So, everyone I watch on YouTube is asking about New Years Resolutions (can we just call them NYR? Cause I am typing with one hand because I am doing my nails at the moment...), and also my cousins were kind of curious about my NYRs.
But I hadn't really given much thought to them, but I decided I wanted to be more creative with them.
Because over half the world has announced like every other New Year they want to lose weight, or keep their weight at the level it is now. Or to jog everyday or whatever. And I am occasionally an Optimist but mostly a Pessimist, and I am not afraid to be honest and say that about only a quarter of you will succeed and then some might gain unhealthy eating disorders.
So I decided I will not make a goal weight, because it always sets you up for failure, but when you lose weight without having any sort of goal at all, it makes you happy, because you feel like you didn't even half to try for that weight. And so I am not going to make any diet or exercise goals, I just go by my rules (not goals, RULES (I've had these rules ever since I started receiving my own recurring pocket money when I was 11 and it was the first time I went to a school that had food you can buy food without planning beforehand you just have to have money)).
Rule #1) No change for a dollar chocolate bar (I always have notes and not change), then no chocolate bar.
Rule #2) Are you getting your money worth? Is that tiny strawberry tart worth a dollar fifty? I think not. Bye-bye tiny strawberry tart!
Rule #3) Always be hesitant.
My friends think of me as whimp for always saying "Pass", but who has more money at then end of the day? MOI.
Apart from I movie theatres, I never been anywhere else apart from Reading Cinemas that you can get THIS much Pepsi:
So finally what you ALLLL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY NEW YEARS RESOLUUUUTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(To be said out loud like at some WWE boxing/wrestling/whatever match).
#1) Be Nicer.
If you ever meet me, or already know me, you will know I can be pretty nice.
But when I get too close to you I become a little TOO honest (eg. You shouldn't have straightened your hair, it's totally fried). And some people are just really annoying but they don't know they're annoying it's just the way they are and it gets me really cranky (some people I know have done ALL of my pet peeves whether know it or not). And so when I get cranky can be upsetting for the person making me cranky because it is not really their fault because it is just something they do and occasionally can't help. So I need to work on my niceness.
#2) More Grace
I literally rolled my eyes as I wrote the word Grace, but I need to work on it, because I swear like a sailor.
And I'm a girl. And girls aren't meant to swear like sailors. And also I sit like a slob (slouchy, legs slightly spread, I mean come on! I look like a dude, oh yeah, stop saying dude is part of this grace thing as well).
And having a good posture means you don't look as fat as you would as a slouchy slob. And I guess being nice is part of grace.
#3) More Writing and More Sharing
I not only write this blog but I also write stories, and none of the stories so far have been completed (apart from a two page one I wrote when I was eight, but I don't think that really counts...) And my grandma is a write as well and she thinks I'm really good (and some others say so as well, but I don't want to brag, grace, grace). And my grandma in particular wants to see more of it, and I hate to say, but I am actually really private about my writing with adults because I don't like/fear getting the criticism of 'write what you know' and 'that isn't possible', so I tend not share, which of course drives my grandma mad. So I thought I should write more and share it with my grandmother more.
And there is that tiny extra goal to write on here more.
#4) Better at Cheerleading.
Practise, Go Hard, whatever.
#5) Take care of my skin
So, I used to be/still am pretty bad at looking after my skin.
So I used to always get sun burnt, but now I taken care of that.
Butttt I don't wash my face as much as I should and I don't exfoliate my skin, which is basically getting rid of dead skin cells. And so I know I should get more into the habit of washing my face, which is usually difficult on weekdays because we only have one bathroom in a cottage like house. And one sink and one mirror in that bathroom. And my mum takes a shower every morning and also gets changed in there so it is pretty crammed for time slots to wash my face and stuff. Especially since I like to have breakfast and sleep in and whatever. So PRETTY crammed. But at night the bathroom is pretty NOT crammed, so I will have to go ONCE a day face washing despite what the ads tell me to do TWICE a day.
And exfoliating is something I only hear about from beauty gurus on the internet and I don't come across stores that often that sell exfoliating products I can afford, and I know there is one LUSH in town, but I feel like maybe I do the whole exfoliating process wrong or I do it inconstantly. So next time I go to town with friends and I have money for the exfoliation products, I'll take a look around and see what I can find.
#6) Take care of my hair
So my hair is looking pretty bad at the moment (the amount of split ends are pissing me off).
So I need a trim. And I also need to invest in some shampoo that fixes hair which also apparently you can get from LUSH. I know it's called Rehab (heard about it via Beauty Guru). So I want my hair to have more comments on it, other than 'It's so long' (which it is), but I want things like 'OhMiGwosh it is so swoft and bweautiful!'
Also I need to invest in some hair protectant because I got a straightener for Christmas, but I refuse to use it until I know that my hair isn't going to be damaged from it. And some other kind of hair protectant you use before drying your hair with a blow dryer.
#7) Use my Student Diary
It got damaged from some pouring water on my bad last year, so when I get my 2012 one, I want to take EXTRA care of it and ACTUALLY use it.
#8) Socialise
I need to get in contact with my friends, I miss THEMMMMMM.
And I am only 'friends' with one guy. Who I haven't seen in over a year. So he was more like a acquaintance. And everyone of my friends are friends with MULTIPLE boys and make fun of ME for not having boy friends (see that space? Yeah? Means boy that is a friend. Boyfriend means in a committed relationship with this boy). And yet they refuse to let me meet them on some group outing. Bitches.
#9) Own More Awesome Movies
At the moment all of my movies my friends and I are sick of watching or they suck in general. Yeah...
#10) Try Hard in School.
There! I just gave you TEN NYRs. I hope you enjoyed.
PS If there is a Apocalypse, I want a Zombie one! It sounds like the most fun.
And the one I am most likely to survive...
Mainly becuase it incredibly easy to hit slow walking idiots on the head.
