The "New Year, New Me" Syndrome

It's the second day of January, of 2014, on a rainy day. Quite relaxing and peaceful actually. While sitting on my couch looking out of the window straight ahead I see the beautiful outdoors. The sun is kind of trying to peep though all of the dull and gloomy clouds, and today... well it's beautiful.

It's a New Year as I'm sure all of you are aware. Every New Year I make these ridiculous resolutions, and on top of that I make way too many. But last year I tried something a little different, I didn't set any ridiculous goals, I didn't voice them to anyone, I kept them in my head in hopes that keeping reasonable goals to myself would help me attain them a little better.

I was right. Maybe for everyone else voicing goals and getting them out there in the open motivates, but for me I just feel pressure. I do not like pressure, although I tend to procrastinate and work very well under pressure. It's a weird KG thing. Anyways, I'll get to the point. I set goals to workout, read whatever I felt like, no set book amount, and to just improve on myself as a human being. I attained all of those goals in 2013, and I'm quite happy with them.

I just see the same cycle every year. People say I'm going to quit smoking, I'm going to workout everyday, I'm going to loose weight... and so on. And most of the time people don't follow through with these goals they set. Yes they may want it, but if you don't have determination than you might as well wait until you muster some up to even start trying to achieve any of those goals. I learned that working out is HARD. I'm not an athletic person by any means but I was determined and I made it through working out. My point is you can do anything if you are determined.

This year I'll be following the same trend, I'm not going to set ridiculous goals for myself... but reasonable ones. And this time I'll actually share them with you.


1. I'd like to read whatever I want and just enjoy reading.
2. I would like to continue working out and eating healthy.
3. Raise money to either go to BEA or the TVD convention.
4. Go on a summer vacation.
5. Write more this year.
6. Improve on myself as a human being.
