I'm not exactly consistent with my posts or even with checking this blog— at least, I haven't been in the past. However, I'm trying to change that for the new year. (Eeep! It's already 2015!)
2014 was a year of lessons (aren't they all): I learned that communication is a huge foundation for friendships, somethings long time friends of the past stay in the past and that's okay. I learned about 18th century British society and the Congo genocide—thanks lit classes (but some seriously shit). I learned about myself. I learned about others and society and history. I learned that life is full of temporary people. I learned that you shouldn't give a shit about what people think of your interests and hobbies. Do what you love.
For 2015, my list of "to-do's" are slightly different. For starters, I have found a Reading Challenge from pop sugar (I attached the list if you're interested in joining me and the rest of my neighborhood with this challenge) and I'll be updating you with my challenge accomplishments on this website. I tweaked the version of the list to fit my personality better and I went a little crazy in color coordinating my notebook with my list.
And here's my version:
If you have any suggestions or recommendations for me to read for my challenge, let me know! (I basically live for book recs.) (I've already checked on off the list: banned book= The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. It was a great read; dark but oh my gosh the literary techniques are in-cred-ible!)
I don't just want to expand my reading, but for 2015, I want to become a better version of me.
So here's my New Year's Goal list:
- finish the reading challenge
- read at least 90 books
- judge other people and myself less
- run a half marathon
- plan to attend a writing conference
- write more frequently
Thanks for reading!
