So this is the new year, and I don't feel any different.
So this is the new year of 2004. The year I've been waiting for since I realized how long it would take me to leave South Florida. I wish I had positive energy into making myself a better, more productive, more efficient individual. So for now I'll make those obligatory resolutions that I know I won't accomplish. But maybe, just maybe in the month of December of 2004, I'll be able to cross one of these resolutions off and breath that sigh of relief and accomplishment.
1. Read more. I have so many unread, unfinished books. It makes me sad to look at all the neglected content. Besides, reading has always made me happy. And I need to feel happy this year.
2. End the frivolous spending. This needs to end. Charging everything and anything my heart desires is no longer a healthy replacement for boredom. I need to begin saving extra cash for those road trips/out of state trips I promised myself in college.
3. Concentrate on school. This resolution, whether it be to excell in the last few months of high school, or the beginning of my summer term in college, needs to get accomplished. Neglecting my school work and education is no longer an acceptable habit.
4. Culture myself, artistically. I really want to get a head start on my intended major, Art History. I will be researching and reading a lot more artists and eras. I will be attending more exhibits at the local art museums/galleries. If this is what I want to do in life, I need to start investing time. Also, even if I have a lack of talent for the fine arts, I need to start experimenting.
5. Stop being so superficial. This is an ugly trait of mine. At least I admit that I am..? In this so-called scene it's so easy to scoff at the not so fashionable and the "un-cool" kids. Whatever. I feel ashamed and embarassed that I form opinions of people by the way they dress. This needs to end.
6. Kill the procrastination. Procrastinating everything in life produces an undesirable, unacceptable outcome. And I always regret it. Preparing and organizing can help me overcome such adversity.
7. Be healthy. I know everyone promises themselves to accomplish this goal every new year. So don't laugh, I'm just joining the masses. Although, I really want to do this. I want to become healthy to be a much happier person. This will include eating a more balanced diet, properly working out at the gym, and becoming more active, rather than just sitting in my room. I want to form these lifetime good habits before leaving for college.
8. Become grateful. I'm a pretty ungrateful, spoiled little brat. And I complain way too often. I need to realize the positive aspects of my life and stop dwelling on the negatives.
So that's that. Overall, I want to be happy this year. I don't want to deny the awesome times of 2003, however, 2004 needs to be better. Well, these are my eight resolutions. What are yours?
