I guess my first one is to actually update and utilize my blog. I mean I made it back in the day for that purpose, right? So in general, a lot of people all scoff at New Year's Resolutions, right? But I'll bet those exact people are all making resolutions themselves and just not admitting to anyone else so that they can continue to scoff. But to validate their perspective, I understand the cheesiness of new years resolutions. "NEW YEAR NEW ME!" Uh, really? I don't think that you're entirely new person because the year changed. But I can understand where people think "oh new year--> I could make some changes in my life this year." That logic I get.
Now I wouldn't exactly call what I'm doing "making new years resolutions" but refocusing on things. And those things are as follows:
--> Live up to my potential. You know, actually putting in the time and effort to be the best I can be. Whether that be in mock trial, leadership positions, classes, or within my majors (research, internships, additional scholarships). I hate looking back on things and wondering how they would have turned out if only I had given them my all.
--> Strengthening my relationships with people. There are a ton of great, fantastic, incredible, inspiring, caring people in my life. I really want to do more to let them all know how much I value having them in my life and having those people there for me when I need them. Maybe even you know, expressing more emotion to show it? Ha, the thought of that. I think my point is made though. Make more time for people essentially.
--> Learning to love myself. Not that I don't like myself or anything, but I could care for myself more. Learn more about who I am, what I value, what I want, instead of trying to fit to a mold of what I think all of those answers should be for me.
--> Be healthier. Which is probably the most popular new year's resolution but actually commit to my fitness and build a body that I like because I like it not because of some meaningless number on a scale that measures the effect of gravity on my mass.
