I'm half in the mood to write so..

New Year's Resolutions Are Bullshit!

Firstly, that's just my opinion.Secondly, it really is true.


As you can guess, I am not the biggest fan of New Year's Resolutions. Along with other things, making these promises to yourself, when you know you're going to fail is just.. why bother?! You know there is a high chance of failing, but you still have it in your head that this year is different. This year, you're going to make a chart, make a routine, write down your list of things you're going to do by the end of the year and boom, after about 3 months max. you're back on the couch, eating a jar of Nutella with your fingers little a toddler.

I see these resolutions / tasks like I see Valentine's Day. It's useless and you can do it, and start, any and every other day of the year. Why be romantic to your partner on 17th February when you literally have 365 days to buy them flowers, chocolates and take them out to a nice dinner. Why does it have to be that one day that you can only do that? Same with resolutions that you make on 1st January. Why January 1st? Is it because it's easy to say that you started on Jan. 1? Probably yes. But still.

If you are still wondering if I have things I want to do before the end of the year, no, I don't. I do have a list of things I wouldn't mind doing, but I'm not making it my year's quest do lost 20kg and read 30 books and travel to Iceland.

Make a list of challenges that you think you can possibly accomplish, not anything crazy, but more simple things that you can do on a more daily basis and start from there. Right now I'm thinking for me:

  1. Read one full book a month.
  2. Save all the money I can.
  3. Try and work towards getting confidence to get a job.
  4. Excersice via skipping
Simple enough list I guess, I make no promises that I'll stick to it and I'm also not setting an end date because fuck that shit!

Anyway,
I hope you can do what you can in 2015 and have the best of luck!

To go, or not to go? That is NOT the question!!

I had to make a new blog on this bloody site because everything I would log out of Blogger to log in to my account that I actually use, Google was all like, yep, nope! And then I was ll like, HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO I NEED TO LOG OUT AND LOG IN TO MY ACCOUNT TO MAKE IT WORK?!? And I still not able to get to it so.. >:/ Fucking Google, I swear, I do like you Google but for fuck sake!

ANYWAYS!!

So, I MAY be going to NSW, Australia in the next two months for a few day period with my boyfriend for a wedding. The good news is, if we do go, I'll look nice. That $100 dress I bought for $20 will FINALLY come in handy. The bad news is that we're poor and we may not be able to make it. Out finances are fairly tight as it is right now, and what ever were get that isn't important, comes out of our food money, which normally ends up being about $40 to $100 a fortnight. (To feed 2 people. It's ALOT of pasta bolognese) I did a quick Google search, using WebJet.com.au for flights, and Trivago.com.au for hotels, I worked out it'll cost us anywhere between $400 to $600 for maybe 4 days in Melbourne, with no spending money, and I didn't even add for dinners either. So it'll may more of a $600 trip, that we don't have money for, that I do want money for, but I doubt we will have money for. I don't think we'll be able to raise $600 in a 2 month period. I am selling a few things, but even if they were to sell, it would be less then $100, so that doesn't make much of a dent in that.
I went on Google, as you do, to see how to raise $500 in a 2 month period. The one artical that I actually read, about half of to be honest was one called: 3 Ways to Earn and Extra $500 on the Side, by Courtney Johnston. It was interesting. One of the things that is suggested to think of 50 things that you're good at, things you know how to do. So I opened up notepad and numbered it 1 to 5. This is what I got:
1: Math
2: Cleaning
3: Basic computer skills
4:
5:
That's a long list.. I can't use that. I can't teach people anything, or clean houses for busy housewives looking after babies. Not worth it.

A bit after, I read a bit of an artical or two about ghostwritting and I'm not doing that so.. I'm fucked, we're fucked, everyone is fucked.
