I feel with the turn of 2015 I should talk about my new year's resolutions. As big of a year as 2014 was, I feel like this will be even bigger. I'll be graduating for one, turning 21 for two. So I thought instead of talking about the past year, I'll talk about what I have planned for 2015 and how I seek to improve myself.
- Graduating uni with a 2:1 and finding a job
- SAVING SAVING SAVING MONEY
- With that comes learning to drive - my dad's really been pushing me to at least do my theory for a couple of years now and I think with the end of school, it'll be the perfect time to dedicate myself to driving
- Toning up - I've had really bad back pains the past few months so the least I need to be doing is pilates. But I also wanna hit the gym just to tone up and feel better about myself. I used to have very severe body image issues but having lost a lot of weight, that mostly passed, but I still have some days where I just wish I looked different and I feel like if I toned myself up, stopped being so lazy, the amount of times I get those days will decrease
- That brings me to eating healthy - you guys know I'm vegan but I'm literally the most unhealthy vegan you'll come across. I live off of white rice, potatoes, veggie alternatives e.g. sausages/burgers and biscuits. I really hate vegetables but I feel like I need to teach myself to like them, just because I know I'll be feeling way better physically and I really wanna see the effect it has on my skin.
- SKIN - now, my skin is pretty okay (mA mA) but I'm still prone to breakouts and I think these could really be eradicated if I buckled up and ate decent food - less eating out and more learning how to cook for myself. Also, skincare routine. I don't believe in putting a dozen products on my face but I really want to find a good moisturiser/oil and face scrub as these are the two main products I use on my face.
- LEARN HOW TO COOK - I'm the only vegan in my family and I'm a terrible cook, which means my mum makes 80% of my meals and understandably she doesn't always have time to cook something separate for me if she makes a meat-centred meal so that's why I really really need to learn to survive by myself and cook, healthy, tasty vegan meals.
- Visit at least one new country. When I go away, it's mostly to relatives' houses or family friends', which means either Russia or Holland. But with the end of uni, I really want to go somewhere new for a week or so in the summer, somewhere with lots and lots of sun and be a proper tourist
- Brushing up on my French - I used to be a massive French enthusiastic and got pretty good grades (I learnt it for 7 years at school) but as everyone knows, once you stop using a language, you start to forget it, which has happened to me with French (and Russian) so that means more French reading, listening and speaking. I also need to brush up on my Russian - Russian is my mother tongue but I do little reading and writing so that's my main focus point - I still have Anna Karenina in Russian dusting up on my bookshelf so I need to pick that up
- READ MORE BOOKS
I hope you guys perhaps got inspired from these resolutions? Anyways let me know what your resolutions are.
