2012
Herro, friends. I'm sorry for being MIA. But it's just a fact that I come and go on here, and therefore I'm sometimes a shitty LJ friend. So yeah, sorry about that.
So...originally I decided I wasn't going to make any New Year's resolutions, because I never follow through with them. Yet I still have goals for the year so that's basically the same thing, right? So, scratch the "no resolutions" thing. Here is a list of things I want to do this year, in no particular order:
1. Lose like 20 pounds. The holidays have NOT helped my figure, haha. I'm afraid to step on a scale and see how much I've gained since the last time I got on a scale, which was in like mid-October. It's going to be VERY depressing when I actually do it. AHHHH. Maybe one year I'll get a bikini body, but I doubt that will happen without a personal trainer and a little bit of surgery lol (half kidding there). So that's highly unlikely. For now, I'll just go with the diet and losing about 20 pounds.
2. Get a decent job. I need to get a job, period, soon. So at first it probably won't be such a great job. I have finished my degree, but I won't technically graduate until May. So I'll probably (hopefully) be able to get a better one after that. A good job before that would be nice, but I'll take what I can get for the time being. Well, no...that's not entirely true. I have some standards. I'm kind of scared, because I have never had a full-time job before. I know, that's kind of pathetic, seeing as how I'm 26. But I have been super sheltered my whole life in a lot of ways, and I am SO far behind on the whole being an independent grown-up thing. I have worked full-time for a couple weeks at a time before, but that was at a part-time job during the holidays. I have never had an actual full-time job.
3. Become a decent guitar player. I got an acoustic guitar for Christmas, which I LOVE. I know it's going to take a long time to become a good guitar player (if that ever happens), but I'd like to at least be able to play more than a few little things by the end of the year!
4. Move out. Yep, another way in which I'm lame and not a grown-up. I have never lived on my own before. So I need to save up some money and move out. Honestly, it terrifies me. But I have to do it. I'm not getting any younger.
5. Figure out my school situation. I need to figure out exactly what I want to do. I have a tentative plan, but I don't know.
6. Work on some of my lame ass issues. I'll just leave it at that for now. I don't really feel like delving into that right now. In short: I need to work on coping mechanisms, self-confidence, and being independent. Basically, I just need to work on being happy.
Hmmm, that's all I can think of right now.
