2014 TO-DO LIST
1. Finish the book that's been in the works for 2 years.
Um...yeah, so I'm in college now, and have officially no time. Well, at least it is very difficult to find time to write. I haven't given up that I will write on it during the semester though!
2. Become more dedicated in my quiet time.
A little bit more, but since moving it's been challenged again. Slowly getting back into it, as with plenty of other things. I'm going through "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan :)
3.Investing more in my relationship with God.

3.Investing more in my relationship with God.
I believe this will be challenged here at Bryan more than anywhere else I would have gone.
4. Reading the Bible all the way through.
'This one did not work out this year, unfortunately.'
5. Working out more; getting in better shape.
I got out of the swing of it since moving, but am slowly but surely getting back up to it. I'm constantly worn out though, and motivation is sometimes hard to work up.

6. Keep my room clean.
The Queen and I keep our room pretty clean, actually! It's so nice and makes it easier to study in :)
7. Get my license.
GOT MY LICENSE YALL. I'M LEGAL. I even drove my brother and I to Starbucks the other day. What what.
8. Get a job.
I am planning on getting a job at a local bookstore next summer at home and saving some dough.
9. Go to college.
I'm writing from my dorm, had my first exam and two quizzes today, and been doing homework since, have lovely new friends (including my roommate, The Queen, nicknamed such because of her first and middle names, Victoria Elizabeth, run around campus all day long, and am having a blast!
10. Being more conscious of what you eat.
So for the first week and a half here I pretty much didn't....ad my face exploded with acne. Making another post on that later, but let's just say I straightened up my ways, and it's paid off.
11. Write more on the side of the novel mentioned above.

11. Write more on the side of the novel mentioned above.
It's slowed to a standstill, with only journal entries really since I moved, but again, hoping to start this back up, especially in the next couple of days.
12. Read more.
I wish I had read more over the summer, because now I'm pretty much just reading textbooks :?
13. Don't spend as much time online.
I do but I don't...I mainly watch something for entertainment, but I'm off and running around with friends just as much if not more...it's a balance.
14. Get better at guitar.
I pick it up every few days and play a song and sing in my dorm room a wee bit on the quiet side. It's fun and relaxing.
15. Graduate.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I AM NOW A COLLEGE WOMAN.
16. Grow your hair out. Don't. Cut. Your. Hair. This. Year.
It's growing out now, and I kinda am starting to miss my long hair with my hoodies and the cold weather coming. Anyway, here's my hair from the other day when one of my hall mates straightened it for me. First time I've straightened it since chopping it off, and I loved it! It was down to my shoulders when flat. I'm hoping by Christmas it'll be just a bit past my shoulders when regular and I'll be able to start putting it up in fun ways again :)

17. Be a better friend.
Working on it; always room for improvement. I've had to start being a good friend to a lot of new people, which is a hard thing to do, but has been so rewarding. Working on still being a good friend to my FAM, and it's tricky at times, with everyone so busy and schedules clashing or just not available. But they're true friends, so I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out.
18. Be bolder with the Gospel.
'I haven't gone evangelizing or anything like that this year unfortunately, but I've tried to be more bold with bringing up the Gospel and the Lord in day to day conversation, and I think I can say I've gotten better at that. '
19. Write on paper sometimes.
'Oh my goodness, the wonders of doing this. It's a beautiful thing, a blank sheet of paper and a sharpened pencil. Doesn't get much better than that. '
20. Keep a journal.
Oh my goodness gracious. I journal almost every day, and it's the only way I really vent my feelings these days. With the stress and crazies of this new experience, my journal is plumping up fast.
21. Invest in other people more.
Definitely been working on this with lots of new people and friends coming into my life.
22. Go on a mission trip.
How I miss the Bahamas.
23. Get more sleep this semester.

23. Get more sleep this semester.
Um, yeah, so I wish I could go back to the way things were in this area last time I posted....cause I get 6-7 hours, or less some nights, and it's killer. Need. Sleep.
24. Paint your nails sometimes.
So my nails somehow got stained yellow while on vacation with my Squirrel, and look kinda nasty, so I've been keeping them painted, which is kinda fun.
25. Be happy.
26. Knit one garment for yourself this year.
'So....I had almost gotten most of it done....and then the pattern started speaking another language. Maybe I'll finish it some other time. *sigh*'
27. Start saving money for the future.
Thank you graduation money donators...especially now that I'm in college. You have kept me from starving at midnight.
28. Start an inspirational notebook.
'Hmm.. I had forgotten about this. Still want to do it though!'
29. Wear scarves more often.
IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF FALL TODAY AND AFTER FALL BREAK OR THANKSGIVING I GET TO GET MY FALL CLOTHES AND SCARVES I'M SO HAPPY.
30. Be. Patient.
'This is going to be one of those life long struggles. BUT I WANT TO FIX IT NOW.'
31. Don't worry about things you have no control over.
'Pretty good about this, but nobody can remain completely stress free all the time. If you're stressed it means you're concerned about something. But yeah, I'd say I'm a good balance these days.'
32. Blog more.
I actually have another blog post or two planned, SO THERE.
33. Get your arm patched up.
The scar is even fading! Though, you know, it's kinda a part of who I am by now I feel like ;)
34. Go to prom and party.
'WE CAME. WE SAW. WE PARTIED HARD. And then we went for ice cream and watched the Matrix. The end. ' <3
35. Start the new writing curriculum.
'Haven't finished the first draft of the other yet.'
