This year has taught me alot about life. I successfully made it through a full year at my first "big girl job," I finally moved to my first "real apartment" outside of college apartments, I cut huge ties with an ex boyfriend, I have visited friends in Michigan, D.C., and Denver, and I have leaned on my friends more than I ever have before. Until this year, I tried to do it on my own...i always thought it was easier to just manage things by yourself...or maybe I would lean on my mom or a boyfriend. This year taught me alot about leaning on my friends. My walls are still ridiculously high (only the people that read this blog have climbed those walls) but I know who I can and cannot trust. Though it did come with some broken friendships and opened my eyes to alot of people, I also added some people into my life which is even better! This year also taught me to slow down and really appreciate what matters...which is why I'm all about the changes and resolutions for 2012.
New Years resolutions are hard...especially at our age. But this blog makes it much easier and describes perfectly what we should (nt) be doing in the next year.
http://thoughtcatalog.com/2012/20-new-years-resolutions-for-20-somethings/
1. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU POST ON FACEBOOK OR TWITTER BEFORE YOU DO IT. God knows we could all benefit from this. Facebook has created so much drama for me in the past three weeks alone...I've thought about deleting it (but know I won't....only because we all get so used to this dumb social networking)
2. Figure out you wanna vote for President AND WHY!
3. Defintely work out/eat better as to avoid any weight gainage.
4. If you really like the person you’re hooking up with and would like them to be your boyfriend/ girlfriend, find a way to tell them, and hope for the best. If you don’t and wouldn’t, stop.
HA...this should probably be my number one goal...seeing as I have a big "kick me" sign on myself. Ive decided to take a break from guys altogether for a while. One..getting hurt sucks. And two...There is no use in forcing yourself to like someone that you don't just so that you are not lonely...I truely believe in the unexpected and that is worth waiting for.
5. Find a way to save approximately 300 dollars and spend it on a flight to see a friend or family member who lives far away.
I do this all the time! But I will definitely keep doing this in 2012...I love my friends and love being able to visit them around the country!
Spend less than or equal to the money you earn each month.
We'll see....
Call someone on the phone at least once a week, and speak to him or her for at least ten minutes.
Replace one terrible reality show you’re currently watching with one wonderful scripted show currently available on television. Swap suggestion: Real Housewives of Anywhere for HBO’s Enlightened.
Cut one person out of your life who you truly do not like and add one person who you truly do. Note: not on Facebook, on Earth.
I think it's important to look around you and realize who is surrounding you because you might miss someone that could be a positive addition in your life. And it is important to cut out the negative people that are bringing you down....BUT deleting people on facebook for stupid reasons is immature!
If you’re still blacking out regularly, you should stop.
ah yeah its about time to grow up and not black out....EVER...we're gettin to that age!
Tell someone who you love that you love them on a more regular basis. To their face, not in a text.
You'll regret it when they're gone if you don't.
