Though it's a little less than ten days away, I figured I'd make the topic now before anyone else could so I could look back and say, "Hey, I made that." Anyways, what are your resolutions for 2008? Mine are to not drink until I'm legally allowed to drink on July 21st, to manage my money better and to start working out and possibly (at the risk of being made fun of) start tanning.
Quit smoking. It already got my dad, and I don't want to be next. It's going to be hard. You have no idea how addicted I am.
Forget about lousy people who make my life hell. Hell! (Pun here), I'm going to have the best time in 2008. I hope. I have to ace katakana and hiragana. And then kanji is my main goal. And Olevels. And then go to Japan. With a friend or two. TANOSHI!!!
I would like to try not to take things so seriously whether it be at my job or personal. I have a tendency to worry over the littlest things. I really would like to stop that because most of the time the things I worry about are nowhere near as serious as I make them out to be.
My Resolution is to try to have more Self Confidence and not be as Shy in certain places. And also to start or FIX a good working relationship.
This resolution applies to me as well. I too have a problem of taking things too seriously or looking too much into things, and as a result I think I too should strive to just calm down when 2008 comes around. Like you said, hardly ever has a worry of mine actually turned out to be a big deal. It usually always proves itself to be exaggerated.
Uhh lets see, I should stop telling people what they want to hear all the time. Though I don't think I ever could stop doing that.
--- 1) go out more. I spend over 49 hours solid on my computer a week, and i go to the gym four times a week taking around 2-3 hours each time. So i only have a few hours extra in the week, and in those I'm usually doing coursework. 2) Try and socialize more on forums etc, yeah it clashes with number one, however a lot of those 49 hours or so are spent gaming lol. 3) cut back on my caffeine intake, i drink around 4-5 big cups of black coffee (without milk or sugar) a day. 4) Possibly go out with her, she comes over a lot to study with me, and we chat a lot and I've known she likes me for a long time, just haven't made a move. 5) Practice my Tai Chi more, used to do it a lot, now do it around once every two weeks, so I'm going to start that again.
01 :: To start getting more focused in school and less focused with emotional issues. 02 :: To start exercising and playing sports more often. 03 :: To start doing more work around the house and help my parents out a bit more. 04 :: To be a nicer person. 05 :: To find balance between time with my friends and time with Rachel. 06 :: To contribute more to these forums. 07 :: To practice my clarinet more. 08 :: To donate more to charity and spend less money on material items. 09 :: To raise funds for the band program at my school. 10 :: To find something or someone to believe in.
1) Be more creativity, draw more and improve artwise so I'm confident I'll get into Graphical Design after High School. 2) Graduate High School. 3) Meet some new people.
Few things I hope I can accomplish and not forget about 3 days into the new year. 1.) Regain my self-confidence back. I haven't had it in about 4 years, so I think it's time to start waking up and seeing the outside world. 2.) Lose some weight. Try to get somewhere under 200 lbs at least. Just wish I can get a water intake in my body. It's a bitch living with 2 brothers who drink nothing but soda. I tell my mom to keep buying me stuff like water and Gatorade, but she keeps forgetting no matter how many fucking times I ask. 3.) Get a job, or go to school...or a mix of both. I really don't want to leave you guys behind though. But maybe getting out of the house and doing stuff can help me get my #1 prioirty figured out. Meet some new people. 4.) Get my family to accept me for who I am. I don't mean telling them about my "secret" or anything, but just to tell them to shut up once in awhile and tell them that I can live my life the way I want to. Tell my brothers to just stop fraternizing me. So what if I don't enjoy the things you do half of the time, so what if I spend all day on the computer...IT'S MY FUCKING LIFE! Sure, I need to change, but I don't want to fully change and become something different. 5.) Probably the most important part. Clean slate everything. And that means the friends I have here today...gone, including....yes, Angie. I've been wanting to just end things peacefully with her, friendship wise and stuff. I mean, I don't want to stop being friends with her, but it's to a point where I can't have her in my life because it still makes me think about everything. And it's been a pain on how to tell her the truth.
Carry on being awesome and making a difference. Seriously though, if I set myself targets I never hit them so in that case I guess I'd rather take things as they come, if anything.
Keeping my room and flat respectably tidy.. yet looking lived in so my bf can stay round (he has never been over in our one year relationship *is embarrassed*) Keep my motivation afloat so I don;t procrastinate when a huge assignment is due. To master Hard on Guitar hero And most of all to eat no more than I burn off so I do not gain or lose weight
Like I said earlier, my MAIN new years resolution is to give myself an attitude adjustment. I would like to stop taking little things to heart, and in the same light I would also like to stop taking those things so seriously as well. My main goal for the new year is to become less stressed and more easy going than I ever was before. Some of my other resolutions: 1. Lose the rest of the weight I've been trying to shed off, and get down to about 165-175 pounds 2. Either get promoted at the place I work now or find another job elsewhere (one that has WEEKENDS OFF) 3. Save my money better so that I get at least 10,000-15,000 saved by years end. 4. Learn how to drive properly and get good at it so I can see Andrea more 5. Be as great of a boyfriend as possible to Andrea.
