New Years Resolutions

So usually at new years I just look back at the year and hope for a better one this year, I also make a new years wish when the clock strikes midnight, that's been my tradition. These last few years though, I've started to also think about what I can do to improve myself, and to get closer to my goals. I've never written them down, but I had them loosely in my head.

This year (or technically last year), "loosely in my head" wasn't enough, so on the last day of 2012 I wrote down my New Years Resolutions for 2013. Granted, it was a new idea on my part to write them down, and I decided on it pretty late in the evening, so they became a bit fuzzy, and I forgot some important stuff as well, like about writing(!), but it's my first real try so I guess it's fine either way. I also made a deal with my brother to try and write small short stories for him every month. It doesn't matter what it is about he said, but personally I thought it might be a nice way to try out ideas for books, or to develop my characters. If I feel like it I might even post some here for you all to read :) If I do, be sure to comment on what you think :)

As a human though, I have a tendency to forget about the New Years Resolutions a soon as a few weeks or moths pass so I will post my little list here to make sure I really stick to it. (At least it's worth a shot, right?)

 ♥ Do my best in school, but keep the pressure down!
Stop biting my nails gradually
  Start taking driving lesson regularly in Örebro.
 ♥ Loose (at least) 5kg and start working out regularly. 
♥Start working (and show some improvement) on time management.

Some of these I have already started with, for example I started a routine to stop biting my nails before christmas (I can explain later) and only have a bit left, and I've also always done my best in school (I just noticed I was laying too much weight on the grades that it stressed me out) and I began working out pretty regularly last semester too. No one said you had to begin with your New Years Resolutions at New Years, you can start earlier. So I did :) 

Hopefully now, I can keep them the whole year. Go me!

What do you want to happen in 2013?
