Has anyone kept their New Year's Resolution this far? I normally make small resolutions that will help me improve, but that aren't too hard to keep. One year it was to take better care of my teeth, another it was to not box dye my hair (I went through a different color every other month phase) and last year it was not to buy any new make-up or products until I'd finished the ones I already had. Want to guess how well that worked out? "Oh, but I don't have hot pink lipstick yet!" I'm still working on that.
This year I decided to go a different direction. Inspired by a post at Delightfully Tacky I decided to make a 24 things to do before I'm 24 list. It's perfect because they're all accomplish-able goals and since I turn 24 in six months it gives me a shorter deadline than say, a bucket list.
Here's the list:
1. Write a pitch for a travel book
2. Buy one investment piece I’ll have forever
3. Travel to one place I’ve never been before
4. Fill
five notebooks with writing
5. Dye
my hair
6. Buy
a new camera
7. Be
happy and self-sufficient with my employment
8. Find
a work-out regiment that makes me happy
9. Complete
a full length play and submit it
10. Save
up enough money for a puppy
11. Take
an improv class at Second City
12. Finish
reading the books on my shelves
13. Go
on a trip with Viking Boyfriend
14. Finish
making the dress and skirt I started
15. Complete
one application to Grad School
16. Start
shopping vintage more often
17. Buy
my brother a drink on his 21st birthday
18. Buy
a great format for my blog
19. Get
a credit card
20. Promote
myself without being embarrassed
21. Use
all the old lip glosses in my make-up drawer
22. Shop
my closet and wear all of my clothes. If I don’t, I have to donate it at the
end of the season
23. Donate
money or time to charity
24. Buy
a couch
I'll keep you updated on my progress, but are there any you'd like to join me on?
