New Year - New Goals

I've seen a lot of people already asking why do people only start to change at the beginning of the year but I think the reasons why we do it are understandable. You may not realise it but we do actually do a lot of measuring time in years. When you think back to a date you went on holiday or the date of your favourite birthday party you state the year the even occurred. Some years are good for people and some years are bad but that's good because you can look back on a whole year and remember the good things that happened in it because you enjoyed it.

2014 for me wasn't the greatest of years, there was many ups and downs and I didn't really have anything that particularly stood out as amazing for me. It's crazy how every day seems the same as we go through it but one year later everything is different!

So this year I've created a list of goals I want to achieve, I've split it into two different lists; things I want to do more of and things I want to do less of.

More:

Photos - The main reason I use Facebook is just for photos of me and my friends and last year there was barely any.. photo's can capture and allow you to relive memories and I want to do that this year!

Nights Out - The best night's are always the spontaneous ones.

Seeing Friends - With my friends living up and down the country it makes it hard to see them all so when we have the opportunity to meet up I'm not going to let it slide. Friends are the best for taking your mind of the rubbish things going on in life, we all need them so I've made a promise to myself to be a better friend to everybody else.

Travelling - 

New Foods - I am the type of person that if I like a food in a restaurant, when I revisit it, I will order the same food again. I'm not very adventurous with foods and I always ask myself why? There's no harm in tasting something.

Less

Tears - As a child I would cry near enough every day, then I got to a stage where I would never cry. I'm turning back into the child I once was and I don't like it... there's no need to cry over petty things.

Hangovers - I can't handle them anymore. It's always one drink that tips me over the edge and causes me to lose a whole day.

Fast-foods - As a child fast-food was always a treat, it would be very rare that we would get a McDonald's or KFC but now there so easily accessible that I just pop in for an easy option of food.

Phone - There is no need to be looking at my phone 24/7. There's a whole world out there and you never know what you will miss by looking down at your phone when you could be out meeting new people and socialising.

My last and most important goal for the year 2015 is to Learn To Drive. I have been putting off since 2012 now and for no reason what so ever. I need to stop being lazy and get myself booked in to start all my tests!

I always think goals for a new year are a great idea as it gives the year a meaning and something to work towards.. I certainly think that some things on my list many others should also take on board.

Happy New Year Everybody!
