Resolutions

It's January 2nd, 2012. I'm not usually the type to make new years resolutions. Maybe it's because I try not to conform to what society does, what it wants and what it expects. I've never been one to write about my feelings. I guess I always thought it was something silly you see in movies. The kind with battered women, hopeless romantics and overly dramatic teen movies. Anyway, I guess I'm here because I do need someone to talk to. Even if it's just on my computer for no one to see. At least I can get it all out, right? Okay I'm rambling on about nothing.
I guess I started a blog to keep myself focused, occupied and motivated. I'm not very diciplined and find it hard to fight temptation so I'm writing to remind myself of my goals and aspirations. For the past year I've been talking about going to college, getting out of debt, living a healthier lifestyle, saying what I feel, not running away from my problems and I always say "I'll start tomorrow." But that's the problem. Tomorrow will always be here so why not start today? There's a lot that I want to accomplish so I'll work my way up, starting with the most realistic resolution/goal, of course. First, I registered for a 8k run. My goal is to get on the treadmil 3-4x a week. I have until March 25. I did this last year and finished in 50 minutes. This year I want to finish in 40. I have a feeling I'll be my only motivater for this, considering I don't get much from loved ones. Next, I want to get out of debt. Teach myself that I don't need shoes, clothes, bags or anything that we are told we need to be happy. I'm going to, for one year, not buy any of those things. I will do with what I have and remember why I have it. This should help with my $6295 debt. Next, I want to go to college. I'm 23 and feel like I haven't accomplished anything. I've been lazy and have been afraid to challenge myself because I've always felt like I wasn't good enough, smart enough to be worth the work. I guess this year will be the year I'll find out....
