So far, I have come up with:
1. Go the the gym. At least once.
I tackled my parents about the whole gym membership thing and my Dad just said “Well how about you spend less money on food and spend it on a membership instead?” which basically means he has no faith in me because I’m fat and lazy. Cheers pap. I don’t actually spend that much money on food, and the food I eat is genuinely healthy, though I am a little squishy round the edges.
I do actually have every intention of going to the gym, whether its a resolution or not, however, as most of my house mates go and all I would have to do is whack on a sports bra and hop in a car and they would drive me there. Then I could faff about on the cross-trainer for a while and gawp at all the other girls’ fit, toned bottoms (something I will never have). I’ve recently lost a 4kg completely out the blue and this has inspired me to try and look like this:
Oh Miranda. You’re great. She’s even had a baby and still looks like this. How is that even possible!? I think another one could be:
2. Get up earlier.
I waste far too much time in bed and I realised, when I do get up early, just how much you can actually get done in a day! Sleeping is one of my favourite things to do and it’s awful that Oli’s halls are so close to my where the Music Department is as I treat his bed as a little nest I can snuggle in when I have an hour to kill between lectures (whether he’s there or not!). I love the mornings in Newcastle too, wintery sunshine is so beautiful… it’s just the horizontal rain and freezing wind which make some of the mornings hell. Getting stuff done is so much more appealing when the days start sunny side up.
3. Get back in touch with old friends.
This is one I’ve literally just thought of. I think staying in touch is pretty important actually, and these days, what with Facebook and texting, it’s just so EASY… and yet I’m shit at it. I think it would be nice to get back in touch with some people I used to be so close to, and find out what’s going on in their life... and just catch up! I think there’s a lot you can learn from other people and the things they have to say. I miss a lot of people and all I would have to do is drop them a quick email to speak to them again.
4. Get better at cooking.
I’m not awful, I can cook. Oli and are actually quite good at it… it’s just I’m lazy and my housemates are so good at it they just end up doing it all. Whilst I don’t mind doing all the washing up (I find it bizarrely therapeutic!?) I would like to improve my culinary skills and wow everyone’s tastebuds with some yummy meals. I have to admit though, that there was this one time where Millie and I cooked a stir fry for everyone... and it was going great until Sophie suggested that we used up her noodles rather than buying fresh ones! It was only when everyone sat down to eat, and found that the food tasted like stale piss, that we looked at the packet and realised they went off in 2006. Went down a treat. NOT. I don’t know why we didn’t think to check if they were in date when they were in a solid block covered in slimey green goo, and we had to mash them up in the pan to get them to cook... hmm…. maybe I’m not such a good cook after all!
I don’t know, I’m running out of ideas now, thinking up resolutions is actually quite hard as it's difficult to strike the balance between something achievable and still actually having a goal. Maybe I’ll come up with some more at a later date, but for now I’m going to try and stick to these.
