I think this year is going to be quite a significant one.
For starters it's the last year of sixth form, which means it's the last school year with all of my friends being in the same town at the same time. Pretty much all my friends have applied for University now and believe me, we could end up all over the country so I've promised myself to make the most of the time that's left with them all. You definitely get to a point where you realise arguments are just a waste of time and I think that attitude is part of the reason why I've maintained a lot of my close friendships. It's easy to get carried away with A levels and I think it's important to remember your friends too. As I've mentioned many times before, this year also involves taking my A2 exams, which I'm not looking forward to at all - so much pressure. I also turn 18 this year, how crazy, I remember when I was little I used to think being that age was so old and so far away! Anywho, I thought I'd do my normal list of things I want to do or achieve this 'important' year.
- Pass my driving test
- Get into my first choice University
- Make the most of the time left with old friends
- Be more confident in general
- Keep in touch with people when/if I go to Uni
- Procrastinate less and be more motivated
- Do well in my A2 exams
- Spend more time with my family
- Keep my blog going for at least one more year
That's all I can think of right now, I may add to this later.
Does anybody else have aims or goals for the year rather than typical things like 'go to the gym' and 'eat less chocolate'? I find this is more rewarding than setting resolutions like that.
Anyway, I hope 2013 is a great year for you all.
Laura.
