2013 Resolutions… Did I Stick To Them?

Last year I wrote this post about my New Years Resolutions for 2013.  Now we’re a year on I thought I’d look back at my resolutions to see how well I kept to them.


Graduate with a good degree.
Did I do it? Yes! In July I graduated with a 2:1 in Media and Communications. I spent my final year working crazy hard but still found I was in the between barrier of a 2:2 and a 2:1. I then spent my final days living in the library with my housemate Becky and managed to get some crazy good marks on my last pieces of work pulling my grade up to a decent 2:1. Graduation was a pretty amazing day which I blogged about here.

Get a real job.
Did I do it? No. After finishing uni in May I finally quit my Mcjob after 5 painful years and started interning in the real world. This year I’ve taken part in two internships, one work experience placement, and an online internship, but sadly I haven’t managed to get myself a ‘real job yet’. I’ve had a handful of interviews this year, and already have two interviews lined up for January, so fingers crossed for this year.

Carry on loosing weight.
Did I do it? Yes! This year me and my mum decided to join Weight Watchers, and so far I’ve lost 20lbs (although I’ve probably put on a little over Christmas). I’ve blogged about my weightloss journey here, and I plan on carrying on in 2014.
 
Blog, blog, blog.
Did I do it? Yes! This year I’ve blogged 133 times to date, my most blogged year. Although the first half of the year was fairly quiet while I finished my degree, the rest of the year has been pretty active, especially while I haven’t been working. I’ve even learnt to be more organised and schedule posts! Hopefully I’ll carry this on into 2014.

Save some money.
Did I do it? No. I’m still as poor as I was last year and haven’t managed to put aside any savings. Oops.

Well 3 out of 5 isn’t bad! Hopefully in 2014 I’ll be able to carry on with my resolutions and maybe make some new ones!

Keep Your Resolutions in a Creative Way!

    It’s no secret that when it comes to saving money, I’m the worst person. No matter how much I try I just can’t seem to make it to the end of the month with some savings. I decided to turn over a new leaf, and September is the month to do this. I’ve decided to…

  • Treating My Furry Friends

    It’s no secret, I love cats. I have four and I treat them like they’re my children. In fact I often carry them around and call them ‘cat babies’, much to their protesting. Because I like to care for my furry friends I thought it would be nice to treat them to a new toy. When they were…

    Eating Healthier

    If you’ve been following me on my social accounts lately you might have seen that I’m on bit of a weightloss mission. My weight has been something that’s been an issue for me for a long time now. When I was a teenager I gained a lot of weight, mostly through making poor choices, and…

  • Campus Book Rentals*

    Although it’s been awhile since I’ve now finished education, a whole two years in fact, I a thought I’d share a great service that everyone should know about – Campus Book Rentals. Campus Book Rentals is the perfect service if you need several text books for your course, but really don’t want to spend the hundreds involved in the cost of buying them. Thinking…
