Good bye 2014.. Hello 2015!

Now I can't exactly say this year has been a bad one because it has been full of amazing experiences and I have no regrets but at the same time I am ready to welcome 2015 with open arms, WIDE open arms. I've decided to do a recap of 2014 because not only is it nice to think over all the times I had this year, but I can share it with you guys because I started my blog over halfway through the year so yeah! Having thought about it I don't want to share the lows but just know there were some! 

2014

• University offers - So I got offers for the universities I really wanted to go to, and even though I didn't go to university I'm still happy I got those offers. To me it meant that they thought I was potentially good enough to go to the universities. Whether that's something that would give others comfort I don't know but it makes me happy! (Similarly I found out I had enough UCAS points to go to both my choices of uni)
• Exam Results - So on the 14th of august like most 18 year olds in the UK I was waiting with bated breath to find out my exam results.. I was really happy with them because I had passed all of my exams, while I never got even close to an A (maybe not even a B) I was still happy because as hard as I worked I didn't think I'd have passed anything so to have passed I was just really happy!
• 18 - So this year is the year that all of my friends turned 18 (minus 1 who was already 18) and it meant there were lots of 18th birthday parties and then after I had turned 18 - great nights out! 
• My Blog - So obviously this is a good part of my year.. I started my blog and have now been writing it for 4 months (and a bit) so Im still relatively new but I'm amazed at how far its come already.. I'm not too far off of 100 followers which to me in 4 months is great!

So this has been the main highlights of my 2014 and I mean the big things (my memory isn't the best so there are tonnes more that I can't think of) but I hope you all had a great 2014 and that 2015 is just as good if not better!

As a little footnote I'd like to add that in 2015 I would like my readers (while few.. I know you exist!) to interact more.. I would love for more readers to be leaving comments and things purely to put a name to a number! To try and kick start this I would like you to leave in the comments - what you enjoyed about 2014.. or your new years resolutions. Also don't be afraid of self promotion, if you have a blog leave me the link.. I'm always looking for more blogs to read!

New Years Resolutions #newyearnewme?

Okay so today is the 29th meaning its 2 days until new years eve, so what better idea is there than to share with you my resolutions.. I'm not going to lie I don't tend to make that many resolutions because I end up forgetting about them by the end of January but I've figured if its up on line then what excuse do I have to not do them? So yeah.. lets go!

1. Just like every year I would like to try and reach my goal weight which I haven't decided on yet but I guess I'll know when I'm happy with what I see!
2. I want to have done my 19 before 19 obviously because I'll turn 19 but yeah I want to have done it I'll make sure I keep you updated on how I go with that haha!
3. Take my dog for more walks.. to be honest she's not the walking dog like she is happy enough not going for walks and she'd rather not but I think it'll be good for both of us!
4. I want to do more with my friends as a group.. I mean they say you start the year as you mean to go on and I shall be with them (give or take a few) and we'll be drinking so what does that tell you about my year ahead?
5. The next resolution is to eat healthier, I eat so much crap at the moment and I don't eat properly either like I don't eat breakfast all the time because I can't always be bothered. 
6. I want to see my family more, I don't spend enough time with my family at all I only really see like my immediate family and I should spend more time with the rest because there are so many things going on but I don't know much about it all because I'm so out of the loop with it all!
7. I want to start taking care of myself more like not just the way I eat but my sleeping pattern, what I do in a day (cause I can tell you it isn't alot)
8. I want to start getting out of my comfort zone, like theres not a lot I'll do on my own, the furthest I go on my own (if I don't have to be on my own) is the town centre which isn't very far away just to let you know. 

So I think for me this is a lot of resolutions, like I don't usually make this many but because I'm writing a post about it I've thought about it a lot more than I would usually and this is stuff I know that I can do and they're realistic as long as I try (and I will try)! I hope 2015 is extremely good to you all Happy new year!
