New Year's resolutions... just typing it out is a scary. I tend to make a "list" every year of things that I would like to fix/tweak in my life. However, as the months fly by, I find my "list" not working out... my bad...
However, I was browsing the internet and found this article (don't judge it came from Cosmopolitain which I never read), and..... I think it is absolutely hilarious! And truth-be-told, it is down right honest! There are a few numbers that are not me per say, but that does not mean that it might not pertain to you!
To me, this new year is going to be about enjoying my new life in Nashville. I want to challenge myself in doing different things (outside of my comfort zone) and meeting new people along the way! I want to get healthy and bring exercise back in my life! I have also coined this year my "Year of Travel"...which is the most exciting part of this upcoming year by far! I hope that everyone has a happy and safe New Year's eve, and I hope that 2012 brings you nothing but the best! Until next year...
"1. Quit your job and wait for a dream career opportunity to present itself
Reality check: Suck it up and hang on to your gig for now. Appease yourself by taking a class or picking up a hobby that will make your résumé stand out, like learning a foreign language or starting a blog.
2. Lose five pounds
Reality check: Hot chicks like Beyoncé, Adele, Nicki Minaj and ScarJo are proof that toned and curvy is the new skinny.
3. Finally win back your ex-boyfriend
Reality check: Move on. We give you permission to engage in some rebound relationship therapy.
4. Buy into all the latest trends
Reality check: It's okay to be a slave to fashion...just be a slave to cheap fashion, rather than dropping serious bank on each and every look. Kick yourself later for wearing it, but don't kick yourself for blowing your paycheck on it.
5. Change your man
Reality check: While some relationship tweaking is to be expected (hey, few guys are natural-born good kissers), if the words "fixer-upper" and "project" could describe your boyfriend, it's time to get real.
6. Triple the number of friends you have on Facebook.
Reality check: Less time stalking your friends' friends' friends. More time catching up with buddies you actually care about.
7. Don't eat any junk food.
Reality check: Cutting out all unhealthy food from your diet will most likely lead to binge eating, followed by intense guilt, by mid-January.
8. Watch less trashy TV.
Reality check: Zoning out and de-stressing for a bit every night with the help of good bad television is harmless.
9. Save more money.
Reality check:Let's be honest. In this economy, we're just happy to be able to pay our rent, gas, and credit card bill.
10. Keep your number down.
Reality check: Nothin' wrong with notches on your bedpost, as long as you're being safe."
