Resolute Resolutions

Happy New Year's Eve, ladies and gentlemen! 2014 is blank slate, an empty canvas waiting for you to splatter it with color. A new year brings a fresh start, and the possibilities for change are yours for the taking! I urge you all to take some time today to reflect on 2013, and think about how you can make 2014 the best year yet. Think about any resolutions you would like to make, any loose ends you want to tie up, or any relationships you want to mend, and start taking care of them so 2014 is truly a peaceful, fresh start.

Here are some of my resolutions for 2014: 

~Read more books

~Remove toxic individuals from my life. 

This past year, I've learned a lot about removing myself from people who do not make me feel good. Sometimes that means cleaning out your Facebook friends list, and sometimes that means moving out of your dorm room to where you can be happy and flourish. Is it easy? Definitely not! But, sometimes, people aren't worth the stress and the tears, and you have to learn to let them go. 

~Give out more compliments to friends and strangers alike

~ Stop worrying about grades so much

A test score does not define me, but personal character does.

~ Spend less, save more, give more

~ Learn a new skill

I've always wanted to learn how to embroider by hand, so why not?!

Have a wonderful New Year, everyone! Stay safe!
