Hey everyone! So it's that time of year again - the end of the year, in fact. So I don't know about y'all, but I've never been one for making resolutions. I know that lots of people make them, and never keep them, but I'm don't even make the resolutions. I guess that way I don't neglect any?
I think that this year I'm going to make a blanket resolution, though. It's pretty obvious, and maybe everyone makes this one subconsciously, well, I would expect everyone to, but I'm making it out loud so it's extra real, and extra important.
This coming year, 2012, I am going to live my life to the fullest I can live it! At the top of the list of ways to live my life to its fullest? Planning a trip to Paris with my roommate! We'll get there, Em, we'll get there, even if we have to sell our kidneys. Just kidding, I like my kidneys... the only catch is that if I go to Paris [her dream city] with her, she has to accompany me to South America [my dream!]. Rough life, right?
I think a healthier way of making a change in your new year is to set goals, instead of making set things that you are going to do. My main goal is to have a successful second term of school, and boost each of my grades one point higher than they were this past semester (ex. my B in Global History pre-1500 will be an A- at least in Global History post-1500). My second goal is to finally get my passport [yes, I'm a super procrastinator and just haven't done it yet!]. I feel like once I get that, I'll feel more motivated to actually get my act together to start planning trips to all the places I want to be! Of course, to do any travelling, I'll need to complete my third goal: getting another great job for this summer! I'd love my old job at the affordable housing organization that I had this past summer, but if that's not available I'm willing to do new things! Another goal of mine is to dress like a lady. In other words, I'm going to stop wearing sweatpants out of the house, and hoodies every single day. I've already begun! I got two cute tops, and two new pairs of pants yesterday! I'm on a roll!!! My last goal is to [again] finally start exercising [more than once and a while yoga and walking up the hill to meal hall]. I'm sure my roommate will motivate me to go to the gym with her - her puppy eyes are terrible, but it might be the only time we get to spend together this term, what with her starting up practicing piano [she had tendonitis this last term] and her crazy busy schedule!
What are your goals for 2012?
