NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

obliviousally_ljI know I've said in the past that I just don't make them. This year, however, I feel like I'm going to set some believeable goals/resolutions for myself. I've learned a lot this year and a lot of it had to do with living on my own and managing money. I know if I want to continue having a place of my own and being happy that I need to set myself some sort of, I don't know, something.
Also, the last couple months, I've been really unhappy with my body. Like, it's not this sudden OMG I'M AN OBESE MUTANT or something, but I tend to eat my feelings/stress-eat and this is the first time it's been really obvious because I put on some weight all of a sudden (it's really not even that much, probably less than 10 or 15lbs, but I don't own a scale, soooo...). Before, when I'd be stressed or want to stuff my face, I didn't have the money to. Now that I have the EBT card, I'm capable of buying food and there's always food in the house, which doesn't help my little problem at all. I'm definately pudgier, though and while it doesn't bother me when I'm loafing around the house half naked (or completely nude), it does bother me when I can't fit comfortably into my favorite clothes. I'd like to get down a little below my former weight (which was around 140lbs, I think), really. I know a lot of that is 'winter weight', too. Because I eat so much baked stuff and candy in the wintertime it's not even funny. So I know when the weather breaks, I'll be walking more and getting more exercise.
So! My resolutions in no particular order:
Now, as an aside, I saw final grades were up and............
A FUCKING A IN MY VCD CLASS. I CANNOT EVEN. I DON'T KNOW HOW I ENDED UP WITH THAT, I WAS EXPECTING (and not pleased about) A B, BUT AN A IS AMAZNG AND DLFKGDLKGHDLGK. Also, SO thankful I passed my Art History class. It's not the grade I would have liked, but being so terrible with dates, it could have been a lot worse.

So! My resolutions in no particular order:
- Go to the rec center on campus at least twice a week (on the days I have class), start walking when the weather gets nice.
- Don't slack on ANY classes. I want to be able to take some of the elective/special topic classes and declare a major by next fall.
- Keep a steady job, preferably one that pays enough to cover all the bills. I don't want to work two jobs if I don't have to.
- BUDGET. No more of this 'oh god, where's rent money?!?' and begging for commissions/loans/whatever from friends and family.
- More art. MORE ART. Any and all. Hopefully drawing class will help with this. Hopefully.
Now, as an aside, I saw final grades were up and............
