I am a little late but
Happy new year, everyone!
Toasting to new beginnings, and better days! Going into the new year with boundless, uncharacteristic optimism because hope is hella punk! I am going to reach for my biggest, most outlandish goals without shame because there is nothing shameful about having a dream. I am going to try hard, and I will not be afraid or embarrassed about future failures! And I will expect success!! This is important to me because I feel like I pre-empt failure so much I end up leaning on my Plan Bs and Plan Cs without pursuing Plan A to the fullest.
2025 Achievements:
Survived (crashed out on the night of 31st too, but y'all, I survived!!)
Wrote 50k+ words (I would do 50k in a month when I was 16 so it doesn't feel very big, but with the year that 2025, I'll take it as a win.)
Passed 4 uni exams (... of 9)
Started going to the gym
Read 1 book (more if we count light novels. but I don't)
Reconnected with 14-year-old-me's interests (I was onto something.)
2025 is up there with one of the worst years of my life. Between romantic rejections, friendship fall-outs, and regretful results, I have not been having fun. In that light, I have some simpler goals for 2026. My new year's resolution:
Get help for Mental Health
Talk to an Academic Counselor
Do a 100 Days of Productivity Challenge
Complete at least 90 credits in total
Raise GPA from 2.0 to 3.3
Make Friends
Write 100k words
Learn to do Pull-ups
Learn to do Push-ups
Learn CAD
Get Enough Sleep at Night
At the end of this year, I want to feel confident in the path I'm pursuing. I want to feel competent. That's the main bottom line. From today onwards, I am someone worth believing in, someone who studies everyday, and someone who studies efficiently. Everyday of this year, I will be the best I can be!
We got this!
