Everyone makes resolutions and many are forgotten after the first month. I hope this won't happen to me and that by showing it to whoever reads my blog, I will have to stick with them. I have 5 basic resolutions that I plan on keeping the whole year.
To ensure that I do stick to my resolutions I set up a reward system. At the end of the year after I check off which resolutions I had done and stuck with I will reward my self with a gift. The size of the gift is dependent on how many resolutions I had completed. If I complete all 5 I will reward myself with a $100 gift. $20 for each resolution. Now here they are.
1.) Do well on my SAT's-The the first time I take them I am wishing to at least get an 1800. The second time I want to break 2000. Not impossible but will take some studying.
2.) Lose weight- I know everyone puts this on their list and it is a bit cliche. But I am about 20lbs over where I should be and I don't want it to be there anymore. So I will work out everyday and eat much much healthier than I have been.
3.) Read more- I used to love reading but with my new found addiction to Tumblr and Netflix, I have had no time to just enjoy reading. So for this year I plan on reading 10 books for pleasure in addition to what I have to read for school.
4.) Write more- I used to write stories all the time and even won a contest for one that I wrote about fairies( I was in 1st grade). So I plan on writing more stories and I have even gotten on that one yesterday.
5.) Get better grades- Don't get me wrong I have pretty good grades but I always want to do better. So I plan on getting all A's for the rest of the year. This will challenge me because I am a B student in my honors classes right now.
So this is what I am planning on doing this year. What are your New Years Resolutions this year?
