Coming into this year, I realized something, I'm the happiest I've ever been. Really, truly, happy. And I can feel the shift that came with this new year; a shift towards even more happy, towards more love and laughter and light. Towards friends and adventure and long-dreamed dreams coming true.
This year, I'm making plans that don't involve school. I'm planning on concerts and dinners and time to write. I'm planning on growing and learning outside of an academic setting, and it's what's best for me right now.
So here are my plans for 2016:
1. Learn to survive - I'm talking in a literal sense; how to make a fire, build a shelter, etc., but also how to be on my own, how to wake up early, to get stuff done, to set deadlines for myself, to explore and create what makes me happiest, to survive.
2. Simplify my life - I have a pile of clothing waist-deep (I'm not exaggerating) in the corner of my room, three (or more) crates of school supplies and random scraps of paper, and at least four different creative projects going on. I want to be a one-thing-at-a-time kind of girl, an I-don't-need-another-white-t-shirt kind of girl, a slow-and-steady kind of girl.
3. Write 500 words a day - A big one for me is creating routines in the new year, not only so that I'll do that stuff, but also to practice creating a routine itself. Writing is the most important thing to me, and I want to be chipping away daily at it. The number 500 is a little arbitrary, but concrete goals are important.
4. Save $5,000 - I spend, a lot. A lot a lot. It's bad. On garbage. There are things that I want to accomplish, big plans in the works, that I need money for. Again, the number is a little arbitrary, I'd like to save as much as possible, but I need something to shoot for.
5. Get driver's license - A necessary evil. I've been resisting for long enough, and the big plans require that I drive places.
