A New Year’s resolution post probably isn’t what you expect on February 1st. The truth is I’ve just gotten around to really truly thinking about my resolutions. There is some reasoning behind this. January was a crazy month, and with the instability of being home and then starting a new semester, I decided to take the time to gauge where I really am. I want to make a lot of changes this year.
Usually, my resolutions resemble an outline, just an endless list of little things I should improve on, like drinking more milk so I can be slightly less healthy. This year, I want to stay realistic while focusing more on the big picture (maybe I should add that to my list). Here’s what I want to work on for the next 12 11 months of 2011:
♥ try to create a somewhat-regular sleeping schedule
This is hard as a college student, especially since so many random commitments come up. I need to work on going to bed and waking up at consistent times
♥ create a budget
I’m decent at saving my money. Knowing how much money I have saved, not so much.
♥ keep things organized on a daily basis
I have this terrible habit of not putting away my clothes and books at the end of the day, letting it all pile up. Not pile up.
♥ take classes and future more seriously
Not that I don’t have panic attacks about how much every little assignment will impact my future, but too often I want something without doing anything to get there. No bueno.
♥ blog at least ten times a month
Weekly goals are a little constricting for me, but I can work with monthly goals.
♥ work on creating better content on here, whatever that means
♥ cut back on my complaining
I like to think that I’m really talented at complaining, but the truth is no one likes a whiner.
♥ work on that health thing some more…
Work out buddy + healthier grocery shopping = ??
♥ drink more strawberry milk
Because it’s delicious
♥ Be more positive
This half-empty girl needs to be more glass half-full
♥ take classes and future more seriously
Not that I don’t have panic attacks about how much every little assignment will impact my future, but too often I want something without doing anything to get there. No bueno.
♥ stay in touch with my friends from home better
I know the most amazing women back home, and I want to talk to them more often! I miss my girls. 🙂
♥ ♥ ♥ The one thing that I want most though is to be happy. I never realized until recently that happiness is a choice, not something that just happens. I need to take an active role in creating my own happiness.
What are your New Year’s resolutions? How have you been working on them?
