New Year, New Adventures!

So far, the New Year has been filled with some exciting adventures. At the moment, I'm in Canada. This is my first time both in Canada and out of the country. I leave in a few days, but I've enjoyed these three weeks. Once I leave, I get a brief 2 day stay at home, then off to school. This year, the new year, I'm focusing on me. I don't mean this in a selfish, "everything's about me" way. More like, I'm working/focusing on continually becoming a better me. I've got it, kinda planned out but...not really. I know what I want and I have no idea how I'm gonna achieve a lot of it, but that's were the adventures come in. Not focused on boys, clothes, negativity, people, etc. I'm focused on doing what I want and what makes me happy. I'm not sure what the point of this post is. All I know is, I'm at a coffee shop in Canada and I'm making it look like I'm actually doing something with my life...which, I guess I am. I probably, also feel bad about how little I post. Maybe this year I'll try to at least make monthly updates. If I can't do anything else.

Not so much resolutions.

Since the new year is coming, many people are making their resolutions. I don't really like to make resolutions. There are things that I will always continuously need to work on and I'm going to work on that from now until the day I die. Therefore, I don't confine things changes to one year (a bit hipsteresque, i know). Despite my lack off resolutions, there are a few things I want to especially focus on. For one,
I want to lose at last 30 pounds before the summer. I had began working out last year but, I've hit a plateau  I lost a relatively nice amount of weight. However, I haven't worked out in over a month and probably won't have a chance to until February. Therefore, I'm gonna have to work twice as hard to lose the initial weight plus any weight I've gained. I'm gonna have to put a greater focus on eating better and working out more. By eating better I mean actually eating instead of skipping meals because they're terrible. An even bigger focus is maintaining my GPA and grades. I know there are certain areas I need to work on academically and my goal is to improve in these areas to the best of my ability. (I also need to take my SAT which I'm not necessarily looking forward to). As for relationships, there is minimal focus on this area. If I meet someone, that's awesome. If I don't, even more awesome. This year, I've had very few "relationships" and they've ended on pretty jank notes. Therefore, the mature members of the male species will just have to search me out. I will NOT be searching for them. My greatest goal is just to continue to better myself mentally and emotionally. I've made great strides since forever ago but there are still things I want to adjust about myself. Thankfully, I have an open-mind so I continue to remain open to new ways to improve myself. Ultimately  this year is going to be what I make it. Alongside my friends, I plan on making this year excellent.
