On January 1st or 2nd I created a New Year’s Resolution list of 19 things I wanted to do this year. I chose 19 because I turned 20 this year. It wasn’t necessarily that I would complete all these things by the time I turned 20, but mostly so I could improve the person I am this year.
I really haven’t looked at the list since I created it, but I realized that I have been completing some of the task unbeknownst to me. I am please with the person I am becoming, and am realizing so many things about myself that I couldn’t find out because I had my mind focus on so many other things.
I was inspired by Kara’s “40 Before 20 List” over at ijustmightexplode.com. I become inspired every time I read her posts. She motivates me just to be brave and not let anyone hold you back from pursuing your dreams/aspirations. I love her little wisdom writings like the one of 10 things she would tell freshman Kara, or thing 12 things she learning in 2012, thus far.
Well anyways, let me get to the list. The one I created for my New Year’s Resolution is very vague as you can see on the top, so the new list will be a combination of NYR and before 21 list. I am going to try my best to complete all of them, and if I don’t there is no sense in crying over spilled milk.
The first 15 are the ones from NYR and the rest yeah. The first 4 are things I always put on my list because they cannot be fulfilled in just one year, it is a lifetime
