a new year

I don’t normally make New Year’s resolutions, since I usually don’t follow through with them. But I figured, why not?

1. Exercise.
Please?

2. Step out of my comfort zone/be more confident/take chances.
There were so many times in the past few years that I was too scared to step out of my comfort zone and didn’t open myself up to new experiences. Didn’t apply for an internship position that I was interested in. Didn’t ask out a guy that I’m interested in. Life’s way too short to limit yourself because you’re scared of your pride getting hurt. It’s amazing how far we’ll go to protect our pride so that we don’t get hurt… at the cost of our own happiness.

3. Seek counseling.
I’ve hidden and buried my feelings in the past and hoped that they would go away on their own. But, it’s clear to me now that it doesn’t work that way. I know I need to talk to someone about how I feel, I just need to take the first step and call.

4. Time management.
I really need to learn how to budget my time, especially in regards to studying. I hate how almost every semester, I’m scrambling by the time midterms and finals are near. Last semester’s finals went pretty well ‘cause I knew how much time to spend on each class. Just gotta keep doing it!

5. Read more!
I haven’t read any books for pure pleasure since I started pharmacy school in 2010! Only textbooks :(

6. Eat healthier.
