I resolve.

Monthlaaaay Resolutions!

I've seen some bloggers do it before, and I always enjoyed reading about their journey in growing and setting goals. It wasn't for me, however. "Too legalistic." "Don't obey the schedule, make the schedule obey you" or whatever. I realize now, though, that I was living in a mediocre mindset (more on that later).

I need goals. Goals compel you to strive. To reach further. I'm all for spontaneity, but sometimes one must plan to live before one actually does the thing.

So that is why I am starting monthly resolutions. We're a week into April already, but I'll still be doing April resolutions. They will mostly be based on what I have been trying to do or have been thinking about doing in the past week and before that.

I am going to make a point of not including anything school-related into these monthly posts, because while school is a big part of my life, it isn't the most important. I feel often as if the way I approach the workload part of school takes away some of my quality of life (indeed, at some points it has taken all of it). I don't want it weaseling it's way into these goals that will allow me to grow as a person, not merely a scholar in the world of grades and papers and percentages.

I also won't be assigning a terribly large amount to myself each month. I know what I'm capable of, and I also know how it feels when I hardly get anything done on any given to-do list or checklist of goals. 

So, without further ado, my resolutions for (the rest of) April. I only have two this time, and they might seem generic, but I feel that I can really grow in these areas and I am excited to start working on them. They may or may not become recurring goals in future months. At the end of each month, I will post a sort of recap to let you all know how I did.

happy tuesday to you. :)
