being allowed to leave but I'm willing to ignore that. I was a boring teenager and preferred staying in on Friday nights. My parents however are full of stories of how they snuck out what they got up to. I just want to say I've done it once even if I just turn around and sneak back in. I'm weird, I know...
But here is five (fairly) simple ways I think I can make this year better than the last. Do you have any goals for this year?
