2016

Happy New Year!!! It's 2016 and life couldn't feel more like itself. Literally nothing has changed. But it's great to have a fresh new start so I appreciate the sentiment. Unlike most years I've decided to give in to the whole 'New Years Resolution' stuff since there's some stuff I want to do/get better at and what better way to exercise that then by starting to do it in the new year! So here's a little list of my new years resolutions

1) TAKE MORE PICTURES- whether this is a selfie, pictures of my outfits, my meals, the scenery, a cute dog/cat that i see etc. depends on the day and my mood and what fits right but im hoping to take at least one picture a day. I'm very bad at documenting stuff and it'd be nice to have a visual memory of my time in 2016.

2) MAKE MORE JOURNAL POSTS- I bought my first ever proper journal in July of this year and while it started out rocky and I didn't even use it for like a whole month out of fear of ruining it, I've started to get into the swing of doing a page every day or every couple days but I would still forget at times and go over 10 days without even making a tiny journal entry. Since buying it I have done exactly 50 pages of it which is great but hoping to complete so many more. I have yet to do a page a day for a whole month so hoping that happens at some point in 2016.

3) SPEND MORE TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS- As a hardcore introvert who is also incredibly anxious when it comes to communicating with people this one might be quite tough but on the whole I've noticed I don't allow myself to have as many plans with friends as I could or even at times when I could spend time with my family I just close myself off. Obviously as an introvert I do need alone time but I think it's time for me to socialise a little more. I mean looking back on 2015 the days that are most memorable to me are those where I went outside and spent time with my friends or the days my friends came over but can't really tell you a specific memory from me sitting at my laptop scrolling through tumblr

4) STUDY HARDER- I will admit I procrastinate quite a lot and whilst I do eventually study, the journey to get to studying is long and tedious. It's always the same every year, I do a lot of revision and studying at the start of the year but by Christmas I'm slacking (this is in reference to school year btw) so this year I'm hoping to me on top of my work right from the start.

and last but not least

5) ENJOY IT-  I complain a lot, which is evident from my blog title, which means that I tend to be quite pessimistic and just generally a pain to be around. I need to learn to let little things go (which I probably won't let's be real) and to overall enjoy my time on the earth.

So there you have it. Haven't really started any of these yet (though it's not even an hour into 2016 so that's fine) and hopefully I won't break them any time soon.
