Six goals, one year.

Goals, I love to make ‘em, love the feeling of starting something, never finish them. This year I intend to complete a list of at lest six goals, simple, easy goals that don’t involve a ton of money, or something that doesn’t really interest me.

1) Read five books;

I haven’t read any novels in the past year, my boyfriend bought me a book that I picked for Christmas, and I’ve only read a few chapters. It’s a book about the royal family.. well, a book set back in time written with the characters being that of the royal family. I love these books. I also must finish Ink Death. Oh how I miss reading.

2) Go on holiday;

By holiday, I mean go a few days / a week somewhere, not seeing family or friends, just go to a beach and chill the fuck out. When I say family or friends, I mean.. I’ll take Jared. I just want him and I to be alone? Know what I mean? Justchill.

3) Pay off more of my car;

When I say “more” I mean pay more then I should, throw money at my loan when I have extra money, I would liketo pay off half of it ($4000), but let’s be realistic. I need to pay off at lest $1000 more then I have to.

4) Save $1000;

I always makes stupid money goals.  Saving is fucking hard for me. This savings will be for rainy days. eg: If I get fired, I hate my job really bad I must leave, I have to travel / find somewhere to stay in case something bad happens in the family, I’m sick for a long period of time. OK so I may need more then $1000, but lets be honest, it’ll be a fucking struggle to get the far.

5) Learn a lot at work;

Last season I learnt a lot, but not as much as I should of, not my fault though. However, this year I want to soak in everything I can, sop up everything I can take from this job, while I still don’t know what I want to do with my life, nurse, farmer or teacher, I still need to be learning as much as I can about everything I can. YAY.

6) Have some fucking fun;

I’m sick of being a fucking Nana. I want to party, I want to make friends, and yeah, I want to drink a little. I’m sick of being all fucking mature and “Drinking is a waste of money / time”. Tbh, in NZ, gets you fucking know where.

And that’s all. Five goals. One year. Think it’ll work? I reckon the goals are pretty do-able.

    These are some really great and relatively easy to accomplish goals!

    I feel like I need to accomplish them all too. I feel like a Nanna sometimes too! I don’t drink either but I used too so I don’t think I’ll be going there any time soon :P

    Good luck with achieving your goals!

    Hi! First, thanks for the comment on my blog ^.^ Ranking the HP books/films was DIFFICULT…I did feel bad putting #1 last, but I don’t like simple plots haha. The last 6 books were sort of picking up from where #1 left off, but that’s also where a lot of the mystery began, stuff that wasn’t FULLY solved until 6 or 7. <3

    Anyway, I like this list a whoooole bunch. I'd say to reread Harry Potter for your 5 books, but I'm sure you mean books you've never read. I've been reading a lot of young adult fiction lately because more and more authors are touching on ideas I'm interested in — girls playing sports, living with mental illness, things of that nature — so it's really becoming a guilty pleasure. But if you need books, I recommend Brett Runyon or Barry Lyga's stuff. They're really easy to read but also have deep meaning. :D Good luck with the list!

    I think these are wonderful and very much doable goals. I always start to save, but then Apple comes out with these awesome gadgets that we just want! So, we get them. We know that we might as well enjoy these splurges, because once we start a family, that’s all going to stop. So, while I don’t feel too guilty about it, I wish Steve Jobs would stop making such awesome stuff. It’s making a dent in our savings!!

    Tsk tsk. First goal! Tsk tsk. To raise my spirits during exam time, I went and borrowed a whole heap of kids novels. They’re so fun and I would take an hour to read each of them. XD
