With a new year comes new resolutions and goals we set for ourselves. I've learned that, for me personally, making resolutions don't work. I somehow always end up thinking of them in a negative way and that defers me from wanting to actually accomplish them. So I started thinking of them as a year long bucket list. Things I wanted to do/places I wanted to go within the upcoming 365 days. It makes it more fun for me anyways, who doesn't love crossing things off their bucket list.

This year I decided I'd share my 2017 bucket list, that way people who don't like making resolutions have another option they may not have thought about.

Go To More Concerts
Realistically, I go to more shows than most people I know. But in 2017 I want to go to as many amazing shows as I can. I'm already confirmed to see Green Day and Metallica, who knows what other tours will be announced, and I plan on going to as many as possible.

See More Movies
Once I went off to school, I stopped seeing movies in theaters because there just isn't one near me. I used to go once a week in high school and I loved it. Since I want to go into the makeup industry, specifically for film, it feels like research almost. Besides, theater popcorn is amazing.

Exercise More
Now I'm not unhealthy by any means, but I am in college and when I have down time I for sure don't take advantage of it. This year I want to change that. I need to get outside and move around. Probably not running because I have asthma and I might die, but maybe at home yoga and some good walks.

Stop Spending Money On Food
Honestly, spending money on food makes me so angry but when I'm at school I get too lazy to make food for the week so I can take it to school. It's too expensive for me to keep doing that, and there's no reason I can't pack a lunch. I just need to stop being a lazy college kid.

See New Places
I want to travel, I want to see the world and all it's wonders. Unfortunately, college comes with a budget. But I have a few trips in the works right now and I am determined to make them happen so I can see some new places and expand my horizons.

Go To The Beach
Truth be told, I've never been to the ocean. I'm not sure how I went 19 years without ever setting foot into salt water, but I did and 2017 will be the year I swim in the ocean. I will make sure of it!

Read More Books
I'm such a book lover and college takes away all the time I'd have to read. But somehow, this year I am going to read more books and buy more books. I will discover new authors and new series that will inspire my own writing.
