New Years Resolutions

Hey Guys:) So tomorrow is New Years Eve, and we all know that means the next day a tonne of crazy people (including me) will begin their New Years Resolutions, such as fad diets to work off those Christmas pounds; or going to the gym twice a week, the next day. So I have compiled a list of resolutions which I think are a good idea...

1. Swear less:
I don't know about you but my language is foul and I know it, I just can't help it. I swear when I'm angry, happy, sad, etc. literally if something happens I'll probably swear about it. I certainly don't intend to be rude but I guess some people probably do find it offensive even though it isn't meant to be, so I guess this would be a good idea for me!

2. Decide what you want to do with your life:
I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life, and being 17 I guess I need to decide real soon, the trouble is the only things I really like are the internet, shopping and fan-girling. I'm personally hoping for some kind of epiphany and I'll just realize what I want to do, but I suppose for the time being I could do some figuring out of what my options are.

3. Keep jars of positive and negative thoughts to stay happy:
Okay, so I've been doing this for a while and I find it really handy. All you need is two jars, then when you're feeling really good about yourself write down why and put it in your positive jar, and when you're feeling down let your emotions out and write it down and put it in the negative jar, and then re-read all the positive things you wrote about yourself. I don't know why but I find this really helps, as I am the sort of person that spends too much time on their own and then think really negatively and upsets themselves. 

4. Spend less time on the internet:
If you're the sort of person (like me) that can spend like 8 hours a day on the internet then I would probably recommend this one for you, but then again I know how hard it is to not go on the internet, so its probably only for people who are really strong;)

5. Ignore the people who are no good for you:
Do you ever find you feel like there is so much pressure on you from certain people to act a certain way, to wear certain things and to do a lot of things that you don't want to do? Well I think a New Year should mean a new start, and you should just be your own person and ignore the people who make you be someone your not, and I promise you that you will be much happier. (When I say ignore people who make you do things you do not want to do, I DON'T mean your parents, probably best not to ignore them:P)

6. Be more confident:
So this is obviously more easily said than done (trust me I'm one of the shyest people ever), but my friend said something to me recently whilst she was at my house: 'Just fake confidence' and I promise you right there and then in my bedroom I had a mini epiphany. Because why can't you just fake it even if you're not confident? No one will know the difference, and you'll probably get a lot further in life. All my friends have a lot more friends than me and they all have boyfriends and girlfriends, and it's because they have the confidence to actually talk and meet new people, so I think this is definitely going to be my new years resolution.  

7. READ MORE BOOKS!
Okay, this I feel really strongly about. I absolutely love reading, and it really annoys me when people say they don't read books because it's 'boring' or 'uncool'. 1. who cares if its uncool? 2. how is reading boring? You literally go into someone else's life but it's all in your head. What could be better?!

8. Take photos of things you do:
I've recently realized I never remember anything that I do, even important things that I only did a few weeks ago. I think it is a good idea to take photos of good or fun memories so in the future you will always remember the good times, and it is so easy to do that sort of thing now, and even share the photos through Instagram and other apps, I don't see why we shouldn't. 


So there's what I think people should have as their New Year's resolutions, why not share with me what your resolution is? I thought before I signed off I would share with you what I got for Christmas last week:

I got some new brown brogues, 3 cute note pads, a bag from Top Shop, a scarf for Urban Outfitters and some Little Mermaid socks! I also got a mouse onesie which is really soft and snugly, and lots and lots of chocolate! I absolutely love all my presents this year, I'm so lucky<3

Just as a little update, I've currently completed 5 out of the 15 things on my Christmas Bucket List from last time, I better get back to it! That's it for now, until next time, byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:)
