i HEART lists

Blog Goggles and Glamour are both making lists... and we know how much I love those! So I've decided that I'm going to copycat them both and make two lists of my own!

My Makeover-My-Life List

1. No more unproductive fights. They are a waste of energy and don't solve anything. So I am telling myself not to fight unless I am going to be a big girl and try to solve whatever issue is at hand.

2. Clean. I can't focus on anything (namely homework) if my surroundings are a pit. Now I will do my very best to keep things tidy-ish all the time so that it doesn't look like a bomb exploded in my apartment most of the time. And that means I have to start doing the dishes more frequently.

3. Stop procrastinating. Okay, I will admit that this one is a little bit unrealistic, but I wanted to put it on the list anyway. I will try my best to stop procrastinating. Example: tonight, I had an assignment due at midnight for an online class. I got out of work at 9:30 and still had 2/3 of the chapter to read. Yeah, not my proudest moment. I wrote my response about what I had read. Ugh.

4. Eat better and exercise - for the health benefits. Ignoring the rant I went on a few posts ago, I need to be healthy. Example: for lunch today, I went to Arby's and had not one but two ham melts and an order of curly fries... and I washed it down with a Mountain Dew. Oh my gawd, this is not good. Not good at all. Also, still convincing the BF to go halvesies on an exercise bike.

5. Have a cute winter wardrobe. Winter is blah, and I really don't like bundling up. However, I know that it is possible to still look cute, even with eight layers on. So I am determined to look good and therefore feel good this winter!

My Big Dreams List

1. Travel to interesting places. Top on my list: India, Japan, China, and Italy.

2. Graduate from college! I am almost there and I swear I will finish and hopefully still have my sanity in tact!

3. Be comfortable in my career. I know this isn't something that will happen immediately, and I understand that it may be awhile until I find something that works well for me. I am, however, determined to find something that fits me just right!

4. Buy a house! I am addicted to House Hunters and Hidden Potential, so I daydream about about buying a home all the time. The Boyfriend and I are always talking about our dream home with an awesome master suite and a movie theater room and a hot tub. Someday!

5. Publish a book. I love writing, and it would be an awesome accomplishment if I could work on something long enough to actually create a book that others would enjoy.
