New years resolution

while i was doodling...you guessed it, Wonder Woman! (picture of doodle on left) i had the sudden urge to create a list of my 2015 resolutions. i usually don't specifically make a New Years resolution lists because im constantly making lists of what i want to do to better myself but i figure taking a whole year to turn myself into the person i want to be is completely practical. so why not do it and record it here? my over all goal is to be my version of Wonder Women so without further ado here is my list of 2015 resolutions

1) the first is the typical: work out more, specifically 5-6 times a week

The over all goal here is to be able to buy clothes that are in sized 14-16, that's the minimum goal, right now i wear size 16-18 clothes leaning more on the size 18 side.

i also want to minimize my sweet tooth i tend to eat a lot of sweets and somehow unconsciously formed the habit of needing to eat a sweet after each meal except breakfast. it is an absolutely horrific habit that i want to get rid of.

other than that i also want to make healthier choices for myself. ever since i started college i have made terrible food choices and i guess it is because no one is around to stop me. i know from personal experience that taste buds are so adaptable and if you eat something long enough you will begin to like it. because i was in a theatre intensive all summer long where the instructors had me constantly working out for five hours straight with a 30 min lunch break each day, i decided i didn't want to slow myself down by eating crap for lunch, so i got accustomed to eating salad each day. even though later on in the program i began indulging in food because i was constantly burning energy, i was happy, healthy and bettering myself. i want to get back to that state of mind.
PS. for those entering college, the freshman 15 - 30 is real. be wise when making choices in college i thought i was safe from it but i wasn't!!

2)create a fashion sense for myself
 since i am overweight i guess that's my excuse for not really having a fashion sense. i tend to only wear skirts when i go to church but now my style has evolved from church wear to college wear which consists of plain solid shirts, hair up ,and jeans. i want to be more girly, confident, and overall just like the way i dress. although im not a complete mess i just feel as though my personality isn't showing as much as it should. i don't want to be dull. i want to be full of life,color,and frills.i also want to die my hair at least twice next year i have a huge fear of doing it but i want to do it so badly,so i figured i need to get over my fear and just live my life the way i want to live it.

3)become more charismatic
  once upon a time i had many friends and because of my many friends i had many events to go to and i generally love being surrounded by people. somehow over the years i have grown to only have a couple of close friends who i am so grateful to have but now that i am in college i don't get to see them as often and unfortunately my only friends have become my assignments for my classes which can be depressing.  i want to be able to make friends in any situation and not have to be uncomfortable if i choose to go to an event alone. i know im not always going to be in a perfect situation where i can adjust to the circumstances but to lessen my chances of being awkward would be nice

under this category also goes what i want to do to better myself as a person
-i want to gossip less( not that i really gossip, but if i do it id just rather stop myself before i start)
-i want to be more positive
-stay away from negative people (ive learned too many times that no matter how nice they are, negative people can really ruin your way of thinking and doing things.)
-stop being awkward

4)be more independent
- i want to learn a few self defense moves( hey you never know, plus it adds on to the invincibility that is part of Wonder Woman)
-i want to get a job next year
-i want to get my drivers license( i really need it because transportation is one of the few reasons why i stay home most days
-i want to believe that as long as i set my mind to it, anything is possible

5) be more active on Youtube
for those of you who do not know i have a Youtube channel and this is pretty self explanatory, i just want to take it more seriously and create more content

6)become more creative and cultural:
-i want to draw more, write more and just in general do more spontaneous things
as for culture i really want to get out and experience the world more, and do things like go to the movies,shows,festivals,and just have an overall amazing time

7)improve my craft
if you didn't already know, i am studying to be a performer which means singing,dancing and acting. my strength is in acting and my weaknesses are in singing and dancing. basically practice makes perfect and i really need to practice

8)get closer to God
i totally understand if any of you do not believe in God and that's OK but for me personally i have found a love in him that cant be replaced by anything.
for 2015 i want to find a church to attend and spend more time strengthening my relationship with him because he is absolutely amazing to me.

overall my goal for 2015 is to be more spontaneous. i want to take more chances. i want to be more confident, positive, and be fearless. i want to be my version of Wonder Women!

so that concludes my list of New Years Resolutions. i will be recording my progress and other things on this blog so keep checking in here for progress. if you have any similar resolutions, lets become better versions of ourselves together.

Lets really do this guys!!! i'
ll see you next year!

and remember in a world full of ordinary mortals, You are a Wonder Woman!!
