By January 1, 2013

I said I wanted to do something big today, so by God I’m gonna do it :P. I’ve been working on some big changes in my life, and I decided to have it all come to a point in here. Some of them are silly and just random wishes, some of them all too serious. I picked the date because 2013 will be my first full year of independence as a college student. I won’t slack off if it’s my dignity on the line. I might add more goals as they come to me, but for the most part, I’m improving myself one step at a time and these are some of the stepping stones I want to make. I’ll post a new entry with progress every time something gets done. As I’ve been learning, the hardest part is taking the first step, but wish me luck.
