Every year I compile a list of aims that I want to accomplish during the year, rather than just having one resolution that is soon forgotten about. But first, I thought I would review last year's aims and see how many I managed to complete.
I wanted to get at least a 2.1 for my first year of university and I did do this, I ended up getting a first (amazingly). Other things on last year's list included: making the most of time I have with my family and friends from home, and to also stay in touch with them. Although time can fly past at uni and things can get busy around deadline time, I did make a conscious effort to ring/text/message family members and friends, as well as arranging to see people when I was home. So I think I can tick those off. The last one I did complete was to travel somewhere I hadn't been before. In the summer I visited a small town in Cornwall called Mousehole and it has since become one of my favourite places alongside St Ives.
'Drive on the motorway' and 'Post at least twice a month on my blog' weren't entirely successful, but I will be adding these again to this year's list. So without any more rambling, here's my list for 2015:
- Be more confident
- Try not to let opportunities pass me by
- Drive on the motorway
- Post at least twice a month on my blog
- Achieve a 2.1 or higher for my second year of university
- Say what I think and feel and stop being overly cautious
- Road trip / Travel somewhere with friends
- Stay in touch with my family & friends
- Get work experience at a publishing company
I may add to this list throughout the year if I think of other things.
Best of luck to any of you who have got aims or resolutions for the coming year.
Laura.
