I have never
completed a New Year’s Resolution in my life, and, personally, I blame it on
the cliché. Perhaps, if I retitle it and base it on a different holiday, I will
finally find strength to complete my goals. I found the idea for my little list
from the blog A Beautiful Mess. They
mentioned their own birthday lists and I thought it was a great take on the
typical New Year’s tradition. In Emma’s
own words it is “a list of goals for the upcoming year that corresponds with
our age”. Therefore, because I'm 17, I'll have 17 goals. Though a little
late, almost a month exactly, here's my birthday list!
1. Decorate my room so I love it
2. Grow out my hair
3. Bake from scratch
4. Take Ceramics all year
6. Spend spare time on test prep books
7. Read a fatty cold war book
8. Take a picture everyday
10. Eat more salad
11. Spend less time on the internet
12. Make Christmas Cards
13. Swim
14. Stay Hydrated
15. Write in a Journal
16. Make Sushi
17. Use reusable bags
There are so many
things that could be added to this list but I feel that these are the goals I
need to be reminded of. I also wanted to make these goals specific and as completeable as possible. I always
find it easier to do something if you know the exact requirements. No wishy washy stuff like ‘Get Fit’. I can’t wait to look back next year and
see how many of these goals can claim fulfillment! Do you have any resolutions this new year? If you're still searching check out this generator. It definitely inspired me.
