Goals and Aspirations for 2012!


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.

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  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).
  4. 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
