New Year's resolutions, hm.
Every year, I have my resolutions.
Every year, I fail to fulfill quite a few of them.
Thus, this year, I shall not be stupid. As in, I'll stop making resolutions that I absolutely cannot keep. "Stop swearing" is one of those impossible ones, so I'll just forget about it. As degrading as my swearing can be, I guess it's alright as long as I limit it to mates. I control myself pretty well nowadays since projecting a more professional image's important - it's like a responsibility of being an adult and all.
Right. Let's get on with the list.
- Advance further in the writing dream.
Being able to write for YILB is seriously a dream come true. I never would've thought it possible. Writing for them is enjoyable, not to mention everyone works as an effective team with editor-in-chiefs, college reps, and a social media group. It's exciting, and I can't wait to experience more.
Will Yilb it up as things come.
Then of course, Anne, you really have to start out on an original novel. Fanfiction isn't going to sell, and you've been there long enough. 'Sides, your dream is to write something that could inspire everyone. Start early - get on with it.
And if you could win like a couple of small writing competitions, that'd be pretty cool too.
- Handle the double degree with as much grace and efficiency as possible - good grades and shit.
Which basically means, less frustrating issues of last-minute studying. More note-taking, more concentration. And of course - this goes without saying that I have to do the best I can in my results. I'm definitely looking at A grades, plus grades that allow me to make the top two-hundred students entering second year Law. Come on, Anne, look at Oxford. You will apply after your degree. Promise.
Law, English and Politics - come at me, bro. I'm fired up for everything, I'm motivated. Let's get that term started. - Maintain a healthy sense of self - physically and mentally
It really isn't a big secret that I have some seriously messed up opinions, but that doesn't really matter. What I have is what I have, nothing much can be done about that.
What I need to do, however, is to maintain this sort of thinking. Acceptance is the first step, maintenance is the second. It won't be easy, but I'll have to do it. With that kind of workload this year, it'll take a lot to stop me from breaking down. I'll do the best I can to stay motivated while making myself feel confident at the same time. This also means being more independent - and less whiny....
And seriously? This is about it for now. Of course there are the usual things I'd love to do - traveling, saving up on cash - but those aren't exactly on my priority list. For the time being I'm still relying heavily on my parents, so I don't have the right to talk about anything cash-related. Fall in love? Well, that's not a priority of mine either. For the time being I am contented with myself and the freedom I have. The breakup I had a few days ago alerted me to the fact that being on my own can be quite a blessing - and no way am I interested in tying myself down to a person who talks about marriage and who is angry when I don't text at least once a day. When the time comes, it will come
I have my goals. I have my aims.
That, to me, is the most important thing now.
