Hello!
In my
case, make new year resolutions was kind of a waste of time, so I stopped doing
it years ago. For instance, I have already said that the following year would
be the one when I would finally start to do some exercise and, I could start
doing something, but never continue due to the lack of time or patience.
Besides this, why wait to a new year to do something? We should not wait to
fulfil our purposes.
Nevertheless,
contrary to what I have done in recent years, I have a list of goals that I
would like to accomplish in 2018. I hope to be able to comply with the
resolutions, not leaving them in the middle or forget them like before. With
this in mind, here are my resolutions:
Improve my
grades - It's not that my grades are bad, given the context, but I know I can
do better. This past year I've been pretty disappointed with my results, and I
want that to change. I will study even more, and make my family proud, and more
than them, myself.
Continue
studying Italian – I started studying this language it seems like it was an
eternity ago because I want to live in Italy one day. However, I stayed in the
basics and never had time to continue. It is my wish to be fluent in Italian, so
I better start doing something to accomplish that goal.
Finish
taking driving license – I already passed the Code of the Road. Now I must have
some driving classes and pass the final exam in order to obtain my driving
license. I have to do this preferably until the end of the Summer.
Diving –
This is something that I always remember wanting to try but never had the
chance. I would very much like to do this-this Summer.
Try to be
less impulsive sometimes – Usually, I am a very calm person, and who doesn’t
know me will probably never think that I have actual little patience for some
things or attitudes. To be honest is very easy for me to get angry, especially
in a bad mood. Yet, I know that in some cases I hurt the ones that I love,
unnecessarily. They're not to blame if I cannot control this side of myself.
Expand my
literary knowledge – There are so many books that I want to read! I want to
read the rest of the published books of the series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, continue my beloved saga
The Others by Anne Bishop, read the
last book of The Selection, The Crown, by Kiera Cass, continue the
fantasy novel of Victoria Aveyard namely the Red Queen. Other books as well like The Girl on the Train and Into
the Water by Paula Hawkins, Me Before
You by Jojo Moyes, The Ones Who Walk
Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin, Les
Misérables by Victor Hugo… It is a long list, and time (and money) are very
limited, yet I will try to read as much as I can this year.
In
conclusion, I'll do my best to comply with the resolutions for 2018, I will
work hard for that. I will be very proud if at the end of the year I get to the
completion that I accomplished my goals.
“The new
year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can
help write that story by setting goals.”
