2013 Resolutions


I debating for a while whether to make new year's resolutions. I made far too many last year and failed to even complete half. So maybe I won't be too over ambitious with my new year's resolutions. Last year when I blogged I was so full of hope, so full of excitement.I believed with all my heart that I would be spending a summer of a lifetime in the United States of America, but that dream never came true. Funny I started of this year being very upset, seriously got quite upset as the clock stroked twelve for the new year. So I guess here are my New Year's Resolutions.

1. Graduate with a 2:1
This is my final year and I graduate this year! Oh how time has flown by, it only seems like yesterday when I started my first year. For my first year I got a 2:2 and for my second I got a 2:1. So it would be absolutely grand to finish off my degree on a high with a 2:1.



2. Be More Positive
I have always been a pessimistic person. My glass has always been half empty rather than full. I use to be a lot worse back when I was a teen, I have improved, but I am still a very negative person. 

3. Get Fit
Everyone thinks just because I am skinny it does not mean I don't need to exercise. If you ever seen me run for a bus you will know why I need to keep fit. I tell you now running for public transport is not fun when you get on and you sound like a heaving dog. One; it doesn't look cool and two; it is not attractive. Though I have to say there has been one time where I ran from the bus to the train, jumping on just as the doors close. Jumping on without falling over too! I felt like I was on some action movie, pulling off a stunt like that haha. But yes I need to keep fit. 

4. Don't Leave Essays To The Last Minute
Yes I know I made this resolution last year, and I did evidently leave some essays to the last minute, but I have learnt not to do that again lol. I know I shouldn't haha! Because I cannot write essays at the very last minute, my grades proved that. 

5. Go On Holiday
Bit of a weird New Year's Resolution, but I graduate this year and I want to travel, there is so many places I want to travel too. Of course you all know New York is my main destination, but if I can I would travel for the whole summer. 

(I can finally wear this bracelet on my grand travels. The purpose of this bracelet was to wear it when I go on my travels. That's why I bought it and added a whole bunch of charms to it.)

Some of the destinations on my my bucket list and I know It is impossible to make it to all these destinations this year.

America:

New York City - Where big lights will inspire you 
I have dreamt about New York for so long, I must make it there. 
Boston - Home of Harvard University
I really want to go to Boston, and go to Harvard University and get a jumper lol. Hell yes I want to pretend I go to Harvard! lol 
Washington D.C - Home of the Free

It's Vegas, everyone wants to make it there at least once in their life.

 So here are my new year's resolutions, trying to keep them a bit more realistic and less ambitious. This is bit of a short blog but here they are, hopefully I can accomplish them all this year, and maybe I can make some of my dreams come true. Not being too hopeful. 

Anyway Happy New Year everyone! May all your dreams come true! :)
