We are almost 4 months into the year of 2018 and I have not stuck with my New Years resolutions as well as I should have! I promised myself that I would get a new bangin' skincare routine, exercise 4 days a week, and make straight A's this semester. Even though I am having a rough time committing to those listed items, I want to commit to a few more things before this year goes by in a flash.
1. Study. Like ACTUALLY study.
I am so bad at cramming information in my head the night before a quiz or exam. I want to be able to commit to 15 mins of studying, days leading up to the night before.
2. Use my planner more.
I am really bad about writing EVERYTHING in my planner for maybe two weeks, and then I forget and just wing it, then the following week my whole routine is off kilter. I should really stop doing that.
3. Go to bed at a decent time. Regularly.
I know college kids are supposed to be exhausted all of the time (it's in the description, look if you don't believe me) but I think to go to bed at a decent time every night would be helpful. Now if I could only stop binge-watching Scandal.
4. Wash my face at night.
Something I'm even worse at. I am so good at washing my face in the morning but when it comes to laying in bed at midnight and realizing I didn't wash my makeup off, I just turn over and go to sleep.
5. Finish the Netflix shows I start watching.
If you were to look at my list on Netflix, you would be shocked at how many shows I started to binge and found another show in the middle of it. I am currently finishing Scandal and found it halfway through watching How to Get Away With Murder.
6. Become an awesome self-taught yogi.
If I did all of the yoga moves I pinned on Pinterest I would be teaching my own yoga classes.
7. Wake up before 10 in the morning.
This part goes hand in hand with #3.
8. Eat better.
I really wish I can crave vegetables the same way that I crave Chinese food and sushi.
9. Have better self-control when it comes to chips and queso.
This one speaks for itself. This is my meal when it comes to Mexican restaurants and I can never finish my cheese quesadillas.
10. Stretch every morning.
I used to be really flexible and I miss it. I think stretching before I start my day might improve my mood and allow me to meditate some.
11. Unplug sometimes.
I can be really bad about being on my phone, even during class. I want to be able to have a morning where I don't touch it or a night where I read a book before bed instead of Twitter.
12. Stop being my worst critic.
This is my worst quality I think. I don't take the time to be patient with myself when it comes to school or my life.
13. Putting my friends higher on my priority list.
This is my second worst quality. I know my life is busy but I should make more time for my friends. Everyone needs friends!
14. Loving myself more.
Here is the big one! I love to not love myself and it is a really bad habit I need to quit.
Whatever your resolutions are and your status is with sticking with them, keep going! If we have some resolutions in common, thank the Lord for I am not crazy! All in all, make 2018 your best year yet, whatever you decide to accomplish.
