I hardly ever make New Years resolutions, but this year, I really should. I don’t want to waste another year like I did last year. 2003 was too depressing, I don’t want it to happen again. Here’s my list to make things better (not in order of importance, more in the order of which comes into my head first):
1. Be more organized. This includes with school work, ech, for such a neat freakish person, my backpack is quite a mess! It also applies to other situations that I otherwise might not be able to handle. Like: if there is something that grosses me out, I should be ready for it (bring hand sanitizer and moisturizing cream to school).
2. Be more prepared, this goes along with the organization.
3. Read more. I used to read a lot. Now I don’t. I need to be more disciplined, I can’t keep taking two months to finish a book! I must start a reading log!
4. Be more assertive, without really changing my personality, tough one, but I’ll try. Being unassertive is what has gotten me into messes in the past, I should really work on that.
5. Buy lots and lots of comfortable clothing. I need to buy more clothing. I used to be really into shopping for clothing. Comfy clothes=more comfortable=better self esteem=not worrying about what people think of you=able to focus on more important things=more relaxed=and lots more stuff.
6. Get out more! I am not being all “I’m such a dork because all I do is make my website!”. Not at all. I like making my website, it’s just that it seems that time really flies when I do that. If I do more things instead of sitting around, it seems like I’ve done more. I don’t want to be like 99 years old and realize I’ve just sat in front of the computer most of my life! I need to do more!…. Like maybe going out to see a movie.
7. See more movies while they are in theaters. I used to see lots of movies in theaters, but lately, I’ve just been watching them on dvd. I do like them on dvd more, it’s more relaxed and less overwhelming, but it does seem less like doing something. If I go out to see a movie, it seems like I’ve actually done something.
8. Stay away from sad people. Even though I know many sad people and I really do like them as friends, they tend to really suck the happiness right out of you! I blame some of this for some of my sadness over the past year! Sad people are draining! It’s a wonder that psychiatrists aren’t addicted to anti-depressants! I wonder if they are!
9. Stop talking about making some sort of business and do it!
10. Be happier!
