why wait for new years to make changes?
every year, everyone has the typical new years resolutions: lose weight, get good grades, save money, quit smoking blah blah blah. these new years resolutions are also often broke after january ends. i mean, the beginning of january is filled with tons of people at the gym trying to get fit and lose weight, and at school everyone is staying on top of things..for the first two weeks of class, but after that what happens? no one really sticks to their goals and start to break away from those good habits. this past year i decided to make a simple goal and really try to stick to it: grow a backbone and learn to say no. i think i did pretty well to start off with, quit my job because i was getting walked all over and found two new ones. then towards summer i ended up going back to the job i quit (-_____________-) and now i’m back to being a damn pushover. i’m starting to build myself up again to say no to people and talk back to people when it’s needed, but it certainly isn;t how it was when the new year began. now i’m also focusing on good grades. 4.0 shouldn’t be hard if you put the work in to it. i used be such a huge slacker (and i guess i still am) but if i just put a little work into my studies, i could come out with As like nothing. in my previous classes i’ve never really done a lot of studying and come out with Bs. if i did some serious sit downs with a textbook, those Bs could easily be As. that’s what i’m striving for this quarter and so far…i’m failing. i’m falling behind because i am lazy and unmotivated. but i need to prove people wrong and that i am capable of succeeding in these classes. also, my boyf has decided to go on a diet and start working out. i feel like since he’s not that overweight that i should support him because i am at an unhealthy weight. we’ve agreed that we are going to start slow because we’ve been living a very crappy diet for a very long time. cut out the pop and all the sugary drinks and trade them for water and fresh squeezed juices. going out to eat is being cut drastically to one cheat day a week..or a cheat lunch and a cheat dinner. it’s the first week and it sorta sucks already but we’ll see where we get when the new year starts. i’m really excited for everything that’s coming up but i’m going to have to take everything slow to achieve these goals. eeehhh, so i guess one new years resolution turned into two more. let’s see if i can do this!
