1. Cook an actual meal. Like, from scratch.
Or, almost from scratch - I only have a year, I'm not a miracle worker.
2. Drive a super car at the speed of light (or so fast I feel I may throw up)
This isn't some crazy, potentially lethal idea, honest. For this years birthdays my dad arranged for my sister and I to drive 3 different super cars around a racing track. 0 to 60 in 3.5 baby! (Yes I will quote Rihanna lyrics if I want)
3. Get back into running
4. Learn how to hold my liquor (not easy when my friends are all total lightweights)
I am doubtful that this will happen, but it sure will be fun to try.

5. Blog for real
I am so bad at actually committing to stuff, but I really want this whole blogging thing to work out so I shall try my best!

6. Finish my photo wall
I love waking up every morning to my photo wall, but right now it's only half finished. I purposely left room to post new pictures because everyday new cool stuff happens, but I reeeeeally want as much of the wall filled asap!

7. Enjoy my last ever family holiday
My parents have decided to ditch me after summer 2014. Yep, I am being ditched. By my parents. Oh the shame.

8. Conquer a fear
I haven't decided which fear yet, but I'm sure the process will be life changing and really not very enjoyable at all.

9. Keep on the paleo path
For the last few months I've been trying to follow the Paleo living and eating plan and it's really good, and I feel great (most of the time; when I'm not considering mass genocide just so I can eat a slice of bread). Healthy eating is great so I definitely want to try and continue with it as long as possible. {what's paleo? Educate yourself here}

10. Write someone a letter
Like, an actual real life pen and paper and stamp and home address written in calligraphy, letter. Nobody does it anymore and it sounds nice.

11. Tell my friends I love them as often as possible (without it getting weird)
Frankly, nobody says 'the L word' enough and I want everyone I love to know that I am nice and that (to me) they are super cool.

12. Take a step back from the drama
Drama seems to follow me everywhere, so this year I want to watch everyone else's drama from the sidelines, and not partake in my own. A mug of herbal tea to accompany my quiet life will suit me just fine, thank you.

13. Get work experience!
This is a very important point on my list; whilst getting a degree in advertising is good, it is even better if you have industry experience. Next summer I will be jumping in with both feet to get me some work experience!
14. Meditate
Don't give me that look! I got super stressed out a few months ago (boys, deadlines, uni, boys) so I started meditating before bed to help me relax after crazy days and subsequently sleep better. It actually really helped - and the internet is a great place to find tips on making the most of what mediation has to offer.

15. Keep my plants alive
It's really not as easy as it looks. Though, my dad did just buy me a cactus and they're supposedly near impossible to kill so I'm feeling positive.

16. Pass my second year of uni!
If this doesn't happen, I'm kind of screwed because I don't really have a Plan B...

17. Become a gold level Starbucks card member
You get cool free stuff like soya milk and flavoured syrups to add to your coffee. Yeah, it's pretty pointless but I'm over three quarters of the way there so now I just want to take it all the way. Green level is for suckers.

18. Use my year planner
I am notoriously egotistical when it comes to my ability to remember dates, but frankly, it's all lies. I recently bought myself a year planner and I am determined to use it to help plan my life. It's scientific fact that people with written planners are badass and never forget anything, and that is the kind of person I want to be.

19. Have fun and be happy (woop!)
Cliche and embarrassing to admit, but it's true. This year I want to find something that makes me so inexplicably happy that I never let it go (or just revel in this happiness for as long as possible). Positivity is key... I'm gonna write that down.
So there we have it, my 19 resolutions. Next year I'm gonna come back and see how many I actually managed to do. Wish me luck!
