self-improvement.
this is lame, but here are my "resolutions:"
1. treat my body well, every day. i need to remind myself that i deserve happiness and i deserve to feel good. only i can control how i feel, and i can't let other people's actions affect the way i treat my body. there's this great janis joplin quote that i see everywhere which pretty much sums this up:
don't compromise yourself. you are all you've got.
2. be more productive and stop playing on the computer.
ummm, what am i doing here now? okay, livejournal doesn't count because this is a creative outlet... or something. facebook is my downfall. i'm too interested in other people's lives. ray davies' new album is called other people's lives and it makes me wonder if there's any connection between davies naming his album that and my great love for his writing. hmmmm. something to ponder.
3. have fun and remember that i'm still young. which means i can fuck-up and be an asshole, as long as i'm aware of my asshole-ness. that's fair, right? basically, this means i can get wasted and do things i may regret later every once in awhile because now's the only time i have to do so. the real world beckons. i'll be done with undergrad in a year and a half, so i might as well get all my i'myoungandsuchabadass energy out now. if i really do have any. hah.
4. work on keeping in touch with people. i lose touch because i have this odd social anxiety/fear of calling people. what's the deal with that? i need to fix this.
5. work on my GPA. i love how this was an after-thought. yeah. i'm done.
