6 Non-Bookish Goals
1. Read 100 books. I didn't come close to 150, which I set last year. I talk a little more about that when I do my 2014 End of the Year Book Survey I'll publish later this week or early next week.
2. Do at least 2 reading challenges. I did a read-a-thon two years ago and really enjoyed it (especially the productive feeling afterwards), but never did anything of the sort last year. This year I'd like to do a series challenge of some sort and another reading challenge!
3. Go to BEA. I mean it this time!
- 3.5 Meet blogger friends. This is an accordance of the above one and just like last year, I hope to do it.
4. Finish series. Evertrue, Into the Still Blue, and Curtsies & Conspiracies (and the third book) are just a few books I need to read from series I enjoyed.
5. For the love of cupcakes, read at least two books a month and make sure there's at least two blog posts a week. This is especially during college.
6. Comment more on other blogs. I have been completely slacking this year and while I read others' blog posts, I never end up commenting. That has got to change.
5 Non-Bookish Goals
1. Get back into senior shape. As in, high school senior. After graduating and finishing basketball (my main source of activity), I've lost my stamina, but gained something else, if you know what I mean. This is such a generic goal, so I'll also put find healthy options at the dining hall and regular things to do at the gym.
2. Discover a solution for my esophageal problems. More like go to the doctor and wait for him to tell me what to do. But then I'll do it, no matter how hard it is (like cutting out a favorite food). So by this time next year, I'll be like "esophageal what?" and "be in pain for two hours every night? Me? Say what?"
3. Get an internship. I won't be too worried if I don't accomplish this because I have time (somewhat), but I'm sure going to try.
4. Volunteer. I was too busy to do it last semester, but there's a new club at my university that goes to the animal shelter every month. PUPPIES!
5. Grow out my fingernails. For as long as I can remember, I've picked at my fingernails and every year, I want to stop. Hopefully this year I can do it and maintain it (because I've grown them out a couple times, but they always end up short).
What are your goals?
Good luck with your goals. I especially wish you success with your health issues...whatever it takes!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: A Little Nonsense.
Thanks!
DeleteYes read at least two books a month! I should have added that to my goal because the months tend to gly by with me making no reading progress :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT: http://teenyabooknerd.blogspot.com/2014/12/top-ten-goalsresolutions-for-2015.html
Oh my gosh, yes. It was an awful realization for me this past year with school.
DeleteYes, we WILL meet up at BEA! :D And yay volunteering! I'm hoping to find a few more outlets for that this year, too. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you want to grow out your fingernails? Hm, can't say I've heard that before but good luck! (I have to trim mine pretty often because they break and bleed like crazy the second they get long.)
YES YES YES.
DeleteChildhood habit. It's awful. I mean, I HAVE fingernails, but I pick at them (no biting). I don't even realize I do it that often.
Good luck! Yes! I totally understand the growing out fingernail Los issue. I pick mine all the time, and it really needs to stop! I've tried, really I have - it just takes to long for them to grow so I give up on them. I set my goal at 100 books for 2014 and I went just a little over, but I'm starting College later in 2015 and I'm sure that will effect my reading. I feel really bad about it, but I think I'm going with 60 books so I won't feel pressured, with the hope of reading 100.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
No, don't feel bad about 60 books! I actually didn't even read 60 this year, which was an awful realization. But it'll be better now!
DeleteGreat goals! You have a great mix of reading, social, and self-care. Good luck on the health issues -- I hope it's something easy-peasy. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joy!
DeleteBest of luck to you with all of these goals, Summer!! I hope to be at BEA this year too - yay!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI WANT TO MEET YOUUUU
DeleteGood luck with finding your internship and I hope all your health problems will be better <3
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mel!
DeleteGreat goals! I, too, aspire to go to BEA one of these days. I just wish it wasn't SO FAR. But, alas, one of these days it will happen. I hear it's moving to Chicago though? Or maybe that was just a rumour?
ReplyDeleteI also suffer from too many unread series! If you don't mind the shameless plug for a moment, Jessi @ Novel Heartbeat and I are co-hosting a series reading challenge, which might help you to meet two of your goals? If you want to sign up, we'd love to have you participate. We were rather disorganized about it last year, but have resolved to make it more fun this year =)
Yep, it's going to be in Chicago in 2016 :)
Delete#shamelessplug away ;) I'll definitely check it out!
I put finish series on my list as well because I have way to many open series. I am wonderful at starting series but horrible at continuing and finishing them. Not so much continuing but especially finishing them because I don't like when things end and so its hard for me to read a final book in a series. But I am bound and determined to do it more in 2015.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your 2015 goals :D

Thanks, Kimberley!
DeleteThese are some really great resolutions, Summer! It looks like we want to do some of the same things. =) I definitely want to post at least 2 times a week... it gets so hard during school!! I'm also DYING to get a remote internship of some sort, it would be such a dream for me. I hope that it'll happen, but since I'm still in high school I feel like it's going to be pretty hard, so we'll see. ;) Getting in shape is such an important one!! It's so easy to go for the junk food especially when you're studying and in the midst of homework, so I'm aiming to have more healthy snack options within my reach, ESPECIALLY when I'm doing homework.
ReplyDeleteI really hope that you get your health problems sorted out!! Keep us updated. <3
Lovely resolutions! I hope that 2015 is an ah-mazing year for you.
-Aneeqah @ My Not So Real Life
It's VERY hard during school. Good luck with the internship! I know I definitely looked for one during high school, but realized I'd have to wait (I'm so not good at that) until I was in college.
DeleteI fully believe in you and your ability to accomplish all of these goals. I've been seeing your complaints about your esophagus, and the pain sounds terrible - it even sounds like it would be worth cutting out a favorite food to get rid of it. (Don't worry - you can still be co-president of the Bread Lovers Society if you have to give up bread, not that I think you will.) And, of course, I'd be so excited to see you get an internship and/or go to BEA, and volunteering and getting back in shape are also important goals. Good luck, and have a wonderful 2015!
ReplyDeleteI AM NOT GIVING UP BREAD NOPE NO NOT GONNA HAPPEN. It's not a gluten issue or bread or carbs (lovely carbs), because we think it's more acidic (like red sauces and other things we have no clue about). Thanks, Emily!
