Top 5 Wednesday: 2017 Goals

Hello! It’s Wednesday again, the first Wednesday of the year! And since I’ve already completed a few different posts about goals, these ones will be different than the ones I’ve already mentioned. (Plus, reading other people’s goals posts gave me more ideas, so I want to do more anyways! :D)

5. Be more active in the blogging community

I’ve already started my progress towards this one. Last year, along with posting very sparingly, I didn’t really go through my post feed very much either. For everyone who commented or liked my posts and I didn’t return the favor, I’m very sorry. I’ll do better this year – you’ll see more of me on your blog.

This also includes better maintaining my social media accounts. If you’d like to add me on any of the following, do so!

Here is my goodreads account and my instagram account! Warning, I post pictures of my cat a lot. And my books, but mostly my cat.

4. Get in shape

I say this every year. Millions of people say this every year. But I really need to do it. It needs to happen. Currently I’m round. I’d like to be not round. :”D I started this resolution a bit before Christmas and am already seeing results, so I hope to keep it going.

To do this, I use MyFitnessPal ( <- Link if you’d like to add me) and have myself on a pretty decent calorie deficit. I’d also like to exercise more – I’m trying out a few different things and hopefully one of them will stick. Wish me luck. I’m gonna need it.

3. Prioritize books over the internet

I kinda mentioned this one in a past post, but not phrased so solidly. Basically, my life has become focuses on staring at glowing rectangles. Whether it be my phone, laptop, tablet or television, the damn rectangles tend to distract me from my books. I think it contributes a lot to how much reading I get done, or rather how much I don’t. I like reading, but I find myself procrastinating it and I can’t figure out why the hell it happens.

2. Get married

Yup, I’m getting married. My goal is to get everything organized in time to do so this year. We’re likely not having a wedding – just going to a JP and going on a honeymoon, but that alone is gonna take a lot of planning. I can’t imagine all the details a wedding would require. I found my person and I want to get this set up correctly so I can keep him.

1. Graduate college

This is the thing I want to do the most. If you haven’t followed my blog long (because I talk about this damn thing all the time) I’m currently in college for the second time. The first time, I got a bachelor’s in psychology. It kinda did nothing for me job-wise. So in 2014 I went back for computer science. I’ve seen gotten an internship that wants to hire me after graduation, which is way way better than my situation before. So now I just need to graduate. I supposedly do so in May – two more courses to go and then I’m free (again). If I do this and fail all else, I’ll still be happy with myself.

And that’s what I’d like to do in a nutshell. :”D I do hope you decide to add me on any of the things I’ve linked above – I do like having friendies.

Happy reading!
