Catch me if you can

"Happy New Years" "So what's your new years resolution?" Great question. Most people answer, "oh to loose weight" or something unrealistic.
I did not really have a resolution. There are some things I would like to resolve or change in my life but of course that won't happen over the minute we are expected to change it because it's a new year. How many times have we said to loose weight? Yet you never got a gym membership or never went out and actually worked out? Yeah I have. Multiple times, it hasn't happened until now. I say this year I will loose weight yet have never done anything about it. That has changed.
Last semester I kept telling myself how I need to work out and get my life together. News flash, I'm 19. I will not have my life together, no matter how much I try to. I'm learning and I will make mistakes and it will take me forever to eventually get my life together. One thing I can rely on myself for doing is working out and trying to get healthy. Me and two of my friends have been working out everyday at 8.
When I was younger I was really insecure and never wanted to work out because I didn't want people to see me and judge me. Lately I am still this way but at the same time I am also somewhat confident and somewhat don't care. If someone is going to make fun of me they will no matter what I do so I decided to live my life no matter what. You can make a New Years Resolution but don't make one that's unrealistic, make one that makes you shoot for something, to be better, to be confident, to be your true self.
One thing I told myself was I would write more blog posts, that's unrealistic for me considering all the free time I have is either to eat, sleep, or study. Also the sorority has some things going on but not big enough events that I have some cool things to write about. Except this week is informal recruitment so I am actually really excited. Nonetheless I somewhat made an unrealistic resolution or goal for myself because I am hectic busy. I will try to make weekly blog posts but sometimes that's a stretch.
I also said I would draw more and write more and do stuff that helps me at ease when I'm really stressed but lately I have little time to do stuff and the times I do I either study or watch Netflix. I think that everyday you should put some time FOR YOURSELF to do anything. Whether that be drawing, coloring, singing, dancing, or doing whatever it is that makes you glad and calm do it.
Another thing to do is make realistic resolutions. I didn't really make a resolution this year because I knew I wouldn't keep up with it but my mom, friends and I have actually been keeping up with it and I hope it lasts and I hope I start to get healthy.
