I realized today in my Political Science class just how stupid I've been about myself since I was, oh, able to take care of myself. So the following rules now apply to Tarah. Read and take heed, because I will be strong:
I will no longer eat fast food/at restaurants unless I am in the following situations:
1. on vacation (and I mean somewhere other than home)
2. celebrating a holiday
3. celebrating someone's birthday/anniversary/etc.
I will never again eat McDonald's hamburger meat. At least, not in the States.
I will no longer neglect my health. And this time I mean it. I'm sick of fatness and headaches.
I will conserve my money and energy.
I will not procrastinate.
I will go to bed at decent hours.
I will drink alcohol moderately. I will never again drink alone.
I will save money for Edinburgh. Fuck bank loans.
I will enjoy school and work harder.
I will never again speed more than five miles over the speed limit. Tickets suck.
I will live life to its fullest, even if it means dying.
And most importantly:
I will stand up and work toward the things I believe in. I believe in free range/natural foods, peace for everyone, wildlife protection, good education for everyone in the world, the right for women to choose, the exchange of ideas without being called 'Anti-American,' free will, religious freedom (and I mean TRUE religious freedom), sexual freedom, love, hope, passion, and people. Together we can make it happen.
Who's with me?
