New Years Resolutions.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

So this year I have made many resolutions to improve myself and my work so I thought I would share some of them with you. To me, making resolutions is very important as it helps me make my year better and more meaningful than the last one.

My resolutions and the reasons why:

- Work harder university. This is my first resolution as I really want to get the best grade I possibly can at the end of the year. Before Christmas I felt as though I was slightly slacking with my work however, the reason for this was because I didn’t understand some of the work set. So this year instead of hiding from it I am going to work harder to understand what I have to do so that my work is the best it can be. I am good with turning up to my lectures (even after a late night out) and I always make sure that I am writing notes throughout the lecture to re-read them later on in the day. I have only missed one of two lectures for good reason such as a doctors appointment or a family commitment back home so I am pleased with that and I definitely want to carry on being committed.

- Look for more inspiration.  I feel as though now living in Nottingham I take advantage of the beautiful buildings, restaurants and shops so this year I want to really appreciate the beauty around me by taking more pictures, looking for more inspiration my projects and blog and visit more places as who knows, I might learn a thing or two.

- Read more. Although I have been doing my reading for uni, this year I want to look more into it by writing notes as I read and read outside the reading list by purchasing other fashion books and magazines that I know will be full of fun facts and will help me in my future work.

Resolutions that don’t relate to my uni work:

- Spend more time with my family. Coming home for Christmas I had so many plans with my friends I hardly saw my family and now I have come to regret that. My auntie lives in Paris and only comes home about three times a year for a week or two, and this Christmas I hardly saw her which I will never do again as she has now gone back home and I really miss her. Next time she comes to England I am definitely going to make my plans with my friends before and after she is back so that I can treasure the time that she is home with me.

- To save my money. This resolution needs to happen as right now I find myself spending money on pointless things and then when it comes to needing something important like food, I have no money left. To be honest, I have been a lot better in 2015 than I was in 2014 as before I seemed to never have any money. Having a job really helps with my money problems and it also keeps me busy and keeps me away from spending anymore money. 

I hope that sharing these resolutions with you will help you have a better 2016!
