My 5 Goals For 2018

It's the New Year, but this isn't necessarily my New Years Resolution list.

My 5 Goals For 2018

I’m turning 25 this year. TWENTY FIVE. When did that happen?

I don’t think I’ve ever made a new years resolution list before because I think we should be able to change something about ourselves at any point in our lives or the year. However, this year I do have goals, and I've heard that writing your goals down and help you realize them. Here's my list, and I'm hoping that this time next year I can look back and say that I have improved on all these things and bettered myself.

1. Take better care of my skin.

I've always taken pretty good care of my skin, but this year I want to step it up a notch. I want to never sleep in my makeup and always wash my face before bed, not just use a makeup wipe.

2. Self-reflect in my journal weekly.

No one's perfect, and I have a lot of things about myself that I think could use some improvement. I think self-reflecting weekly about my emotions could help me become more aware of my insecurities, help me become more aware of how others perceive me, and help me mature emotionally.

3. Eat healthier.

I’m definitely a chocoholic, but over the past year I’ve been eating less junk food and I have definitely noticed a difference in not only my energy level but my weight. After college, I gained about 20-25 pounds, and over the past year, I've started to be more aware of what I put into my body and have started to be more active again. Being healthier and treating my body better is something I want to continue working on in 2018.

4. Rediscover my passions.

I want to read more, write more, and paint more.

I love painting, but through all the craziness of college and just life itself, I lost my passion for it. It’s probably one of the passions I want to find in myself again this year.

5. Relax more, breathe more, and love more.










Me time is something everyone needs, and is, personally, something I forget I need sometimes.

My mom and I also started doing yoga in 2017, and that is something I’d like to continue in 2018. Yoga helps me so much with my stress and makes me take a minute and just breathe and focus on nothing but my breathing. It is one of the most relaxing things for me.

With so much hatred in the world, it is always one of my goals to be nice to everyone I meet, and I always try to give as much love as I can to those I care about.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
