reviewing my goals {’22} // happy new year!🥳

i’m writing this post at midnight, on the 25th of december ~ while listening to AM by one direction. so, merry christmas everyone!! although by the time this is posted, it’ll be days after christmas.🎄 oh hi, i’m back. it is now new year’s eve, and i just got back from an awesome trip! read about it on my travel blog.

i didn’t have the time to do a redesign for the holiday season, so here’s the header image i usually use during this season. so, at the beginning of this year, i made a post writing about the goals i wanted to accomplish this year. and, i’ll be reviewing them today! (a.k.a seeing how badly i did on keeping up each of them – wait where’s the optimism)🤨

---

: ̗̀➛ school goals

♡ be at the top of my class✔️ – yess, i achieved this goal a number of times! i came first in my grade thrice this year. my grades have improved a lot.

♡ take notes regularly✔️ – yep, i did do this but not that consistently. now, i don’t really bother about my notes being “aesthetic”. they just have to look neat and be helpful for studying.

♡ spend more time learning, rather than studying✔️ – i guess? i definitely used a lot of different study methods for exams this year and sometimes, studying didn’t feel like a burden to me. sometimes.

♡ get over 90% in all my exams✔️ – yes, the highest score i got so far was 97.50% (total mark) and in individual subjects too, i got over 95% mostly.

♡ play a sport in school / be a part of a sports team✔️ – okay i actually didn’t expect i would fulfill this goal?? but i was in 3 sports teams – throwball, handball and kho-kho. i was a substitute in the first two matches, but it was still fun! and yes, i still play volleyball in school. it’s a lot of fun.

SO, it’s great that i achieved all my school goals! this has been a great academic year.

: ̗̀➛ self growth

♡ read a lot of books & read before bed everyday❌ – well, i did read a lot this year (59 books) but i didn’t read before everyday. plus, i still failed my reading goal..

♡ spend time with my dog (Oreo)✔️ – yep, definitely. oreo is too cute to ignore ;))

♡ learn a new language❌ – i ..didn’t. i haven’t practiced learning spanish in so long and i didn’t make an effort for most of this year.

♡ write in my journal on a regular basis✔️ – sort of? i wrote in my diary, and in my journal quite regularly, once in one or two weeks.

♡ learn to play the guitar❌ – heh, i didn’t get my guitar fixed either. i like pretending to play a song on the guitar and sing along to it, when i’m really just strumming random strings.

i did pretty bad on these goals..but i’ll focus more on them in 2023.

: ̗̀➛ health & fitness

♡ follow a steady workout routine❌- i do workouts whenever i feel like it, it could just be an impulse to finally start exercising more. i did try to learn some dance choreographies, just for fun. but i didn’t have a steady workout routine, just for like 4 days in january. but after that, nothing.

♡ try and eat healthier & drink a lot of water❌✔️ – well, i did drink a LOT of water but definitely didn’t eat healthier.

♡ get 8 hours of sleep every night – i think i have a pretty okay sleep schedule.. but maybe i need to start sleeping early to actually wake up on time for school. the number of times i’ve missed the school bus, is um..well, a lot.

♡ practice rollerskating✔️ – yeah, i did for the most part.. but i lost my skating bag this month and i think someone might’ve taken it. (i lost it at school) and i’m really sad about it.. i really liked rollerskating and those wheels cost a lot. but, maybe i’ll get new ones..? 😦

: ̗̀➛socials & blogging

♡ blog consistently❌✔️ – i did on the first half of 2022, then when exams started, i had no time or the motivation. but, i tried to catch up with posts during holidays so i guess that counts? i posted 42 times this year, including this. that’s quite low compared to the past couple years though.

♡ interact with the blogging community & be updated with the reader❌✔️– well, whenever i had the time, i did, read posts and write comments but overall, not that much. i’ll try to stay more connected though.

♡ practice graphic designing & digital illustrations✔️ – yes, i did that sometimes. i’ve not completely lost touch with it, so i guess that counts? you can get your own digital portrait made by me by visiting this page :))

♡ upload videos on oreo’s youtube channel at least 2-3 times a month❌ – well, i uploaded 2 videos and 13 shorts on oreo’s channel . that’s..ok. but it definitely wasn’t 2-3 times a month, or that consistent. but, it was fun and some of the shorts got decent views, so i’m happy with that.

♡ collab with bloggers often❌ – let’s see, i did 4 collabs throughout the entirety of this year. that’s not a lot.. but it was nice doing the collabs i did.

didn’t do that well on blogging goals.. but i tried. that counts for something, right?

hm, well, i did pretty okay on most of these goals. but i see some room for improvement in blogging and my food habits, and practicing my hobbies more often. to read a wrap up of this year, click here!
