My Goals For 2015
10:17 PMI've already blogged about my New Year's resolutions, so some of you might be confused. To me, goals and resolutions are two completely different things. Resolutions are lifestyle changes and reminders. They are things I want to be or become rather than I things I want to do. Goals, on the other hand, are concrete achievements. So here is what I want to have completed by the end of 2015:
Read at least 10 books: Reading is somethings I really love to do, but with schoolwork and technology being both such a big part of my life, it's hard to find the time to sit down and enjoy a good book. This year I want to challenge myself to read more and better books. I want to transition and start reading more "grown up" books (at least 3 this year); whether they be philosophical, anthropological, or even just biographies, inspirational books, etc. I really enjoy 'teen books', and I won't give them up, but I want to start gaining and learning something from my readings (even though I'm a firm believer that all books teach something).
Start coding: I've actually already started this earlier this week. Codes have always intrigued me, but also scared and confused me. I want to become more familiar with them so I can improve the appearance of this blog, but also so that I have an extra life skill. If this is something you're interested in, this is the perfect way to start (free).
Give to charity: I'm a very privileged person and I think it's time I start giving back. This year I want to donate to charity and help out others. While I may not have money to donate, I have plenty of other goods. For example, clothes. I have so many shoes and bags and jackets that I don't use anymore that other people could benefit from. I'm still not sure exactly how I'm going to achieve this, but I'm working on it.
Reorganize my room: This year I started putting together my room a bit more, and I need to continue because it's a mess. I don't like most of the furniture and I hate the layout, so there's a lot of work to do. I want it to become a space I'm proud of, and also something that embodies me. At the same time, I don't want to spend too much money so DIYs all the way!
Keep a "tumblr" like journal and paint more: I'm not good at keeping journals, I always give up, so I don't know how well this is going to turn out but I'm still determined to try. I want it to be an outlet where I can be creative and start to paint more (which is something I really want to do). I'll be sure to keep you all updated on the process of this diary.
For those of you who might be confused, this is kind of what I mean when I say "tumblr" journal. (this image is not my own and comes from tumblr) |
Stop popping pimples: Yes, this might be gross, but it's true and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. For me, popping pimples is a bit of a stress reliever. If there's a pimple, I just have to pop it. It's bad. They become red and often leave a scar, and in the end they're more noticeable than they were originally. Plus it spreads more bacteria which favors the birth of new pimples, so it's a never ending cycle.
Reach 30 followers: I've said it before, and I'll say it again: blogging for me is not about the numbers. However, I do want to create a community and receive feedback on my posts. I don't want my hard work to go unnoticed and I want to gain new tips and new friends. I'm currently at 20 followers (which is crazy, thank you so much!) and I have no idea if I'm going to reach 30, but I would really love to.
