HAPPY NEW YEAR!! May 2016 treat you well :)
They say to never look back unless it's to see how far you've come.
One word to describe 2015: overwhelming.
So many things happened this year, a lot of it bad. But because I survived all of it, I'm stronger now :)
This blog post is for me to look back at 2015 and remember the GOOD times, not the bad ones.
I have a happy/memory jar and I'd like to share the pleasant memories I had this year for me to look back and recall these happenings.

27th: Splashing by the pool, baking vegan 'cookies', Praise & Worship with friends!! So fun :)))
And I think the first half of the year was terrible so that I could get the negativity out of my system. So that the crucial second half of the year would be smoother for me. Maybe everything that happened was inevitable and it was only a matter of when.
I'm pretty sure there are more great, happy happenings but I forgot to write it down and add it to the jar. Anyway, I guess I should also take this chance to post my goals and resolutions for the new year!
Study hard and be an all-rounder
It's going to be really challenging but I want to be able to juggle work and play well. I want to prioritise the right things and have good time management. I want to stay on to of assignments and homework. I want and hope to become an awesome all-rounder in 2016 :)

Be more confident so that I can help more people
I stumble and find it hard to say things when I console people. I want to be able to eloquently say what I want to say :) I believe that I can help but words get stuck in my throat and it's frustrating. When my words actually manage to come out, it sounds ridiculous.
So in 2016, I want to be more confident so that I can help others to the best of my ability.

Make new friends, stay true to myself and have fun
I would like to believe that I'm pretty crazy with my friends :) I just have so much fun when I'm with them and I love them dearly! Secondary school ended and the next chapter of my life begins. this means meeting new people and forging new friendships (of course I'll still be keeping in touch with my precious Secondary school friends). I hope to be able to stay the way I am and be true to myself with the new friends I make. I want to have fun in 2016!

Improve football (soccer) by leaps and bounds
I officially started football training in December 2015. I plan to join the soccer CCA in which ever post-secondary institute I go to. I want to improve my skills in this fun and beautiful sport :)

Care less about what strangers think of me
"People who mind don't matter and people who matter don't mind."
I care a lot (too much) about what others think of me. I guess I want to let go of that worry and just find those people who matter to me and stick with them :) And not bother about those who mind me being vegan, weird, etc. (what ever they think I am).
Cook more (vegan, of course) Source: tumblr
Before After
Volunteer and grab opportunities
I'm usually the type to wait for things to happen or waits to be called up. I don't like risks nor feeling vulnerable. But in 2016, I want to volunteer and raise my hand more in classes etc. I want to take action and do more, think less. I'd also really like to volunteer and do charity whenever I can :)

Say Yes
I don't like feeling vulnerable or out of my comfort zone so I want to challenge myself this new year. I want to take chances and big leaps of faith. I'll be trying to say more 'yes' and less 'nah'.

I'm quite capable of entertaining myself but I do get very lonely at times. I'm hoping to be able to be so comfortable with myself that I don't have to rely on others to be my sunshine.
Plus, I'll be going to a coed school next year. That means boy drama so I need to remind myself that I'm a strong, independent woman.

That's all for this post! I'm totally ready and excited for 2016 :))
Bye for now and see you next year!!
