This year, instead of a new years resolutions which I would give up on in only a few weeks, I decided to make a bucket list instead. Even though we're already almost a month into the new year, I encourage you to do the same. The advantage to a bucket list over regular resolutions is that you can't mess it up in only a week. Your chances aren't lost until later on in the year. You have 365 days to meet your goals. For inspiration, read mine:
1. Write 50 blog posts (roughly one a week)
2. Work out 100 days (roughly twice per week)
3. Read 25 Books (roughly one every two weeks, 2)
4. Learn to play Disney songs on the Ukulele
5. Earn a Scholarship for the next school year
6. Become an RA at my University
7. Introduce Emily to 5 nice guys
8. Meet 50 new people (roughly one a week)
9. Do 50 acts of kindness (roughly one a week)
10. Join a Biblestudy
I'm sure I'll find lots more things to add to this list as the year goes on, as well as work on my list for next year. As you can see my bucket list ranges for easy goals to much more difficult ones. Also, I like using numbers like 25, 50, and 100. These work well, if you estimate based on the year being 300 days, it's easy to figure out how often you need to complete the action (in typical new years resolution fashion) but gives you those extra days just in case you mess up. Even if you do mess up, never give up!
