I think it’s always important to start thinking of your “New Year’s Resolutions” a few days before the ball drops. I believe it gives you enough time to really think about where you’ve been this past year and where you would like to be during the next. With that being said,  opportunities to grow do not have to come during the holiday season. ♡ Communicate (rather than assuming that people can read my mind)

I know a lot of you have already started school, but I would still like to get something like this up because I have so many ideas for it! Keeping up with school, work, and your social life can get pretty stressful, so it’s always a good idea to have a place to unwind and get all of your thoughts out. Keeping a physical planner is the best route to go because writing things down helps you remember things a lot easier than simply typing things. Although, I know I am TERRIBLE about keeping a physical planner, so using some form of a reminder app with alerts is a good second option.

I’m going to challenge myself to get out of my comfort zone when meeting new people, being the first to sign up for things, etc. I want to continue to grow and build healthy relationships with the people in my life. I love the friends that I have, but I’ve been in the same mix for the past four years and it’d be nice to meet someone new. Not only do I want to put a lot of my focus into relationships and my career, I would like to put more effort into the blog.

As I continue to channel my inner Blair Waldorf, I thought it was very appropriate to begin holding (relatively) monthly brunches. The primary things to be focused on are making sure everything has it’s place and when certain things need to be placed. As for hot foods and beverages, those come very last. As the host, you should be the designated “pourer” and making new batches of tea when you run out.
