New Years Resolutions for 2011

Oh lord. I just saw my New Years Resolutions for 2010 and suffice it to say, I may or may not have kept up with any of them. So here’s another go at them. And hopefully with my 24 years comes some sort of wisdom :)

1. Be (more) open to trying new things (whether it comes to school-related activities, restaurants, visiting a new city, etc)

2. Keep up the hard work with school

3. Invest and divest wisely

4. Be more up front with my feelings

5. Prioritize!

Here’s to a great 2011! 2010 was good to me so I’m hoping the goodness will carry on :)

I wish things weren’t like this.

But on the plus side, it doesn’t suck as much as it did before.
