Happy New year everyone, I can't quite believe that it is 2015 - how time fly's! 2014 went by so quickly, it almost felt as if it never happened. As it is the beginning of the year, I decided that my post should be on reflections from last year and resolutions for this year.
Not a lot really happened to me in 2014 but there are a few significant events that happened:
1. I completed my AS Levels
Admittedly my first year of college wasn't that great as I was finding the work too hard and I felt like I was getting no where. It was definitely tough, but I did manage to get a few qualifications with it!
2. Starting Childcare
Leading on from my first year of college I decided to start over and join a 2 year Childcare course, as working with children is what I have always wanted to do. So far I am loving it, and the style of the course being only coursework, suits me much better. I even managed to get an A for my first unit... Only 14 more units to go! After this course I am not quite sure what I want to do. I have always wanted to be a primary teacher, but the idea of going to university doesn't particularly entice me... or I would like to be a teaching assistant too! So I certainly have a lot to think about over the next 2 years!
3. 2 years anniversary with my boyfriend!
I am so happy to have such a wonderful boyfriend, I couldn't ask for anything more. He makes me so happy and I feel really comfortable around him too. He is the best thing that has happened to me and I hope there are many more years to come!
Those are just a few significant things that happened in 2014... now onto my resolutions for 2015:
1. Save money
When it comes to saving money, I can be quite bad. I always go shopping and end up buying a number of things that I "love" but really don't need. This year I would love to go on holiday with my boyfriend, so therefore I need to save... A LOT! I know deep down that I can do it... I just need to stop visiting New Look every week. By saving for a holiday, hopefully it will help with my saving habits for the long term.
2. Be more confident
I am not the most outgoing person you could ever meet, as I can get very anxious about practically everything. I have always been shy, never putting my hand up in class or leading a conversation, but I am slowly getting better. This year I want to challenge myself, and do things I have never done before.
3. Learn to drive
Leading on from becoming more confident, I have been a bit too anxious about getting in a car and driving it. I turned 17 last year, and loads of people I know have already passed their test. Seeing everyone else doing it makes me want to do it even more, but it's just nerves stopping me! Therefore I am hoping to kill 2 birds with one stone here, and become more confident by learning to drive. I may not pass my test this year, but taking some lessons is a start!
There you have it, my New Years resolutions, so wish me luck! What are yours?
