2015 GOALS

Hello everybody! This year, rather than setting myself resolutions, I am going to be setting goals. For some reason, me and traditional resolutions don't go down too well, so I feel that goals are the way forward for me. Today, I am going to be sharing them with you.

1. Keep a dream diary.

So I know that I spoke about this last year, but I totally failed. I was making notes and putting them into an old candle jar and it was just a faff to be completely honest, so this year I'm actually going to be keeping a real journal of all of my dreams.

2. Get fit. This year I plan to not only lose weight (4 pounds down already!!), but to also get properly fit and healthy. I recently invested in a fitbit to help motivate me!

All that I am doing is eating cleaner (which does not exclude treats!) and getting in 10,000 steps a day.

3. Finish my book.

Last summer, I spent a lot of my time reading and whilst I was in Bulgaria (blogpost here), an idea for a novel popped into my head. I started writing the story in august, but I started A Levels and it ended up being left forgotten. This year however, I have intentions of getting it complete!

4. Reach 1000 subscribers.

Before my old youtube channel was hacked, I had reached 1000 subscribers. I intend to reach this number this year! It might not seem like an awful lot to most of you, but I can guarantee that each and every single one of my subscribers adds a little bit more joy to my life, and 1000 would meal a great deal to me. That kind of support is overwhelming in my eyes. If you would do me the honours of subscribing to my channel, I would be eternally grateful.

5. Get good grades.

I am currently studying for my AS levels which I shall take in the summer, and after getting amazing GCSE's, I have really set the boundary high for doing my family and myself proud by succeeding in my AS levels. This one is extremely important to me.

6. Pass my driving test.

I turned 17 in November, so like a lot of 17 year olds in England, (the age we can start driving), it is my goal to pass my driving test!

7. Make more memories.

I want to make 2015 count. I want to reflect on 2015 as a year to remember. I want to do more things and experience new experiences, and just have fun! Remember: YOU are in charge of your own happiness. Nobody else. You have the power to make 2015 a good one!

8. Take my camera everywhere and take more pictures.

This one ties in quite nicely with number 7. I'm going to start taking my camera with me everywhere I go, so I can capture beautiful photographs of beautiful memories. Everyday I come across a new photo opportunity and miss out. Not this year.

9. Blog more.

Let's face it. In 2014, I was a blogging failure. I started off ok-ish and after that, nothing. There is going to be 2 compulsory blogposts each week from Monday onwards; A roundup of the dreams that I had that week, and a diary entry of what went down in my week including pretty pictures. (Ties in nicely with 7 and 8)

10. Be happier.

My own happiness is completely down to me, and this year, I am going to be doing everything in my control to make me the happiest person that I can be. I am such a worrier, and I plan to worry less and think positively; NOTHING IS PERMANENT. By this, I mean that the troubles that you may be experiencing now are not going to last forever.

11. Sleep earlier.
I NEVER go to sleep before 12. EVER. And it means I am sleep deprived for sixth form and it ends up in a vicious cycle of being drained 24/7. It's not healthy mentally, physically or emotionally so I want to make an effort to fix it.

12. Get up and dressed early.
At the weekends or during the holidays, I am SO lazy and some days I have too many pyjama days. This wastes my day so I want to stop that this year.

That is all of my goals for this year! I hope you can relate to some of them, and please leave a comment below telling me what your goals are for 2015! I love you dolls and thank you for reading.

My 2014 'Dream Diary'

Hello everybody, and welcome back to my diary! This time last year (or there about), I wrote a blogpost on my dream diary from the year before. You can check that out here. Now, if you are unaware of what a dream diary it, it is pretty self explanatory. You basically keep a diary of all of your dreams so that you don't forget them, which is very easily done. Like last year, I failed at this dramatically. I only have a couple, so without further ado, I am going to be sharing the dreams from my 2014 dream diary, as if you are anything like myself, you should find my dreams somewhat interesting and entertaining, as I am personally fascinated by other people's dreams. Note - all names in the dreams have been changed for anonymous purposes. If the name is repeated in the other dreams in this post, it is the same person in all of them.

Dream 1 - January 2014, Prom

Me, Blake and Kim woke up on the day of prom with nothing to wear. We had nothing to wear and it was taking place that very night. 2 hours before prom, we decided to go out and buy our dresses. The only ones left were short cocktail dresses in baby pink and baby blue, they looked like this but were identical except from the colour. Do bare in mind that at my school, most people wear floor length classic dresses so this was totally disastrous in the dream.

Blake and Kim both had the blue, and I had the pink. We then went to Asda in our prom dresses to buy our prom shoes, and we all bought gold heels. (Major clash). For bags, we used the ikea brush holder thing which we also bought from Asda, but it had a handle on so it was basically a bucket:

I must point out that me, Blake and Kim are totally cool with what we are wearing...

We then went to Kim's to do each other's hair and makeup 5 minutes before we had to leave, and we all went for our everyday makeup and horrible, tacky, messy buns. We turned up in an old toyota with  Kim's Dad escorting us out, we were late, looked awful, but we did not think so in the dream. PROM FROM HELL.

Dream 2 - January, Prom

On the day of prom, Blake and Kim decided to just go to the after party instead of prom, so I agreed. We went, but I was really upset that nobody got to see my prom dress because we didn't go to prom. I bumped into a very drunk Madison by accident, and she hit me. I ended up going home and cried to my Mum that we never went to prom. She managed to find out that we were having another prom the next day, so Rory drove us all there, and the venue was a lake by a pub...

Dream 3 - February, My sister's party

This might be quite vague because I seem to have written only a little bit of this dream, but I can still remember parts. My sister was having some people over our house for a sleepover for her birthday, and her friends Joey Essex and Kylie Jenner were invited. (Not made up names, the actual people). Joey turned up, but Kylie didn't, so I sat in my sister's bedroom and decided to FaceTime one of her best friends Anastasia to find out where she was. We spoke on FaceTime for a while, and then Kylie finally turned up. From what I remember, we basically chilled for the rest of the night.

Ok, so these three dreams are the only ones that I wrote down this year (shameful), but I hope you enjoyed them and as always, thank you for reading. To help motivate me, I might make my dream diary a weekly thing, where I choose my favourite dream each week, and write about in a blogpost. What do you think? Keep dreaming,
