Last year, I had three major goals: Become healthier, become more productive in the morning, and figure out my life after college. Out of those three goals, I feel like I have accomplished the first and the last goal quite well. I have changed my eating habits and have lost my RA weight and have maintained a healthy weight. I fit into clothes better. I feel better about myself. Life after college is covered until August 10th. I have a job at Disneyworld (in case you didn't know). But after that? I have no idea what to do after that! As for the morning productivity goal, I have embraced the fact that I am not a morning person and that I am most productive at night. For 2012, I have set new goals.
- Get my finances straight. While I was in college, I thought to myself "I don't need to worry about this right now! I'll worry about it when I am done with college and have a Big Girl job!" Well, I am done with college and have a job. Guys, college made me straight up poor. I have $10 to my name right now. This year, I plan on paying down some of the debt I accumulated over the past 5 and a half years and find new ways to be thrifty. I am going to embrace my inner Recessionista (Depressionista???) and get my finances under control!
- Write more for fun. My writing has been on a hiatus for a long time. Last semester was difficult for me to keep up with my thoughts and do my classwork. I have a lot that I want to write about, but just did not have the time to write about it (or felt guilty about writing when I knew I had other things to accomplish). I aim to write in this blog at least three times a week. I will continue to do TILTs and I would like to do a weekly Disney update once I arrive in Florida. I will revive Art Mondays to continue practicing the knowledge I've obtained during college. Maybe I will do book reviews Which brings me to goal #3.
- Read for fun! I enjoy reading. I am fairly bookish, so this goal won't be too difficult now that I don't have text books to read anymore. Currently, I am reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami. Next on my list is A Thing of Beauty by Steve Martin (Yes, that Steve Martin).
- Figure out what to do after my internship with Disney ends. I know that I want to move back to California, but I don't know what to do after that. Graduate school? Continue working for Disney? Attend Culinary School? Utilize my degree in Art History by becoming a "Genius Waitress"? Truth be told, I do not know what I want to be when I grow up. I just want to be happy, but that occupation does not pay the bills.
Miscellaneous Aspirtations:
- Continue surrounding myself with wonderful, positive people.
- Continue staying positive and happy.
- Become Ariel at Disneyworld. Or Mary Poppins. I'm not picky! (Maybe not realistic, but I can still dream!)
- Make a lot of new friends at Disneyworld!
- Go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
- Save up enough money to afford a Nook Color
- Experience as many new experiences as possible! I want to do everything!
- Learn to appreciate Classical Music (sounds familiar?)
- Learn and understand Philosophy
