2015 Has Arrived!

It's a brand new year! 

And with every new year comes new plans, new ideas, new people and new adventures! There's so much to do and so much to see and so much to eat! I can't help but give into the societal stigma that yeah, it's a new year and things can change. People can change.

So I have my new year resolutions! Most years I have made them fairly... extraordinary. My eyes were bigger than my wallet, my planner, and my heart. And I don't know about you, but I very much dislike not being able to achieve my goals.

That is why I'm working on making better resolutions this year around that are a little more likely to reach.

Here's my list of New Year Resolutions for 2015:

1. Try Lobster. Preferably not in the shell, because though I do enjoy seafood, I cannot eat it if it looks like it was alive. I can't. Animal crackers are cool, but lobster shells are another thing altogether.

2. Travel abroad. Canada at least, would be fun, though apparently it's about a 20 hour drive? Hm. 2013 I went to China and 2014 I went to Mexico, though, and I am hoping to fit something into 2015, even if it's a short trip somewhere!

3. Consider going through the temple. In my LDS religion, most kids my age are on missions, which is not a part of my plan- or they are married. In case you haven't noticed, I am not married. But the doors of the temple are more open now, to going through the inside even if I am not doing one of those two (yet!). I've started praying about it and sometime this next year, things might happen.

4. Summer internship/good job. At the top of my list is a  professional internship with Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. However, it is very competitive and I don't know how good my chances are of getting in. But part of my dream has always been to work with them and do creative writing, and I'd like to try a shot with the big leagues and get my foot in the door! And if I don't get it, I would like to at least find a job outside of Cedar (anywhere but here, please), because I cannot stay here a third summer. Hey, who knows? Maybe I'll head off to Virginia or better yet: Alaska.

5. Be More Social. My family and few friends might laugh and mock this, but I am serious. It's something I am constantly working on, but for other introverts such as myself, it's really difficult! It is time consuming, energy consuming and most of all: emotionally consuming. When I started up school- a year ago!- again, full time, when I was also working= I finished the first day just exhausted of everything and I went to FHE and my energy fell apart within the hour we were there. I was a limp noodle by the time I got home! So this is something I want to work on.

So, here's to 2015 and the adventures to come! And what are YOUR resolutions?
