New Years resolutions never ever work out, but this year I'm going to consider them more goals & guidelines for the year ahead. What do I feel like I need to work on?

1. Focus more on my photography. [this begins with getting my camera fixed (or buying a new one) and starting a photo a day project.]
2. BFF SQUAD [let's get a move on girls & make our plans a reality, we've got the skills lets put them to use]
3. Stay positive. [remove toxic friendships & work on being more optimistic about certain situations.]
4. Take more chances. [stop being so safe regarding relationships and work decisions.]
5. Be smarter with my money. [limit unneeded spending & pay off loans!!]
6. Help friends gain the success they deserve. [ *cough* Chris Nathan *cough*]
7. Be healthier. [no more scary tonsillitis!, eat better, & take better care of myself]
8. Stand up for myself more. [I'm way too passive sometimes, I hate confrontations.]
9. Stop Procrastinating. [this will take the most work...haha, I'm actually better than I use to be sadly.]
10. Discover a new artist a day. [whether it be a photographer, artist, or band, gain more inspiration!]
11. Write more. [blog, livejournal, real journal, stories, SOMETHING.]
12. Be more organized. [with dates, plans, work, shows, knowing tidbits, etc...]
13. LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY. [whether it's about a friend, something I love, or something I know nothing about.]



I already started working on some of these. I quit my job at PetSmart, I need to refocus on where I want to be in my life and it was holding me back.

My life since graduation has been full of ups and downs. I hope 2008 brings me more than 2007 did. 2007 was a very trying year for me, but I've learned a lot about myself and where I want to be. Would I change anything about it? I really don't think so, the person I was in the beginning of 2007 is not the person I am now and I'm actually very happy about it.

So here's to 2008, hopefully it'll be better than the last. What are some of your goals for this year?
