2016 Resolutions

So I'm the sort of person who just lets whatever happens, happens. I don't like living with a set of rules because chances are I don't follow them and deadlines give me anxiety. So yeh. But resolutions are different. Because I can forget about them for a whole year before I review my year again and remember all of the resolutions that I've made that I fail/ manage to keep. So, here are my resolutions this year.

♦ study harder because I'm slipping off the Dean's list
Yes my results get progressively worse as the semesters go by but I hope I can still salvage whatever that's left of this semester. Only four more subjects, I can do this! (although advertising class is a fucking bitch because no one has any idea what the fuck is going on) (come on, she taught 17 chapters in two months, half-assedly). I need to graduate first class!

♦ take no shit from no one
This is what I really need to practice after preaching about it to everyone I know. After all that's happened with some of the people I thought I knew very well (but actually I didn't even scratch the surface), it's time to stand up for myself and stop allowing myself to be mistreated by anyone. Period. I deserve better than what they treat me as.

♦ stop slacking
Okay this is a huge one that I absolutely have to stick to. I really need to stop procrastinating. I don't have forever. 

♦ get fitter
I've been pretty consistent with working out, but I still have a long way to go. I need a fit body by the end of this year because every year I make the same resolution but every year it goes unfulfilled.

♦ keep my temper in check 
I need to stop being so emotional and lashing out on people I care about. I don't mean it, but my temper sometimes refuse to reason so I still end up getting sad/ angry and taking it out on people dear to me. It sucks, so this is an aspect of myself that I definitely have to change. I think this is also one of the reasons why some people walked out and never came back.

♦ have a more positive mindset 
I want to stop letting little trivial things from bothering me. Sometimes I get too agitated with unimportant matters and it's an unhealthy obsession. I should learn to take life with a grain of salt (or however the proverb goes). 

♦ learn to say no and do what I want
Well I'm 23 in 24 days so it's about time I exercise some freedom for myself. My first solo trip abroad will be in about 10 days to Saigon, and I honestly can't wait! I need more solo trips like this. Well it's not exactly a solo trip cause I'm meeting someone there but still. Now I know that my spirit animal is actually a free bird, and nothing can stop me. Not even you, mom! 

Here's to a better year ahead. 2015 ended pretty well, so 2016 better be good!
