I've honestly never really been one for resolutions. I don't have anything against them, but let's face it - I'm just too lazy to put the thought into them! This year I thought...why not?! What do I have to lose? I'll set a few goals for myself. If I don't stick to them then I'm really no worse off than I've been in past years when I haven't set goals at all...right? That's what I'm telling myself, at least. So hold on tight, 'cause here we go!
Goal #1: Get my workout on!
Yeah, yeah...I know. The regular ol' stereotypical resolution. I figure I may as well aim high! I have free access to the gym on campus, it's within walking distance, and they even offer all sorts of free classes. I seriously have no excuse. Then maybe I wouldn't feel like this anymore!
Goal #2: make hobbies and talents a priority
Until this Christmas break, I hadn't really realized how much I've missed reading. I used to read all the time when I was growing up...and I loved it! I never lost my love for reading, but I never really gave myself the time to do it, either. ...how unfair is that?! I've decided it's healthy to give myself time for hobbies, so I'm gonna do just that gosh dang it! So that means singing more freely, reading more often, baking just because, playing the piano just to pass the time, writing to release my emotions, and painting my nails just because I like to! I guess I'll be adding blogging to that list now too!
All throughout the break Emmi and I read until we were tired, napped until we weren't, and then woke up and read some more =)
Goal #3: stay in contact with the people I love
Life moves fast...like super fast. In the blink of an eye my first semester of college was over. It was the same with high school. Every time I reach a milestone of one sort or another I get all anxious. I get attached to people easily, and I'm terrible with good-byes. They completely tear me apart. So I've decided that I just won't say good-bye anymore. I'll say see ya later, ta ta for now, in a while crocodile...but not good-bye...that's too final. It'll create more work for me - more emails and letter and phone calls, but it's a challenge I'm willing to accept!
This was one of my latest "See ya soon" moments...my roomie, Sarah, graduated and moved away, but she won't get rid of me that easily!
I've got a million other goals to set (and I'm sure I'll add more to this list before I'm done) but this is a start at least! Maybe typing them up and setting it in stone will make me actually feel more obligated to hold to them...*crosses fingers*...we've got a whole year to see how this one pans out, folks!
