Resolution Time: Part II
I refer you to my first resolution entry, Resolution Time! from the beginning of 2009. Since I haven’t blogged in two months (or something like that, whatever), I decided the 2010 was a brilliant time to brush off the ol’ blog and have at it again! So, my resolutions in review:
1. Work to being the confident individual that exists somewhere within me
Did this happen? Yes and no. I do think that I’ve become more comfortable with myself, but I don’t think I have gotten myself to the point where I am completely happy and disregard what people could possibly think of me. I’ve come far in the fact that I find myself to be a loving, beautiful and creative individual, but I definitely still feel “flawed” in some aspects.
2. Become healthier
This was better at the beginning of the year. Honestly, I was fairly healthy initially! I went to the gym, cut back on my soda intake, drank tons more water and opted for healthier foods and snacks. Then, I came home and in my house full of avid soda drinkers, I fell off the bandwagon. And then, when I went back to school, I started drinking more healthy beverages, but maintained my soda intake and absolutely bottomed out on the types of food I was eating. Also, I hurt my knee this summer, which hindered my ability to exercise. So, while I’ve maintained my shape, it’s a little wigglier than I like.
3. Keep a regular journal
Oh, failed on all counts. Let’s not even discuss it.
4. Finally get that 4.0 semester GPA
I did it! TWICE!!
So, I didn’t do as well as I hoped to do with my resolutions, but I like turning over a new leaf as the begins its next revolution about the earth. So, for 2010…
- Keep up the 4.0 semesters
- Graduate in December
- Heal my knee injury and get into better shape by going to the gym at least three times a week
- Eat healthier, cut back on sodas, increase my water intake
- Blog or write in a journal at least once a week
- Broaden my musical horizons by listening to artists I hear anybody talking about
- Read fifty books… And review them here!
- Make it to 2011!
So? What are your new year resolutions?

Ooh mucho congrats on the 4.0 GPA!!! :D I like the resolution about listening to artists you hear people talking about, I probably should add that to my list as well because I am too often asking “who’s that” whenever people discuss music.
Happy new year, Stephanie! I bet 2011 will be awesome for you. :D <3
Wow a 4.0 GPA!!!? Thats great! I just finished my first semester at college and I have 3.8 Because of 2 Bs, 2 A minuses, and 1 A. I hope you keep up your good work at school, cut down on the junk, and get your knee injury to full recovery. My resolutions were pretty basic; get straight As’ for the rest of my semesters in college, lose weight, quit smoking, get healthier, and grow in knowledge base for practically everything I love to do(web and graphic design, playing the guitar, and taking photos). Anyways, good luck to everything, have a good 2010!
Nice work with your GPA! And good luck with your resolutions for the new year. I’m looking forward to the book reviews. =)
My resolution is simple. I want to learn to make white chili. I’ve always wanted to because it’s so tasty. This is the year.
