Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!
Feeling refreshed and ready to start a brand new year! (That's the spirit I want to be in but I've had a pretty lazy morning so far...)
So, to kick start this Year, I would like to make my new years resolution. This year is pretty special for me and I sense it is going to be quite a tough one. Firstly, it is the first time in a long while that I am making these New Years resolutions because as a child, I found myself not sticking to any of the unreasonable targets I make myself, hence felt pretty pointless making resolutions that I'm not going to follow anyway. Secondly I am graduating from University in June so with this comes the whole issue with that to do with my life after that and getting jobs and the whole shebang. With this in mind I an sure that some changes in myself is necessary to get me through this year and at the end of it fell happy with the outcome. therefore, I resort to making a New Years resolution

In order to make these resolutions I would like to do a quick reflection on 2014. It hasn't been great (academic wise). My final exams at the end of June came out pretty appalling. This being the results of my penultimate year, I am currently in a pretty dire situation. On a happier note, I have got my first ever boyfriend!!! Things I do with him is a first for me so each and every moment together has been a special one.
Returning to my academic topic...After moving up to my fourth and master year of my course (my degree is an integrated masters course i.e. I graduate for the first time with a masters qualification) I kept my motivation high to adjust to the new lab based lifestyle and told myself to be almost completely devoted in my research (since I have to spend some time doing my other lecture modules!). .... well, as usual or me, this stayed true for about the first month and I gradually became too comfortable and became my usual lazy self. So for 2015, I would like to utilise this amazing thing called 'To Do LIST' and actually write down what needs done by when and actually STICK TO IT! (need to do this daily! Is it only me who starts off sticking to the plan for Monday and then before I realise it, its already Friday!?)


Second thing is concerning my growing interest in beauty products. 2014 has been the year that I have fully gone into beauty videos on YouTube and have started subscribing to blogs and reading them. I am one of the later ones to get into make up. I never really wore any make up during my school years. I did own the basic sets of make up but never felt confident enough to wear it in public. A combination of learning more about the types of make up and the application techniques through YouTube and also maturing and generally feeling more confident with myself has made me start experimenting more with make up. This is all good and exciting stuff but there was one draw back to this. I started to spend far too much on make up (Well probably not that much but considering my budget and the actual necessity of some of these products, it did add up to unnecessary cost). I shall therefore, note down what I have in all my beauty stash (once I get back to uni) and then shall do 'Project Pan' and ban myself from buying any more products unless it is necessary.

Thirdly its about this blog. I started this blog in the summer of 2014 but have abandoned it since. It was initially to keep a written record of any exciting thing that happened to my life and hopefully to share some of my interests with anyone out there. I have managed to write up the blog posts that I aimed to do with in 2014 (said in the last post) so these are scheduled to come up in the next week whilst I'm away at my ski holiday! As stated in the the previous post, I aim to get at least one post out per week. I have nor yet made specific schedules yet because I shall need to find what works time wise whilst during term time.

I think I will conclude my resolutions here. There are more things that I would like to add to this list such as fitness routine  and losing weight and other things but knowing me I know it isn't realist to put all what I hope to do. It is probably better to stick properly to this main three. I wish the best to any of you who have managed to read this far and please look forward to how my blog and life develops for the course of this year.
