Now that the new year is approaching, isn't it about time to reflect on this past year and make some new resolutions for the year yet to come?
Let me think about my resolutions for this year.
Learning for the Abitur exams did work out very well. I passed with excellent grades, so I'd say I've completely stuck to this resolution.
I've tried to be nicer and more understanding, especially towards my parents, but it didn't quite go as well as I hoped it would. Just a few days ago I got really angry about someone's behaviour for example. I'd say there's still room for improvement here.
I haven't been able to spend much more time with my friends. I've had my first birthday party after years this year though (the last one was when I turned 10) and I've invited my friends from school. It was weird how our lives had already changed so drastically just a few months after we graduated and it was really nice talking to them all again.
I think I've spent a fair amount of time on sewing and crafting this year, although I probably should have spent a lot more time on that. I've made my first bralette this year, some interesting shopping bags (which I'm planning to make another bunch of soon), ... I bought a knitting machine, did some fun stuff with it (but I haven't really had the time and patience to continue for a while now). I think this year was somewhat crafty. My plan for 2019 is to craft a bit more during the phases at college, because I haven't really had any diversion.
I've done a lot more sports. I've done sit ups, push ups and crunches, starting with ten of each, increasing to a hundred a day over several weeks and continued to do a hundred of them until the end of June. After that, I confessed that it didn't have any positive impact on my weight or the way I felt and I stopped doing that because I hated it and it had made me feel anxious all day. I continued walking as many of my daily routes as I could though, for example to school or the grocery store. So that should be fine.
I've eaten slowly most of the time. This results in eating less and as soon as you've eaten less for a few weeks, it's okay for your body to demand less food. At least that's the theory. I lost about 7kg within the four months that I spent at college, but I gained three back immediately after returning home. I'm still having a hard time trying to eat less, it's really nasty that I'm always hungry..!

Summing it up, I think Ihve handled the resolutions for 2018 quite well. So let's see what I want to change in 2019!
I'll try to panick less because of exams. I can't go on like that for two and a half years until I'm finally done with all the exams forever.
I should try to think more positively about my future. Things will turn out to be good eventually. I've been thinking about starting a different course of studies, but that would mean that my first year at college would be wasted.
As I already said, I'll try to take my time to craft a bit more during college phases. Maybe it'll help manage my panic as well.
And of course I'll try to lose some weight, as always :D

Thank you for sharing your reflections on 2018, and you’ve achieved so many great things in this year. Congratulations on accomplishing excellent grades in your Abitur examinations. It’s also terrific that you had a birthday party and were reunited with your friends from school. It seems that the birthday party went well too. Also, it’s fantastic that you worked on crafts and that you worked on your fitness and nutrition as well.
ReplyDeleteYour goals for 2019 seem highly attainable in relation to being more composed and optimistic, undertaking more craft activities and shedding more weight. As for being nicer and more empathetic, is this even possible? Well done on a successful 2018, and I wish you a prosperous and happy 2019 as well. Happy New Year Cooki!
