17 Goals for 2017
Oh My Disney

I was at work today (the beginning of the new year) and one of my co-workers said that they create 17 goals (aka resolutions) for 2017 with their family. She explained that as a goal is completed you cross it off the list and at the end of the year, you see how many you accomplished. So, I decided to try this out and as this will be published online for anyone to read (so you'll be able to hold me accountable to these). We'll revisit these at the end of the year to see how I did.

(Side note: these are not ranked/ not in any particular order)

But for now, here are my 17 goals for 2017


1. Drink more H2O!


2. Find a quote of the day. As I picked up hand lettering at the end of 2016, I plan to find a quote to inspire my day and write out.

(Day 1: Have Courage & Be Kind -Cinderella)


3. Read 52 books (avg.1 book/week, but we'll see how that goes).


4. Explore a small town.


5. Create 17 DIY's.


6. Become tidier - clear clutter and organize!!


7. Find a pen pal! (If you're looking for one, email me @ liana.bustamante@gmail.com!!)


8. Eat Breakfast.


9. Attend Lots o' Concerts!

(Try to find me!! Hint: I'm wearing a pink party hat :D)


10. Attempt to sleep (more) / Find myself a sleep schedule.


11. Make my bed everyday.


12. Apply for at least 3 scholarships a week!


13. Create schedules and manage time.


14. Keep a journal for doodles, notes, dreams (from sleep).


15. Bake an apple pie, entirely from scratch!


16. Disneybound once a week (or 52 times).


17. Be happy & positive!!


2017, LETS DO THIS!!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
