2014.

2013 is finally over.

Looking back, I've accomplished lots this year:
I moved out.
I got a sweet promotion at work.
I took some road trips and saw old friends.
I got my tattoo.
I saw Jimmy Eat World in concert. (super win!)

How did I feel about this year?
It was fine. But I still feel like something was missing.
Even though I truly did a lot.
Today I sit back and realize I'm grateful for everything I have.
For all the opportunities I've been given.
Because really, this year has been great. And I should see it that way.

Cheers to 2014. I hope next year brings you joy and peace. 

This is the New Year.

I sit here thinking about 2012, all of the things I have done, and all of the changes I have made.
This year has been an amazing learning experience, and what is life without learning?

I got my first non-student job, met a tonne of new people, and spent quality times with the people I love.

I completed a year of a much healthier lifestyle, spent the time reading just for fun (for the first time... ever), and kept up this blog for a whole other year.

Do I have any goals for 2013? 

1. To venture outside my comfort zone more. 

This was a 2012 goal.
I did a bit, but not as much as I had hoped I might. It's back on the list for 2013.

2. To budget and stick to it. 

This is so hard for me. I'm living with my parents without too many expenses, so I can justify "spending" a lot more. 

My goal will be to save 70-75% of my monthly income. 

Aggressive, but really it should be easy for someone in my situation. 

3. Love and appreciate more. 

I live with my family. They get on my nerves. It happens to everyone. 

But I don't want to look back on these years and regret not appreciating them enough. 

Do you have any goals for 2013?

Happy New Year to everyone :)
