1. Be more confident.
I think it's fair to say that for me this resolution is going to be the most important one in 2015 as it's the year I finish school and apply for uni, and the quality of being self-assured can really help you achieve great things in life.
2. Worry less.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person having these two words on my NYR list. 2014 was very hectic and stressful, so I'm hoping to be less of a worrier and more of a warrior and don't let negative thoughts take over my busy head.
3. Be more organised.
And stop procrastinating! This was a huge problem for me last year - not having any plans and doing work at the eleventh hour. I know it's going to be beyond hard, but I'll genuinely try to overcome my laziness this year.
4. Learn to cook.
Now this was my mom's advice and I absolutely agree with her. You see, I'm a big fan of baking: cupcakes, muffins, cookies and brownies are my weakness (though who on earth can live without the gorgeous things?!), and making them brings a lot of joy, but becoming a student means living alone hence cooking is going to be a part of your routine. Surely, the cakes and other sweet things are all good, but unfortunately you can't live off them, so in order to survive every student needs to be able to cook actual food, without having to rush to grab a takeaway. Thanks for the advice mom!
5. Do more of what makes you happy.
I'd like to thank Mr. Alfie Deyes for constantly saying this, as I've decided that the statement is going to be my motto for 2015. Doing the things you love doing can completely change your life in a good way, and in my opinion this is what it's all about - having a great time, the precious time of your life.
