It's New Years Eve

I normally don't make new years resolutions.. but i don't think it would hurt to have a few goals placed for myself to work for. after all.. there's not much i work for. period. so let's think. i'm pretty much happy with how i live my life (it seems i'm much more positive than the average person now) and the things i have, i'm lucky and thankful for. so what will it be? grades have never mattered much to me, but i could still push myself harder in school. i don't think that'd be very hard considering i only have two academic classes. so resolution #1: put more effort into schoolwork. let's see how long that holds up. what's next. i'm going to be turning 18 this year, as are most of my friends. as exciting as that sounds (or not), i see more responsibility than freedom. living with my mom, freedom is only through the works of ninja skills (if that makes sense to any of you). i first started feeling responsible when i got my debit card + an allowance. clearly i was being handed more money than i was needed so i began saving (yes! go savings!). so i guess i'm hoping to have a sturdy amount of money in my savings account for.. the future. i can practice spending less money on unneeded things, which i've gotten pretty good at i believe. resolution #2: keep the savings going! third subject. i must say this is the first time (year) in my life where i've had friendship problems that i couldn't do anything about. this has bothered me for a while now, but i've now learned to somewhat cope and take my steps slower as needed. i found a flaw in my character; that is i'm not as aware of my relationships with many of my close friends as i should be. i should never have just one person put before all my other friends, i need to find an equal amount of time to spend with those i love. so i believe this is resolution #3: not boyfriend before friends, not friends before boyfriend. oh speaking of boyfriend, i know there's something i can improve in this area. how are things between us? good. how am i doing? how should i know. i feel much more comfortable around him now than ever before; things are growing together and settling. i won't be bothered by my past anymore. i feel safe. i'm not in the mood to rush into things (.. certain things), as long as we can chill and stay happy, that'd be all i need for now. so the next one would be resolution #4: start anew, keep it simple, happy. i think, for now, those would be all the pinpoints. of course, there's the list of little notes on the side.

#5. keep up the artwork
#6. lose weight
#7. get into a good college

yadayadayada you know the rest.

i hope everyone is or will be having a fun newyearseve. on a scale of one to ten (one - terrible), i'd rate this year and overall eight. yes, i'm a positive person and there's my positive opinion. i really did enjoy this year, through the many good days and some bad. but the bad is gone and the good is a memory and now i'm just waiting for more. thanks to everybody who made this year a good one.


yay! now there's going to be a January under the archive!
