31. resolutions

cosmopolitan magazine + getting nails done = inspiration to begin my new years resolution list:

1-be more adventurous. try new foods, stay out later, chose fun over school.

2-step out of my comfort zone (slightly similar to 1). talk to strangers, smile more, go places i would initially refuse to.

3-make more friends. become involved, initiate conversations, (see above).

4-get involved. self-explanatory.

5-be honest. with myself and others.

6-be more conscious. eat healthier, exercise more.

7-be happy. this is a biggie. this pretty much sums up every previous resolution-be honest about what makes me happiest. do things that will benefit my well-being. surround myself with people that will ultimately lift me up. but first, be able to lift myself up.

8-travel. be sure to explore and take advantage of traveling opportunities.

i will probably add more as they come to me. new york tomorrow!
