2016 Resolutions Review

I feel like I'm usually so late with these, but I had a 2-day-long power outage.

My memory is so bad now honestly LOL I'm not sure if my answers will be accurate. If anything, I think in 2016, I became more of an adult. ;u;

1. Has always been #1 since I started these resolutions in 2009: Be happy. :)
Overall I think this was one of my better years emotionally and I can say with confidence that I was pretty happy. ^^ I had some slumps and rough transitions, but I made it through them all and everything's been pretty good since August!

2. Stop sleeping so late..

Oh my god I slept at 5 AM this morning

3. And waking up so late...

Oh my g

4. And being late for everything omg just stop pls

I SUCK.

5. ACTUALLY START THINKING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH!

I NEED TO DO THIS

6. Exercise!

WHY ARE ALL OF MY FIRST RESOLUTIONS SO HARD

7. Maybe start lakexercise again? (In summer 2014, friends and I made it routine to jog/walk the 2 mile circumference of a lake.)

Unfortunately didn't happen, but I did go back to that lake once this year! ..to play Pokemon Go. >A>

8. .. Abs?

I did a cosplay this year that showed my midriff so I did try!!!

9. Continue doing online singing stuff :>

!! ^o^ I was more active than I've been in years! I participated in 3 competitions after abstaining for 4 years, got to be in a handful of collabs, uploaded a solo, and my 10 year anni video.

10. Go at your own pace and don't let others pressure you about things you're not ready for yet.

I think I was pretty good at this last year. It was rough for a while around May dealing with a lot of changes but I think I pulled through it on my own strength, at my own pace.

11. Stop getting so stressed out so easily and by everything ;w;

Ahah..ahahaha.... I've been pretty stressed out lately, but I have a lot of reason.

12. Rest your eyes more often and take off your glasses when you don't need em.
I am terrible.

13. Practice keyboard!

I didn't have time ;;

14. Leeeeet's try to upload that keyboard+singing cover I had wanted to do? :'D;;;

I FAILED THE KEYBOARD PART BUT TEEECHNICALLY I uploaded a preview of what I recorded in my 10 year anni reel!!

15. Don't let anyone push you around for recording/mixing stuff ;n;

Mmmh, I think I've been pushing myself more than anyone. Although..there's been a lot of fixing of others' mistakes, but that's a different thing....

16. Always find time to relax~

I tried until I couldn't recently. 

17. Keep up with k-dramas?

This year was light in k-dramas sadly. I always had to stop my phases because of lack of wifi or being too busy.

18. And k-pop! Or just Lovelyz because right now Lovelyz are important. Are they still important in 2016?

Lovelyz are still very important!!!! I also adopted new children called Pentagon and I love them very much as well.

19. Don't ever feel ashamed of your height again. Just werk it.

Oh now that I think of it, for the most part, I've been feeling better about my height!

20. Be confident! Yeah!! You're the best!!!!

SOMETIMES I AM THE GREATEST AND SOMETIMES THE WORST

21. Take more pictures ^^

Think I did!

22. Eat vitamins regularly.

I kinda did for a while until my dad said gummy vitamins are apparently not good for you anymore or something??

23. Stop being so easily scared by things..
That is human nature you can't change.

24. Always stand up for what you believe in.

I think I do.

25. Don't be afraid to be yourself in front of others!

Been fluctuating on this. Phases of trying hard to just let go and let myself flow, and phases of being absolutely frightened and tiptoeing because I'm so scared of being watched by judgmental eyes....

26. Learn more about basic things.. like.. car maintenance in case anything happens lol

I KNOW NOTHING

27. Will I finally learn how to cook.....?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

28. Let's finish my cosplays in time WITHOUT killing myself over them!

LMAO I wasn't sure I was gonna make a new cosplay this year until my wifi drought happened and I totally killed myself in suffering making a sewing-intensive cosplay in 3 weeks when I don't know how to sew and worked full time.

29. Be more motivated in general? ;_;

Had a couple slumps but overall been pretty motivated! It's been a very productive year!! *^*)9

30. Start writing more again. Who is your professor to stomp on your desire to write? Fuck all that.

I started trying to write a new short story on a plane but then lost motivation after landing.

31. Be selfish sometimes.

Pretty selfish sometimes.

32. Also do more things for other people and get them gifts if you see things that remind you of them.

34. Be more initiating.
