I'm not one for new years resolutions, they just do not work for me. I would rather just let the year happen, and whatever I do, whatever happens, will happen. Last year was a very large mixture of emotions and happenings for me. Quite frankly, I don't want to remember some parts, I don't want to dwell on others, and the nice bits, they can stay there too. This year, I want things to change. What I do know is, is that I'm living with someone really great and I'm comfortable in that. I have a job and I can afford to do things. I am going to University and even though this is a difficult foundation year, I'm doing well, and I just have to get through from now until June, and then hopefully I'll have passed to get onto my first year. I have the greatest family and friendship group and I couldn't ask for a better bunch of people to get to spend my time with. I'm getting on with getting myself back to 'happy' and that's also a big step and it seems to be doing the trick too. 

What I do know is, this year, I have to focus on doing things that make me happy. One of my biggest flaws I've learnt from last year, is that I spend most of my time worrying about other people, and not paying any attention to myself. If I do, it's usually a negative thought about myself. This year, that will not be happening. Or at least I'm going to try! 

I was reading a blog earlier and they had written down some things that make them happy. So I thought I would do the same. Obviously, this list is tiny compared to absolutely everything that makes me happy, but it's just a few things that came to mind for right now. 

To be honest, I can't believe it's already the 13th January already. But I'm going to try and do as much this year, in the free time I do have in between work & uni, with the best people. Hangs, adventures, times in the pub, meals out, cinema times, getting creative, movie nights.. whatever it is, I don't want to miss any moments this year by being down in the dumps. 

Here's my happy list! 

· singing musical soundtracks when i'm home alone

· the famalam 

· cosy nights in with lauren, dressed like grannys, in mismatched pjs, watching one direction videos 

· the proud feeling i get when i've passed an assignment or test in uni 

· ski trips: there's nowhere i've ever felt more comfortable, the atmosphere, the smells, the company, it's the best holiday feeling ever

· not knowing what this year is going to bring, not waiting for things to happen, things will happen when they are meant to

· getting in contact with people who you've not spoken to in a while 

· face timing family 

· a cold can of coke

· getting urges to be really creative again 

· having the help to get me happy again 

· days when you have no plans, but then get to see your favourites

· lush perfume 'karma' 

· going to the cinema 

· my bed 

· neil the sloth from the goggle box advert 

Clearly, as I said, this is most definitely not everything. By any means. 

Wether you have made resolutions, made goals, whatever, I hope this year is good to you all!
