You may be thinking this is a one-month countdown to Christmas, but it's actually a one-month countdown to my 25th birthday! Yes, I am a Christmas baby (No, it's not cool. No, I don't get double the presents!)
With my golden birthday around the corner (25 on the 25th), there's a lot that I've been putting into perspective. There's a lot that I thought I would accomplish by 25 that didn't happen, but instead of letting that bring me down, I'm going to use it as fuel to push me towards bettering myself for this last month.
Things I want to accomplish before 25!
1. Get healthy
Who doesn't want to look amazing on their birthday? I must admit, I definitely fell off the healthy train these last few months. I just feel too lazy to workout or eat clean. I need to toughen up and push myself to workout and cook healthy meals again. This would give me a headstart to my fake new year's resolution (that I always fail at :P)2. Save money!
Saving money has always been a challenge for me. I don't have a splurging problem, but I definitely have a spending problem. I love going out to eat or spending my money on others which are very bad habits. I recently worked election day and let me tell you, that might've been a quick way to make money- but it was NOT easy! I earned that money with a lot of hard work and painful hours of standing on my feet (17hours). Once that check comes in, it will take every fiber of my being not to touch it. But I will try my best to put it away and spend it on a gift for myself or my parents (not on food >.<)3. Produce more blog posts/videos
I am very proud of how much I blogged and vlogged this year, but it still seems subpar to what I initially aimed for. With this last month ahead of myself, I want to go full throttle and put out new posts and videos every single week. It may be tough with the holidays and busy time of year, but I truly have no excuse. The sense of accomplishment after hitting the "publish" button is an indescribable feeling of success, and I definitely need that before hitting the big 2-5.4. Get a job
It's no secret that I've been job hunting for two years now. But the last few months, I haven't been trying as hard because I was reaching a point of mental exhaustion. I needed to take some time off and recuperate. Now that I am feeling better, it's time to put all my time and energy into finding a job. I need to dedicate these next few weeks into really selling myself to employers so they can consider me fit for whatever I apply to. It's been a tough journey, but nothing will come out of moping around and wishing for a job. If you really want something, you have to chase it. And now it is crunch time!5. Enjoy every step of the way
I really thought I would have my shit together by the time I turned 25. Boy, was I wrong. It's not like I intentionally didn't get to the point that I want to be, life just doesn't always work out how we expect it to. But instead of being miserable and depressed, I want to shift my perspective. I want to enjoy every moment of every day that I have on this earth. Maybe 25 will be the year that I DO get my shit together. I spent a lot of my 20s being sad and affected by insignificant people or situations. This midway mark through my 20s should stand as a reminder that I don't have to bring that energy into my adulthood.I'm actually excited to plan something for my birthday this year! It's going to be tough since a lot of my friends celebrate Xmas. But where there's a will, there's a way! Something will eventually work out. I just can't wait to get glammed up and celebrate with people I love!
