New Year's Grand Schemes!

Well, you know... I might as well tell y'all. I'll even give explanations!

The List:
  • Organize my time better. If I can conquer time management, happy fun times will be had. Oh, and I get tons more stuff done, both serious and fun things.
  • Spend more time and effort on my schoolwork. No more B's for me! I want to graduate summa cum laude (cum laude would be nice too).
  • Begin to do yoga. Recommended by my chiropractor due to my scoliosis/sciatica nerve issues. Plus, I love yoga.
  • Attend church. Believe it or not, I never attended church. I would love to hear at least a few services from different places.
  • Volunteer for a charity for two weeks. I'm donating to charity, why not physically do something for charity?
  • Drink more water. Since I swore off caffeniated products, I'm relying on powdered tea. That's good, but not efficient.
  • Save my money more efficiently. I'm trying to save up for an apartment, fun stuff, charity donations, and some random big-ticket item.
  • Learn all about my insurances. Since I have been kicked off my folks' insurance at the end of last year, I might as well know how the one I get from my job works.
  • Watch more movies. I have a Netflix backlog like you wouldn't believe.
  • Practice guitar every day for an hour. I have a feeling guitar-playing will make things easier for me to deal with.
  • Write every day. This is obvious, since I'm a writer.
  • Do better on my car's upkeep. Since it's mine (not 100% though), I might as well know how it all works.
  • Lessen my movie, book, CD, and video game backlogs. How can I justify buying more books if I haven't read the ones I already have? Same goes with the other categories.
  • Learn many new skills. Many examples include: how to maintain a car, fix faucets, do math, shop for a car... etc.
  • Go out with friends/co-workers/family more often. I'm a homebody, but I want to change that. I love staying at home, but I know I'm missing out on life.
  • Be less scared of the online community. I get nervous on message boards and when I post on here (every so often though). I want to change that. No vlogs or anything like that from me, but just be more active on message boards.
Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. I'll be (in Cartman's words) hella busy. But, I'll still post on here!

Until next time, I leave you, listening to Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)"...
