Goals for 2010 & beyond

Not complete, just some thoughts..

1. Get back to a regular exercise regimen. I used to go to the gym 5 times a week.. Until I went to Paris. When I came back it was hard for me to get back into it. I know new year's resolutions are just an excuse for people to make change, but unfortunately I need this excuse for this particular goal. Hahaa.
2. Take more pictures! It's my last semester of undergraduate school and I need to step my picture-taking game up up up. I used to take A LOT more than I do now, so I really gotta get on it again! Trips around campus with my camera seem like a good idea..
3. Blog more (& journal more). Both are good ways for me to document important events and feelings that shouldn't be forgotten. Seriously.
4. Cook more. Two reasons for this.. Firstly, I need to get back into some healthier eating habits. It's hard that I'm a picky eater sometimes, so by cooking more I could incorporate vegetables and proteins into my meals when I need to. Secondly, by cooking more I would spend less money eating out. This (& alcohol.. haha) is where all my money goes ):
5. Make a "life" plan and stick to it. I have to make sure that I stay on schedule for getting things done that need to be done. I also have to make sure that I secure a new job or internship to help me get there.
6. Be at my best at all times. I have to say this, because sometimes I very easily let the little things affect my mood. I need to stop doing this. My life is way too amazing to be sad about ANYTHING (although sometimes it's unavoidable). I just have to keep my head up and smile through everything, remember that I have the best family, best friends, and best boyfriend who just need me to meet them halfway.
7. More human interaction. I'm the type of person who will easily hide behind a text or a comment rather than picking up the phone and calling or meeting up with someone to catch up. I don't know why I'm like this.. I've always been a pretty isolationist person so I should be trying to work to change this and myself for the better.
8. Be on time! Class, work, rehearsal.. Being late is not classy.
9. Work toward being more independent. This is more of a mental/emotional thing.. I'm pretty independent in the way I live my life but when it comes down to making sure I'm okay, I can't keep depending on other people to stabilize me (although I am extremely grateful for those who do!).
10. Less alcohol consumption. I honestly don't even drink a lot, it's just eating away at my wallet. Also, I really got caught up in the 21-year-old lifestyle, so hopefully this will be manageable now that I'm no longer 21!

Hmm. I couldn't think of anything else at the moment but will continue to add to this as necessary. I guess they're not so much goals for just this year but LIFE goals. All right, I'm tired and I'm going to try to get one more star in Super Mario for DS. Haha.

Goodnight!
