waste
it's a matter of priorities, really. wasted time v wasted money v wasted materials. rifling through consignment stores and goodwills and sale piles for hours v quickly running into macy's or pacsun or target and getting what you need. buying crappy stuff that always needs replacing or good things that, even if you don't want them anymore, will serve someone else well for years. buying secondhand things that would have eventually ended up in a landfill v buying "brand new" stuff, usually at a lower quality:price ratio.
i decided a summer ago that i wanted to be less wasteful. like most of my resolutions, it's been broken and bent and utterly forgotten at times. but i've kept up with it. even when i forget (usually when stephy brings me to h&m or even worse, forever 21), i usually get back on track. and it hasn't been that hard. no less time-consuming than my usual shopping method anyhow. i don't know how well i can bring the less-waste attitude to the rest of my life. i'm certainly not very good about wasting time. but this is the first success i've had in a while, self-improvement-project-wise, and i felt the need to be self-congrajulatory before the emotional carnage that is finals. so back to pharmaceutics i go. and back to *insert your subject here* to you too! shoo!
