New Year, New Me

The title of this blog post is probably one of the most cliché sayings that is spoken every new year, when the clock strikes twelve… 'New Year, New Me'. Every year, I promise myself new year resolutions that I can just never seem to keep; things like: lose weight, be a more confident person or blog twice a week (which isn't so easy when you have the biggest deadline of uni on the horizon!) So this year, I have decided that I am going to find 15 things that I want to achiee and don't worry this isn't going to be one of these Oscar-worthy style summaries where I say 2015 is going to be my year because actually nothing I say ever seems to go to plan. In place of the new years resolutions that I never seem to keep is going to be a 2015 Bucket List where I have one of the most memorable years to date because I have so much to look forward to already like: my graduation, turning 21st and a holiday with my lovely uni girls.

15 things I want to achieve in 2015:
  1. Find my 1st (proper) full time job
    Since I'm graduating this year, it's probably time to start to thinking in terms of the real world and earning a living.
  2. Drink more water
    I know this is a type of resolution but realistically I feel 100% happier with myself when I drink the recommended amount of water.
  3.  Visit (at least) two different countries
    I think it's about time I see the world while I am still young.
  4. Start to read more books
    Ever since my dissertation started, I've been reading 20th century novels that analyse theory after theory and I miss cosying up into my duvet with a good book.
  5. Start saying 'Yes' to more opportunities
    I think this is self-explanatory really!
  6. Visit Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park
    I've always talked about going but my uni schedule just seemed to get in the way but when I finally graduate I will have no excuse not to go.
  7. Visit Harry Potter World
    I've waited so long and this will be acheived this year! (Don't let me down Louise, Eleanor and Charlotte)
  8. Go on another spontaneous road trip with friends
    Being spontaneous is always super exciting and when it's with friends it's even better.
  9. Start a scrapbook
    I will finally put all my photos from university into a scrapbook (I've only been saying it for the past two years)
  10. Graduate
  11. Visit all my uni friend in the summer
    Okay, maybe not all of them as that would be a lot! Just a few to begin with…
  12. Take better care of myself
    Take pride in my appearance but looking after myself a little more.
  13. Do a good deed for someone
    I wouldn't say I am selfish but it's always nice to put a smile on someone else's face.
  14. Go a whole day without ANY technology
    Now, I already that this is going to be extremely difficult as I have grown up in an ages where technology is on our doorstop but I suppose having a whole day without technology has it's benefits…
  15. Complete the 30 day abs challenge
    Now, I managed the 30 day squat challenge surely the ab challenge can't be that much harder… can it?
So, that's a wrap! Maybe check back at the end of 2015 when you can see if I have achieve my 15 things in 2015 and see what the next chapter in my life is going to be in 2016.
