Happy New Year

Hiya!

I'm too many hours too late, but hey, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I spent New Year's Eve at my friend's house, watching films, TV, and playing Wii games for 6 hours...

I kept on losing, but it was all about having fun, and I did have fun. I'll just keep telling myself that, and the fact that she had an unfair advantage over me seeing that she'd played them before... ;)

Anyway, we then watched the countdown and the London firework display on TV. They were actually pretty good this year, very colourful, which I like.

Let's hope that 2016 will be an amazing year for everyone (because let's be honest, 2015 was, well, not so good).

I'm not one to make (and definitely not stick to) New Year's resolutions, but this year I plan to be in control of my own happiness and generally have a better outlook on life. I know that I need to work hard to be happy in the long term, but I'll definitely focus on staying happy in the short term too.

Anyone made any resolutions? I hope they last long ;)

With that said -

LET 2016 BE OURS!!


I love you

'RESOLUTIONS' FOR THE NEW YEAR

Hi y'all

I haven't been on here in ages...

So school started on Monday 5th. That's what happened. Although nothing much is happening at school at the moment, I still can't have my late sleep-ins. On Monday at lunch, I sat in the canteen, stared at the clock for a while, and realised that in the holidays I woke up at that time.

I've also been addicted to Wattpad and YouTube right now and haven't got enough will-power to get myself to write anything. But I'd just say my excuse is that I've been 'busy'.

Sorry

I mean nothing much has been going on.

I guess there's been the start of the new year, and I haven't really done anything on my blog for it. No list of resolutions, things I accomplished, reasons why last year was my best year, or reasons why this year will be better.

Have you made any new year resolutions? I know it's been a week into 2015 already, but have you broken any? I usually fail mine in the first 24 hours. Last year, for example, I promised myself that I would write in my diary and on my blog. I guess that turned out badly - I can't even find my diary anymore.

I haven't made 'resolutions' as such, more like 'ways-I-can-improve-myself'. And I don't plan on sticking to them all the time, it's just a few general tips to myself. And I tried to keep them realistic. I hate it when people make resolutions such as "I'm going to do 5 hours of exercise each day". Unless you have a job which consists of only sports, or you don't have a job at all, then that's not possible.

Anyways...

I guess the first one is to be nicer to people. I realised the past year I've been really grouchy and become irritated easily. I mean I haven't been doing a very good job so far...but I really need to be nicer to people around me.

Another is to be less awkward in social situations. I'm not talking about a whole change in personality, I just want to be more outgoing and be able to actually talk to people. I used to have a friend, but then our friend groups were really different so we kinda just stopped talking. Now it's really awkward to talk to her and I never know what to say. So I want to be able to be myself around her, and others, rather than think too hard about what to say.

Too deep, I'm sorry :/

And I guess you can't start a new year without a goal associated with health or fitness. So, finally, I also want to keep a watch on what I eat this year. I've tried setting myself fitness goals, but I can never be bothered to do anything physical. And I don't exactly want to go on a diet or lose weight. This goal is mainly just getting me to eat a bit more healthily. Stuff like eating more vegetables, eating more of the foods that are good for you, and drinking more water.

It also means to cut down on chocolate (not doing well so far - I've had exactly 4 and a half 100g chocolate bars, as well as others, in the past week), sweets, fizzy drinks, and other foods which I eat purely for the pleasure of the taste and happy feeling I get. I get high on sweets ;)

These are my main goals. Obviously, throughout the year, I'll make other smaller goals, which will be much less vague and more...refined? I don't even know if that's the right word... But anyways, that will be for another day.

❤️

Well, I guess that's all for today. From the short post I expected this to be, to the long post it turned out to be.

I love y'all, and goodbye!
