Happy new year everyone, welcome to 2015 and all that jazz. Now I've never really been one to make a list of resolutions every January simply because, firstly, I never end up sticking to them - I end up breaking them within the first 24 hours and secondly, I just don't really see the point in them. Instead I prefer to give myself goals/tasks, or something to want to achieve within or throughout the year. So without further ado, here is my list of goals for 2015.
• Spring clean my bedroom, make-up, wardrobe and bookcase — I have far too much clutter that I simply just don't use or wear and I've pretty much run out of space to put anything.
• Learn how to cook — Knowing how to make toast and the odd omelet isn't acceptable anymore. I really should be able to use more than the toaster.
• Stop biting/grow my nails — Touch wood, so far so good. 7 out of 10 now are somewhat acceptable enough to (very shoddily) paint. At least they have the white tips on them which is a good sign.
• Use older technology more — Living in a world where you can find almost anything on the Internet in less than a few seconds has made me all nostalgic for 'older' gadgets. Time to go back to basics, dig out my Walkman (which actually used to be my mum's before I had it), my old Gameboy Color and get to grips with my fantastic Christmas present of a record player.
• Save, save, save — Finally learn to save money, like actually save a decent amount of money and don't get tempted into buying things that I really don't need. (I'm looking at you Topshop and your far too tempting window displays - repeat after me: 'I do not need another jumper/skirt/pair of jeans')
• Try to eat healthier — No more trips to Greg's and Maccy D's in my lunch break, also no skipping meals, that's not good either.
• Read more books — For a huge bookworm like myself it's kind of shocking that I haven't read a book cover to cover in the past few months. There's quite a few out there that I want to read so they should be going on my birthday list at some point.
• Figure out what's going on with my eyebrow — Bit of a odd one. Long story short: out of the blue (every few months or so) my left eyebrow itches and then half of it falls out, leaving a burn mark (all without touching it.) No idea why it happens but I'm fed up of it and really want to know why it actually does it.
• Actually watch all the shows and films in my Netflix list — There's no point in just adding more and more to the queue if I never get around to watching any of them. For anyone interested in currently I'm re-watching the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who and just about to start Pretty Little Liars.
• Look into the logistics of traveling — It's something that I've always wanted to do and I have a few opportunities to visit Australia and New Zealand, so why not.
Great list! I need a spring clean in this house for sure. So much that can be thrown away to make space!
ReplyDeleteI also want to save more and look into traveling, even if it's just around Europe!
