New Years Resolutions

Happy New Year! С Новым Годом! Frohes neues Jahr! 

I was planning on posting another review for all of you today, but instead decided to make a more personal post :). It's officially 2013 and I want to make the best of it. I have come up with a list of resolutions that should help me. I do find resolutions hard to stick to, but I feel they are positive influences and help guide us in achieving our goals in life :).

1. Make more time for friends and family: Second year in university and having a part-time job means not having a whole lot of free time. My answer to anyone who wanted to hang out was "I'm either studying or working". I was absolutely touched when my closest friends surprised me on my birthday since I had barely seen them during the past few weeks.

I love my friends and plan on trying to squeeze in more time with them whenever possible :). 

2. Be more tidy: Sadly, my room turns into complete chaos during semesters. Tea cups seem to be in every corner I look. Each year I vow to clean up more and be organized. Lets hope I can actually stick to it for once :P.

3. Do well in school: This is a given. I'm sure every uni student has made this resolution. Longer study sessions, less procrastination (hardest thing thanks to the internet, specifically Youtube!), and good grades is the goal! I always feel very proud of myself when I'm actually being productive with my work :). 

4. Blog More: When I started this blog, my rule was to post every 2-3 days. Instead it's now become once a week. This will change, I promise!!! 

5. Cook more: It's very hard to stand in front of the stove and cook something up instead of just buying a pre-made meal to save time. But I have bought Jamie Oliver's Cook Book, "Meals in Minutes", and plan on using it!

(Caught in the act!)

6. Visit the boyfriend more often: This might sound like a very weird resolution to anyone who reads this, but we have a long distance relationship and can only see each other during school breaks (which are every few months). But since I now have my job, I can afford to visit him a bit more this year :). He means the world to me and being with him is the best present I can ever receive. 

So there you have it, my new years resolutions! I wish everyone a great start to 2013 and would love to hear what resolutions you have made for this year :).
