New Year's Resolutions Are So Cliche

Yet I will do them anyway.  These will all be my serious ones... sometimes I make ones that I wish I could keep, but can't, but what's the point, then? :-)

  • Keep my blood sugars below 250 all of the time, and below 160 whenever at all possible. Super important to me right now! But also above 70.
  • Stop procrastinating. I need to find a system that works - because doing it at 10:00 PM never ever has cut it this year.  Motivation to do my homework right after school?  For physics I already have a semi-system -- Do one problem, take a ten-minute break. 
  • Spend time with my boyfriend on a regular basis. :-)  Good relief of stress.
  • Go to bed at a reasonable time, like, say, 11:30 to start. 10:30 is the goal!
  • Read more - about two books outside of school per month.  I have so many "to-read" books on Goodreads that it will take me many many years still. :-)
  • Spend time with my family.  Real time. 
  • Find time to hang out with friends - included in this is making them find the time to hang out with me. 
  • Become more interested and involved in choosing a college - I have a list of where I would want to go if given the choice, but now I need to start actually deciding which choices are practical.  By this time next year, I will have already applied! (I could have an interesting conversation, even if one-sided, about pressure to go to college...)
  • Draw even more! To get an emphasis in visual arts at school, I need to also start submitting my art to shows. I plan to do one at school in January, but am thinking about doing fairs as well.  Also, does anyone know of any art galleries I can visit?
  • Eat less chocolate. X-)
  • Hopefully hopefully maintain my 4.0, but allow myself to not stress out if I get a 3.8 (hopefully 3.9. School is tough!)
Do you have any resolutions?  Do you make resolutions that you know you'll never keep every year, like me? ;-)
