We are officially on the halfway mark of 2015 and I decided that I should set some goals! I know, weird. But I just think that it’s the perfect time for me to set them since I will be finishing a chapter of my life this year: I’m finally graduating! So, I thought I’d list down 10 specific goals which I must accomplish before the year ends. So here’s a letter (sort of) for my future self along with the goals that I have to accomplish this year.
1.BLOG MORE : You must post at least one entry every week. Put this blog to good use, future self! You know you enjoy writing as much as you love talking so use this as an outlet for rants, fashion posts, reviews, and well, pretty much anything that you feel like writing about.
2. SAY YES TO A HEALTHIER YOU! : That means eating healthy, living healthy and loving yourself. You must improve your health physically, mentally, and emotionally. Be active again. Play sports, do Insanity, practice yoga, and more! Do anything that will be good for you. Learn to say no to the bad stuff no matter how sweet or how cheesy it may be. Get your rockin’ bod back, baby girl! Also, learn how to control your emotions and your temper. Try your best not to over-think too much. Nothing is ever in control. It’s all a matter of perspective.
3. READ 10 BOOKS : I know how much you miss reading books that aren’t filled with Japanese characters. When you’re done with school, grab a novel of your choice and be a hermit! If you read more than 10 books, that’ll be great too!
4. MAKE YOUR PLANS HAPPEN : At least three major plans, please! That business plan that you have been building for years now deserves to be pulled out of your files and placed into action. Don’t be scared to fail. It’s going to be a great experience! And if you feel that it’s too big for tiny you, just think of all the successful people who probably felt the same way but decided not to give up. If they made it, you can definitely make it too!
5. LEARN NEW THINGS : You have to learn at least one new thing every month. Get out of your comfort zone and just go for it. Also, learn more academically, if possible. It would be great if we had more credentials on our resume, future V!
6. TRAVEL, EXPLORE, GO ON ADVENTURES! : It doesn’t have to be something as great as going to the other side of the world (Would be great though!). Just go out and awaken your inner Wanderslut! Go on fun, spontaneous and crazy trips that you will remember forever. (Document everything so you won’t forget! You know how we are.)
7. SAVE UP : You’re not getting any younger, girl. You have to start taking control of your financial life! Stop storing your money in a secret spot in your room and finally commit to saving up for the future. Open a new bank account and save a good amount every month.
8. WORK HARD, PLAY HARD! : Don’t be a stressed out pengu who worries about everything too much. Work your hardest but never ever forget to take a break from time to time. You deserve it!
9. VOLUNTEER : May it be for a big thing or just something within your community, try to help out and give back as much as you can. May the rest of your year meaningful!
10. RECONNECT AND FIND NEW CONNECTIONS : I know you have been MIA for the last few years of uni and I know how sad you are that you’ve been missing out on a lot. This is the time to rekindle old friendships and make new ones! It’s gonna be great!
So, yeah. That’s pretty much it! 10 goals for the remaining half of my 2015. Hope I get to accomplish all of them. Wish me luck!
