2013

First and foremost, this post was meant for yesterday. I already sucked at one of my resolutions. I'll get to that in a bit.

So it's a new year. 2013. And I'm so glad for a new year. I want further change. I want things to get better. This will be a fresh start. I had planned on writing more posts for 2012. But then I just realized how fitting "The Last Days" was. It was a great ending to the year. So now for my resolutions. I'll take this from one of my best friends and create 13 resolutions. I actually do like the number 13, and with it being 2013 it is very fitting. So here goes.

1. Write more in my blog. A lot more. Like at least one post per day. And I want them to be diverse, not the usual style that I've been writing. I want different ones. (Again inspired by my friend mentioned above). So like maybe one day it's a poem, another a letter, another a journal entry, a story, and so on. I really want to get creative this year.

2. I don't want to lose myself. For so long I thought of myself as a writer and a reader and then my first semester of college happened and for a while it seemed to slip. I don't want it to. I am a reader and a writer. On top of what ever else I may be.

3. I want to be a better son, brother, grandson, friend and overall person. Whatever this may entitle.

4. I want good grades. I need them. Nuff said.

5. I want to do more school activities and go to more events.

6. Get more Financial Aid, I kinda need it.

7. I want to be happy.

8. I want to make more friends.

9. I will appreciate my family more.

10. I want to do at least one thing risky this year. Something that is not characteristically me.

11. Go see all the movies in the movie theaters that interest me rather than waiting for them to come out on DVD.

12. Finish 50 Shades of Grey that my friend got me... yeaaah. It started out as a joke and me trash talking it for selling more than Harry Potter. And it ended with her buying it as a Christmas present. I want to finish reading it so I can actually criticize it and know what I'm talking about. We'll see how that goes.

13. If ever throughout this whole new year something happens and it has me fall down, I want and will get back up. Life won't bring me down!

And there you have it. Oh and #1 also entitles writing more in general.

This year was the first year I actually didn't even make it to midnight. I fell asleep at 11:30. Was I mad at myself? Yes. Especially since I woke up at 12:30! Half an hour too late! Shake my head at myself.

2013. I'm excited to see what it will bring. Bring it on!
