goals for 2015

I have nothing really 'beauty' or 'fashion' related to talk about today so I thought that I would list out my goals for 2015 (like I said I would in my review of my 2014 'bucket list' which you can read here) and I saw Becca Rose list 15 of her goals so I thought why not do the same and give myself realistic and achievable goals for this coming year. This was supposed to be 15 goals but honestly I couldn't think of that many and just decided to stick to however many I could think of!

Now I am not one for sticking to resolution's, in fact I hate making them but I thought this year I would call them more 'goals' which don't have to be kept to completely and don't have to be done just for a year to then go and make a set of new ones. As far as I see it, why wait until the new year to start improving on your life and doing what you want to do? You have the power to start changing your life as soon as you want to!

1. My first goal would be to finally figure out what I want to do in life. For a while I have been debating on whether I really want to go to university and study or if I just want to work and blog. I would love to study law and criminology but at the same time I am still unsure.
2. Be more social. Now this is a 'goal' pretty much every year, and every year I seem to struggle. I have my close group of friends who I love to death but I really need to go out more and be more social with other people. I'm only 18 years old and right now at 19:04 I am currently in bed, fresh out the shower instead of out with friends having fun. Oops.
3. To finally be able to drive! I have had loads of chances to start learning how to drive but instead I choose to waste my money on another set of black jeans and a lipstick that I don't really need! I have already started working towards this goal and have my third lesson coming up this week! I'm so excited.
4. Start travelling more. I love where I live to be honest but I want and need to get out and visit more places in my country and in others. The world is so big so why should I waste my time not exploring it? (A fear of flying is a big reason why!)
5. Be more active! I am a very lazy person and I love nothing more than a lazy day with netflix and my pj's on, but this year I am determined to get out of this habit and to spend more time exercising and toning up my body instead of crying over pictures of Khloe Kardashian's body into my KFC box meal.
6. Be more confident with myself is another thing I have wanted to become (?) for a while. I see girls on twitter and tumblr posting about how happy they are with their looks and body and I just really want to look at myself more positively instead of pointing out all my flaws and imperfections.
7. Maybe starting up a YouTube. This is something I have wanted to do for a while but due to shyness I have always put it off. I would really love to try within the next year to start making videos and to be more outgoing. I think for now I shall stick to blogging until my confidence builds up enough to make one!

I really hope I can achieve these goals and feel happy with them all by the time 2016 comes around. Leave a comment below telling me what your goals are or if you've done a post similar to this leave the link and I shall give it a read as I love reading other peoples goals and being nosy!

review of my 2014 bucket list & new goals for 2015!

So for my first blog post of the new year (and my first one in a while due to lack of motivation and constantly working) I thought I would review the bucket list/goals that I set for myself this time last year and see what I achieved and what I didn't. I thought this would be a good idea to make myself feel a little bit more positive about things that I achieved within the year and set more goals for myself this year.

My bucket list/goals post from last year can be found here.

First of all on my list was to be a more positive person, I really did try and do this within the past year, I think I achieved in some aspects like my attitude towards life and other people but not really towards myself which is really something I would love to work on this year.

I did not join the gym at all, if anything I actually gained a lot more weight than what I wanted to. But I am joining the gym within the week with my friend and have purchased all the clothes to get me motivated to start sometime soon!

Next was to go to Paris with my boyfriend, this didn't happen last year but we did end up going on holiday to Turkey which was lovely and I enjoyed it so much!

The fourth one on my list was the only one so far that I did actually achieve, and that was to pass college with all distinctions! If you're currently in college and reading this I promise you all the hard work pays off in the end and you will be so thankful, trust me I am!

I didn't end up going to University last year, I decided to take a year out to focus on myself and other aspects in my life and intend on going this year, I am sending off my application this week and I am so nervous again!

Number 5 was to travel to Australia for Christmas, but unfortunately my work situation would not let me have a whole month in December off, but hopefully I will get out there sometime soon and see my family!

I'll tie 6 & 7 in together, I tried to be more social but I really struggle with meeting new people. I would say that I have stayed in touch with most of my friends from college, and I do go out a lot with my friends from work, so in some ways I achieved this, but in some ways I didn't.

Plucking up the courage to start a youtube channel is something I will need a little bit more time to work on. I need to stop worrying and go for it!

I guess I did explore the world a little bit more as I did head to Turkey, it was so nice to see how other countries live and go about their everyday lives and to see different cultures. I would love to see more of the world this year but I do need to get over my fear of flying as I cried pretty much the whole way to Turkey and back!

10 was to hit 4k followers on twitter (I don't quite know why that was a goal but oh well!) and I did!

Getting over phobias is not something I think I will ever achieve, I am scared of a lot of things and it will take a lot more than a year to get over most of them, if I ever could at all.

If anything I spent more money last year than any year at all, I got myself a new job where I got paid more so to me that meant more spending and not saving up for important things like a car and more driving lessons! Oops!

Blogging 5 times a week clearly did not happen and I'm really sorry. I got so lost with working and college and trying to be more social I completely lost touch with my blog and I would love to work on that this year and start posting more!

Due number 13 failing I didn't end up achieving number 14 but again I really wish to this year!

I will post my 'goals for 2015' within the next few days once I have really thought about everything that I want to achieve!

Let me know in the comments your goals for this year? I would love to read them all!
