ah 2014, here you are

Happy New Year to everyone! 2014. Wow. Happy 14th birthday world!

I'm kidding, Mr. Llama. I promise.

Anyways, I've been trying to come up with some resolutions to make myself better but it's difficult. There are so many things I want to do and so many places I want to go! So, I downloaded an accountability app called 'Everest' and got to work.

Here are my tangible goals this year:
1. Read 50 books
2. Read my Bible for 20 minutes each morning
3. Do something selfless each day
4. Memorize one Bible verse each week
5. Write a journal entry once a week
6. Genuinely compliment someone once a day
7. Drink 8 glasses of water a day
8. Have $1000 in my savings account by the end of the semester
9. Get an internship in DC/ NYC
10. Complete a 5k (gotta start somewhere, AMIRIGHT?)
11. Leave the country
12. Find out a new person's passion every week
13. Laugh really hard once a day
14. Get married

And here are some of my abstract goals:
1. Live more in the PRESENT and spend a lot less time on the Internet (hard to do at college, but it must be done!)
2. Work out more
3. Eat cleaner
4. Start a prayer journal

  • Side note: Jack Wellman suggested making the header of each request like this: 
    • Date
    • Prayer request details
    • Person's name or thing I prayed for (even if it's me)
    • Date answered (when it comes)

5. Cut negative people out of my life
6. Learn a new skill
7. Wake up earlier
8. Be the kindest to people who deserve it the least
9. Stop participating in mindless gossip (about frenemies, celebrities, etc.)
10. Smile when I don't feel like it

And sorry boys, #14 was thrown in there for shock value. What are your resolutions? And what can I add to my already too-long list?
