I never stick to these and every year I say that I'll try my best to, but I never do. Maybe next year will be the year!

- I'm starting university next year so I really want to get to know as many people as I can, not only within my own faculty/course but in other faculties too!
- Volunteer more! High school and having to study five days a week really limited my volunteering opportunities so I really want to go out and do long-term volunteering with a charity or foundation
- Get a gym membership and do something with it! I've never been athletic (low stamina and all) so I'd really like to join a spin class or do some yoga. Something to get my body moving!
- Not drink alcohol. I've never really liked it, except for one specific drink + I don't like how it makes me feel. Hopefully I can go a year without drinking it and not give into peer pressure.
- Have a good work/study/life balance. 2018's going to hit me with university, two jobs, and having to maintain a decent social life so I hope I come out alive and well!

Nice resolutions :)

In retrospect, I think enjoying year 12 is often overlooked by a lot of people (particularly if you are aiming for a high ATAR). I definitely fell into the trap of focusing too much on VCE, neglecting the fact that there are a lot of unique opportunities in year 12 and emotional moments that deserve recognition; and taking the time to relish these experiences will not hurt your ATAR, but allow you to acknowledge that the culmination of 13 years of schooling is not a number, but an experience you share with your friends.

I’m not usually one for new year’s resolutions but I might share a few.
- At the risk of sounding terribly cliched, I am determined to stop being unfit, and the gym seems the best way to rectify this unfortunate situation
- Hopefully University can be an opportunity to improve my social skills, so I’m going to make an effort to find friends in all my lectures and tutorials
- I also want to get into some casual sports to I might join a University team and make some more new friends
- Need to find some part time employment as well. So far it has been difficult, but I am confident that with perseverance I will find something
- I enjoyed volunteering through organisations at my school so hopefully I can continue this at University

- Don't stay up late (past midnight) in order to do more work
- Actually commit to going to events instead of staying back due to the "homework load"
- Keep up with all the co-cirricular stuff in my life like volunteering and music
- Freaking get my L's already it's been over a year since I could've. Hopefully I can get this done before end of year!!
- Keep maintaining my realtionship with God :) (I'll definitely be needing it in 2018)

this is the first i've seen of this one! it's on my list too. :-)



i actually wrote mine down the other day, so here goes:
- healthier lifestyle: eating better and exercising regularly. i used to play netball and do taekwondo weekly, and mum's making me go back to taekwondo next year so that's one part done. i love team sports, so maybe that'll be more accessible in uni. :-)
- update my photo wall. i have a photo wall that hasn't been updated since july (whoops) and i keep telling myself to do it but i haven't
- get a WWCC, First Aid and CPR certificate so it's easier to apply for jobs involving kids. i decided not to do primary teaching so maybe doing tutoring jobs, babysitting, etc. will make up for it!
- pass grade 7 piano. i really need to get practicing
- actually get my Ps
- maintain a close relationship with God

I want to have a healthier 2018.

Goodluck with your healthy 2018! I'll be working towards the same :)
Also, completely unrelated but I love your picture so much and as I want to become a physiotherapist I'm going to put it on my wall above my study space !!  ;D :P


1. To get my P's
2. To reach in the top 5 in all if not most of my subject's
3. Find a study method that works for me and stick to it
4. Save more, Spend less
5. Work towards getting Baptised :)

Mod edit: Please edit your existing post rather than posting twice in a row.
