I have never been much of a New Year’s Resolutions person. Given my laziness and lack of self-control, the idea of resolutions seemed hopeless to my high school self, especially since I couldn’t even stick to a diet for more than a week, let alone for an entire year.
But as the (barely) mature college student that I am today, I figured it was about time I get my life together and map out how I can be successful in the new year. Because that’s the adult thing to do, right?
1. Going Vegetarian
More specifically, going pescatarian. For those who do not know, pescatarians are vegetarians who include seafood in their diet. My reasons for this change are personal and I am not trying to impose my views on anyone. I do not support intensive animal farming and I believe that vegetarianism is not only environmentally sustainable but good for your health. Here's a quick guide on how to start becoming a vegetarian: http://www.nomeatathlete.com/relax/
2. Maintain a Consistent Sleep Schedule
After a semester of messing up my sleep schedule and getting at most 5 hours a night, I am finally putting my foot down. In the new year, I will force myself to get at least 8 hours of sleep to ensure that I stop dozing off in my 10 am classes!

3. Use My Bullet Journal
I say this every year, but I WILL be organized in 2017. I feel that bullet journaling will be very effective for me since it is a much more flexible way of keeping track of assignments and obligations. Plus, it's totally customizable!

4. Find the Confidence to Go BLONDE
I have always wanted to go platinum, but for the longest time, people told me Asians couldn't pull off blonde hair. In 2017, I hope to get over any insecurity I have about dyeing my hair and actually go for it! By the way, this is a picture of Kicki Yang Zhang, one of my favorite YouTubers.
