New Season

New Year, New Hair

There’s something about starting something new that’s so appealing. It’s like cleaning out a cluttered storage room, but really it’s just like a Wednesday becoming a Thursday. Per tradition, I have written down my dumb worldly resolutions for the year.

1. Manage finances, set budgets — I downloaded the mint app on my phone a while ago. I can’t get myself to open it because it’s so annoying. It reminds me that I am spending money on useless things. Like, I get it. I tend to think of my materialistic impulse purchases as investments, and a service to the U.S. economy. However, a wise man once told me one must not deceive oneself. (That man was my alter ego — Jules.) Starting this year, I must budget my spendings and save for the future. Ugh, so adult.
2. Learn to code— I started like four coding tutorial things and only got halfway or less on all of them. I am so lame. I must learn to code and build things.
3. Run a half marathon— This one, I might take out in the middle of the year depending on how I feel. I just hate running more than 5 miles. I should just do what I love, right?
4. Doodle more — I shall create some sort of art at least once a week, even if it’s just something artsy fartsy. I’m an artist! Must not forget.
5. Stop binge drinking and losing all my shit — This is the story of my life that will have a happy ending as I turn a new age.

Where’s the ‘Lose 20 pounds’ one? Yeah, that’s right. It’s gone. No, it has not been accomplished, but that one just sucks because it never gets checked off and I just hate unchecked boxes. I’ll just add it to my daily to-do’s.

It’s been real, 2014.

Just remembered it’s Christmas Eve, not New Year’s Eve. I did it.
