I am in shock, actually, at how fast this year went and it doesn't even seem like New Year's at all. 2013 had it's amazing moments and not so great moments. But, I have a feeling 2014 is going to be a great year. With every new year though, comes the inevitable break of my resolutions. However, this year, maybe considering it is documented here, I will stick to it. Maybe...I said maybe. Here are some of my resolutions for 2014:
1. Exercise Every Day!
I am horrendous at making sure I get exercise every day. I will come up with any excuse in the book not to go. The list includes: 10 more minutes and I'll go, it's too dark, it's too cold , it's too hot, The Bachelor is on, I can skip today(which by the way, doesn't really work I found out if you skip every day) But, I am forcing myself to do at least 30 minutes of calorie burning a day. I can't wait for the excuses I'll come up with every day to avoid it this time. Stay tuned...
2. Seriously think about what career I want
God, I hate making adult decisions. I will put it off at all costs. Well, not that I am at college, it's time to actually start deciding what it is I want to do. Currently, I am studying Elementary Education to be a teacher, but I am not a hundred percent positive that is what I want to do. I love writing and am thinking of something in communication or journalism. Thing is, I don't quite trust my 18 year old self to decide what exactly I want to be doing for the next 40 years of my life...But, I better get to thinking.
3. Travel more
I WANT TO SEE INDIA! LONDON! PARIS! TOKYO! Too bad I got the old ball and chain(college tuition) dragging me down as soon as I get any bright idea that involves a few bucks. However, this summer, my parents are treating us to go see our family in Ireland and make a stop in London. I am so excited. I have not been to Ireland in about 4 years( which is a lot for us because my parents are from there) and I have never been to London. I am a little bit obsessed with London. Ahh, my friends are going to have their eyes roll to the back of their heads when they first hear me refer to my cell phone as a mobile after being gone an extensive two weeks...Channeling my inner Madonna, you could say. We will also be traveling to New York City in July for a sports tournament my brother is in. I'll probably still be shopping at Target while in NYC. Hey, I got a budget, you know.But, I do want to travel more, even if it's a quick hour drive for a day trip. I want to soak up the world because it is my oyster and all.
Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely and amazing 2014. You can do anything you want, you seriously can. I believe in you and you can thank me later in your Oscar speech and also with one million dollars. Be kind. Enjoy!
