Aims.

So I'm just under a week into my first week of lectures. Here's a few aims I have for this year, and as they're out in the public eye then hopefully I'll be motivated to keep to them!



1. Get a First in something. I'd like for it to be in Applied Drama or TIE/DIE and Children's Theatre, but getting one in anything is my main aim.

2. Attend all my lectures. Last year I missed two or three out of illness, and then slept through a few after I started working. This will not happen this year! I will be awake!!

3. Try my absolute hardest in all my lectures. I was working at about 75% last year, and I am determined to get to 90%! (Not 100%, I'll need that for my FYP.)

4. Keep my friends and appreciate them more. I don't want to wake up in the middle of semester two and realise all my friends hate me because I've never been there. I am a good friend and I know I am.

5. Keep on top of the house work. A lame one, I know, but I need to make sure that the house is beautiful and sparkly for all the friends I will be keeping to come and see!

6. Budget better. I refuse to spend all my money on things I don't actually need. It's not necessary, I'm just an impulse spender, and I'm shit. I work hard for my money. I should put it towards things I want and deserve. Like holidays and buzzing nights out.

7. Eat well and be healthy. So many people have noticed that I lost weight over summer, the last thing I want is to pile it back on through too many Domino's or one pint of purple I could have swapped for water. Fresh fruit is going to be a key component, and I must cut down on my snacking!!

8. See my boyfriend as much as I can. The last two weeks have been difficult, what with work and Fresher's Crew and the start of my lectures. But I don't want us to grow apart, because he's been the one thing in my life the last two years that has never changed, or doubted me, or said a harsh word. He's absolutely fabulous.

9. Be true to myself. Don't take anyone's shit, brush off what I don't need and make sure that I stand up for what I believe in. My biggest trouble is asking for help when I need it; and this year, I want to do it right.

10. Enjoy myself. Life is for the living, and we're a long time dead.
