Top 5 Thoughts of the Day: Resolution Edition

1. I would say read a little bit each day, but that was a resolution a while ago and just didn’t happen (I would be too tired at the end of the day, or I would rationalize that reading an online article counted, but we all knew that I explicitly meant read a part of a book/novel/memoir/something that wasn’t required for school). So, keeping these shortcomings in consideration, my new resolution is: read for fun (a book as stipulated previously) each week

2. Each year, I hope for a boyfriend (not so much a resolution, more of a wish). Now that I have one, my new resolution is: treasure the friendships and relationships I have and make a better effort to keep in touch 

3. Cut out all red meat (no exceptions, my last meal is In-N-Out on January 7th)

4. As cliche as this sounds don’t dwell on the past. Things have changed, people are different, but the present and the future hold amazing and exciting things

5. I’ve been trying really hard to stop judging others and be a more positive person. But overwhelming positivity isn’t always the answer. I’ve finally come to the conclusion that pretending everything is good isn’t a healthy way to view life. Therefore, I’m tweaking this resolution to become: always start by being nice, because starting out mean will never lead to good things

2011 brought

  • A new job (at the Earthquake Center) and some pretty cool geology field trips
  • My first summer in Los Angeles
  • Three completely different living situations (five people in a two bedroom apartment, just me in a one bedroom apartment, and two of us in the same one bedroom apartment)
  • Regal Rita #12 and the most amazing roommate a girl can ask for
  • The Best Music Industry Internship (and tons of free concerts)
  • Awesome new friends and more campus involvement in the form of Concerts Committee
  • An amazing boyfriend

and for all of these amazing things (and even the not so amazing things) I will be forever grateful
