Hello, hello, hello! First of all: HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I hope 2014 has been good to you all so far, mine has been pretty packed with uni work (hence the lateness of this post). As it's the start of a new year, I decided to make some resolutions which I'm actually going to keep to for a change so I thought I might share them with you all!
1. Look after myself more.
Ok, so this one covers a few things. Firstly, my skincare routine went to pieces towards the end of 2013 so this is one of the things I'm going to make sure I focus on this year. Secondly, I really need to start eating more healthy! Having so many coffee shops on the doorstep at uni has become far too much of a temptation so I'm limiting myself to one treat day each week (I'm thinking a Friday) as long as I eat well for the rest of the week. I'm also joining the gym at uni and I'm strangely excited for it (this may be because I treated myself to some New Balance trainers and a Jack Wills gym bag but shhhh)!
2. Get back into music.
When I was younger, I was really into music and played violin and keyboard for ages, so a few weeks ago I got bored and decided to mess about with my old keyboard and realised how much I missed playing. I might also eventually get round to teaching myself guitar like I promised myself 3 years ago!
3. Be more organised.
This is definitely a uni based one- admittedly I'm pretty organised when it comes to other things because it stresses me out if things aren't sorted, but my notes for the three modules I've been doing are all over the shop sadly. However, for my next three modules I'm going to make sure all my notes are written up as soon as the lecture is over and filed asap!
4. Read more.
I always used to have my head in book so reading was one of the things I massively missed when doing my exams, so I've made it my goal to read 100 books this year! I might keep a little record of them in a notebook or something and make a little project out of it...
5. Donate to charity more often.
Before Christmas, I donated £20 to WaterAid in support of this little project run by two of the lovely guys in the West End production of Les Miserables. Knowing I had donated some of my own cash to a great cause felt so rewarding, so I decided that 2014 is going to be the year that I'm more charitable- I'm even thinking of running the Great North Run!
These are only a few of my resolutions, there's a few bits and pieces which are more rules for me to start living by but these are the main ones. Do you guys have any resolutions?
