New Year, New Resolutions (Part 2)

Let's try this again.

Looking back at my old resolutions I realized that I did NOT complete my goals. Yikes. Do I even try and make new ones to go through for the upcoming year? You bet I am. 2019 is actually going to be my year. I know I said that last year but that's before I experienced what college is actually like and this past semester at my new school really opened my eyes. So, let's try that again.

1. Self-Love

I told myself that I was going to love myself all throughout 2018, but clearly, that didn't work. I fell back into the hole that I was once in. But this upcoming year is going to be different, I met some new people who have made me feel more special than I ever have before. I joined a sorority and these girls are my lifeline now. They make me feel more amazing than ever and when I'm with them I feel safe and secure and loved. Before I can have someone love me (which is never going to happen), I have to love myself.

2. Workout more

I have a gym membership at school. I really need to use that especially since that was so expensive. I feel bad wasting money and I really need that money for other things especially since school seems to be so SO expensive.

3. No shits given

You've heard it here, folks. I'm giving up boys. This past semester has been nothing but stress all because of the male species. And I have had it up the last straw with boys causing me nothing but , and so in that mindset. I AM DONE. But I already know that as soon as I say that next thing you know another trouble-maker comes along. That's exactly how it works. I wish it wasn't like that but unfortunately, it is.

4. Confidence

I seriously need to work on confidence. Like not to be cocky but I have a really nice face and I just don't understand why I can't see that in myself. Like I am actually really pretty with or without makeup and I don't need makeup to make myself happy. I just need to accept that I am who I am and I need to be happy in my skin. It's not like I can change who I am and what I look like, so I need to learn to embrace it and know that I am beautiful and don't need anyone to tell me. I need to know it in my heart.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
