Plans for 2016!

2016 is just round the corner and there is no better day than today to spend writing blog posts and new years resolutions, 2016 is gonna be an exciting year for me. I have two trips planned (one extremely soon eek) , I turn 18, finish college and start uni. I'll be moving out , having my own independence. This year could go horribly wrong... But to start every year you have to have new year resolutions that you will forget about by Feb. What else are you going to do in January if you don't.

This year I plan to:

Travel more: I already have trips booked to Rome and Spain this year, but I want to see more of the world and do more exciting things! I would like to go to Greece in July for my birthday to go to Kefalonia and see the caves and the beaches! But also I want to go to Australia. I have family over there and I have been thinking about it for awhile. I don't know if I'll make it over there this year, but if I can't go this summer I want to have booked a holiday there for next summer by the time this year is over. I think Josh and his dad want to go to Dublin to see where is granddad grew up, so maybe Ireland is on the cards as well.

Get drunk: I'm going to uni in September (hopefully) and I don't necessarily want to get drunk, but I want to make the most of fresher's week and wherever I end up going, I want to make sure I socialize as much as possible (alongside lot's of studying obviously).

Save: For holidays, and for a car. I should pass my driving test in 2016, if I don't I probably ner will. There are so many things I will need to save for (I'm thinking uni as well) I don't think I'm going to save for a specific thing, I might just put away half of my wages and see where that gets me a few months into the year.

Enjoy my 18th: I turn 18 finally in July and I cannot wait, I want to do something special which I haven't decided yet but I want it to be big!

Happy New Year lovelies! Let me know what your resolutions are for 2016 in the comments.

2014: The year of growth.

New year resolutions aren't usually my thing but I figured that there's a lot in store for me this year and a few goals won't do anything but help, to make sure I keep to these goals I'm thinking of doing update posts every month or two.

SAVE
Christmas has bought me to the realisation that I do not handle money well, I spend it quicker than I get it and I just can't resist. To help me save I want to start up a bank account since the only one I have is a savings account in my mom's name and since I'm turning sixteen this year I should get a job while I'm at it!

GET INVOLVED
Sometimes I isolate myself, I just feel a lot safer that way. This year though I want to step out of my comfort zone and get involved with people I wouldn't usually and in activities I wouldn't usually involve myself in, no excuses. This is mainly because I'm leaving school this year and while I do go to social 'events' a lot come summer there will be a ton more some including people I'm maybe not familiar with.

STUDY
This is a big one for me, because I never really have to study for tests a habit of mine has been not studying. In 2013 my interest and attention in school started slipping dramatically and a week before a big mock, I had to cram cram cram just to scrape a B. Even with all that effort I felt like it was nothing special, but it certainly was. So for 2014 I plan to pay attention and study. Maybe now I'll get straight As!

DO CHORES
Now, just in case my mom stumbles upon this. I'm not gonna turn into Cinderella pre ball, but I do want to help out a little more, not long until I have to do these things for myself, I may as well do some washing once a week.

ATTEND
I used to obsess over going to school, 100% attendance was a must but recently (now I'm praying my mom doesn't find this) I've been pulling sickys and my desire to be at school is just non existent and how's that going to look on my sixth form application? Not just school, recently I've been skipping dance class more than I should. Unless I'm ill, that needs to stop as well.

SLEEP
I feel like the reason why I don't pay attention so much in school is because I'm tired, so tired. I know I don't get bored because studying is never boring (It's not fun either though). I think the easiest way to clock in a few more hours would be the weekends, and maybe set a goal to get to sleep before midnight two times a week, before eleven two times. Also if I stop going to bed at five am then I feel like this would help, a lot.

I realise there's a lot to think about here, but hey, it's only day one of 365.

*cough* or day three.
