2015 dreaming

I don't know when making New Year's Resolutions became a thing to make fun of, because honestly, I like them. The possibility for positive change is exciting. Who doesn't want to become a better person?

This year I'll be 24. That's one year away from 25, which is what I believe to be the true, bonafide age of adulthood. In anticipation for that, I need to get my s**t together. 

These resolutions (fingers crossed) will get me closer to that goal. Cheers 2015! 

                          2015 Resolutions, Goals & Dreams                          

career | graduate college  

Once I graduate this year, I feel like the world will open up to me. Maybe it's naive with all the poor job market talk, but I feel like my career is out there waiting for me.

health | regular check ups  

I am making it my goal to set up regular doctor's appointments, and not just go if something seems wrong. Our health shouldn't be taken for granted. 

health | better diet 

In 2014 I made it a goal to cook more and eat out less, and I did it. This year, I want to cook with more fresh and nutrient rich ingredients. 

 life | exercise classes 

Hands down, I feel better when I moving. I've taken a few Zumba classes, but not regularly. This year I want to try a cultural dance class, a yoga class or a burlesque dance class. Maybe all three!

life | move to cali 

I've always been open to moving after college, I just always thought it'd be back to New York. After visiting L.A., I can see a chapter of my life being there. 

travel | cruise & New Orleans 

Oh, to be out at sea, getting my tan on, sipping a mai tai with friends. As you can see, I'm ready for a cruise. I've also wanted to visit New Orleans for as long as I can remember. It's so rich with history, and let's not get started on the food.

life | general goals

These are some that I have every year: read & write more, have better time management, explore Atlanta with my friends, spend less & save more. 

_______

Overall, I really just want to see growth within myself. I don't want my life to be a passing of days. I want to have something to show for every day, month and year I'm out here in the world. I mean, if I'm going to have get older, I might as well be getting better, right?
