Goodbye 2013. Hello 2014!

Better late than never with a post like this! I'm never one to say 'this year is going to be my year' or anything of the sort but (I don't want to jinx it) I do have a good positive feeling about 2014. Last year I didn't achieve all that much in comparison to what I wanted to and having to repeat a year at college is a bit of a kick in the teeth but onwards and upwards! 
In the past year, despite some setbacks, I've felt I've grown a lot as a person and gained a lot more confidence in myself and my abilities. I'm finally coming into my own and loving who I am and generally trying not to care so much about what other people think. I'm doing more stuff for me and not in a selfish way, its just how everyone should be (within reason of course!) but to put your own happiness first. I don't want to be preachy but you are the controller of your own happiness and if you're feeling poopy, go and change it! Toxic people in your life? Get rid of them. Bad habits? Stop them and replace them with good things? Feeling lazy and lethargic? Change your diet and drink more water (I'm not too good at this one) I've totally gone off on a little spiel here but you get my drift, 2013 was the year of me becoming happier by changing little things even if there were a few bumps along the way.
Now onto resolutions/goals I hope to achieve and things to do this year. Some are small, some might not happen but I hope they do because who knows what can happen within a year. These are in no particular order and I'm sure there are lots more I could add but its enough for now:

• Volunteer at dog shelters/rescue centres.
• Get into uni and work my little butt off.
• Save money and travel more.
• Get more piercings.
• Get a tattoo for my dad now I have it finally planned in my head.
• Stop worrying because it gets you absolutely nowhere except into a big ball of anxiety and stress.
• More positive thinking, less negative thinking
• Make more lists, things get done if they're written down into lists, fact.
• Drink more water and take better care of my skin, nails and hair and body in general
• Eat healthier with more fruit and less takeaways and Dominos!
• Take more photos
• Stop biting my nails (gross habit I know) 

Its quite a few but I hope to look back at this post at the end of the year and have the majority of them crossed off. Writing them down here will hopefully force me to follow through with them now that I've put it on the internet, here's hoping! I've also lots of ideas for posts lately so keep your eyes peeled, I really hope to start blogging more in 2014 and posting more than just once or twice a month. 
Let me know what your resolutions/goals are for the coming year if you've made any!
