1. Learn to drive - I DID IT! I started at the very end of February and I passed at the beginning of September and bought my very first car in October. I'm really proud of myself for this one, thinking about driving the year before last absolutely scared the crap out of me.
2. Get a new tattoo - Well this is one of the ones that didn't happen. In my defence though my ideas of the tattoos I wanted were BIG. And I just didn't have the funds to buy a tattoo. Instead I bought numerous driving lessons, a car, and a super fab holiday.
3. Learn to cook - I feel like I can sort of cross this off my list, I mean I know how to cook a lot more than I did this time last year. And if I moved out I think I could definitely handle not killing myself from food poisoning.
4. Upload another video to YouTube - I thought I would have uploaded more than one last year. (Technically I uploaded two but one of the videos was a song from a gig so that doesn't really count) I sort of vlogged my trip to London and uploaded the video. Hopefully I'll upload another one to keep my schedule of one video a year going on!
5. To go abroad - This is the one I wasn't really fussed about achieving. I knew it would have been a long shot anyway. Instead of going abroad though I spent the week in London with my friends and I had the best time.
So last year sort of worked, I hope this year goes to plan as well.
1 - I want to read more, I used to be a huge book nerd when I was younger and I had a surge of reading in high school. After I left high school I sort of left my reading there too, and now I'm lucky if I read one book every six months. I'm not going to put a number on my reading list. But maybe one book a month would be a huge start.
2 - Say YES to more things. I don't think my friends know how many things I've cancelled because I've been too scared to go. I missed out on loads last year, and this year I want to step out of my comfort zone a little bit and get involved again with my friends. My social life is practically non existent thanks to my anxiety but this year I want that to change.
3 - Stop neglecting my blog! Last year was a rough year for me, and instead of writing down my feelings on my blog which probably would have helped. I shut myself off and stopped caring about my baby. I started this blog for a reason, to help me find a distraction from real life and to make me feel better about myself. Which it always does when I write a post! I need to get back into the groove of things like I was in the first year of this blog.
4 - Start doing more things independently. I depend way too much on other people, I only tend to go out shopping alone maybe twice a year and I have to wait for other people to make plans. If I started doing more things on my own then I won't have to wait or rely on other people. I'll be 22 this year I would love to become more independent and I want to learn to love doing things alone. I mean I would love to shop alone, I'm really fussy and I could spend hours looking for something, I always cut it short when I'm with others but if I'm alone I can spend as long as I like there.
5 - ACTUALLY GET A TATTOO THIS TIME. I've finally found a studio that I'm 100% happy with and I haven't even been in the place! It's the next town over in Chester, but it beats the ones here. I've heard so many good stuff about them and I adore every single artists work. Hopefully in a few months I'll have another tattoo, and then another and another and another.
I'm really excited for 2017. Hopefully this year will be incredible and so much better than 2016!
