Its been a few months since I have turned 20, but I have decided it is time to change. Up until now, I've always worried about everybody else. I have worried about what everybody else wants and what everybody else thinks. My 20th year of life is going to be my year. I am making big changes and I am making these changes for me. I have huge goals for myself, and I am not going to let anybody get in my way.
1. Be nice to everybody.
Including the people who are not nice to me.
2. Live for myself.
I am going to stop living for others and finally do the things I want to do.
3. Put my health first.
My 20th year of life is going to be for me. I am going to live my healthiest life-mentally and physically.
4. Be unapologetically me.
This is going to be the year I find me and be me. Unapologetically.
5. Go graduate school shopping.
I want to find the perfect graduate school for me, and I am going to do that.
6. Try new things.
I am going to try new food, new clothing styles, and new interests.
7. Get out of my comfort zone.
I am going to push myself to the limit and do things I never would have done before.
8. Stay away from drama.
Drama is not something anybody wants, but this year, I am avoiding it at all costs.
9. Go to the gym more.
Let's be honest, we could all use this goal. This year, I am going to take it way more seriously now that my metabolism isn't what it used to be.
10. Get more involved at school.
I am already pretty involved, but I want to be even more involved. I want to participate in every social event with every organization I'm in. I want to run for more executive positions. I want to do more community service. I just want to do more.
11. Make more friends.
I want to build stronger bonds with the friends I already have, but I also want more friends. I want to make new connections with people. I want to build lifelong friendships with people like you're supposed to do in college.
12. Be the best mentor I can be.
I want to be able to be there as much as I can for my younger friends. I want to be able to give them the best advice possible.
13. Spend less time in my room.
I am going to stop sitting in my room as much. I am going to go out more. Sitting in my room can put such a damper on my mood, and this is the year that I stop doing that.
14. Get over some fears.
I am going to face some fears and make myself get over them.
15. Find a job.
I need to find a job, and one that I actually enjoy.
16. Love myself.
This is my year to show myself some love. I will love myself in everything I do.
17. Go on a fun trip with friends.
I just want to go on a really fun trip, possibly a full on road trip, with some good friends! There's nothing better than spending quality time with friends.
18. Care more about how I look.
I am generally the leggings and t-shirt type of person. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but I want to start dressing nicer and wearing make up more often.
19. Buy the things I want.
I am going to buy the things I want this year, as long as I have the money to do so. I'm not going to go into debt for something I want, but if I see something I want, I will get it.
20. Be happy.
Above all, I just want to be the happiest me I can be for all of my 20s, and that starts today.
My 20th year is my year of growth. I am going to learn more about myself and love myself more.
