Carrie's New Years Resolutions

SNOOOOKI

I don't usually do New Year's Resolutions anymore. I do birthday resolutions in October, but I always seem to fail with my own personal NYR's. 

This year, though, I feel like I can't fit all I want to do into 23 things, so I have some additions to my original list, which is also re-posted below from my personal blog. 

1. Run a half or full marathon
2. Visit Rebecca in France (this includes a stop in London to see Amber and the Tate and a stop in Berlin to go to a rave)
3. See Portland, Oregon
4. Go to Austin, Texas
5. Launch my blog with Amber (this is underway!) 
6. Publish one issue of zine with Marie
7. Read 5+ female authors
8. Read 5+ canonical books from the 1920s
9. Read 6 books by writers from the American South
10. Skydive (August 24)
11. Make a signature trail/hiking bar
12. Learn to BBQ
13. Go to a rave (see goal 2)
14. Take the GRE
15. Join Toastmasters 
16. Take 1+ French class, preferably before going to France
17. Choose 4-5 grad programs
18. Find a favorite California wine
19. Visit a farm
20. Have a garage sale next summer
21. Start tutoring or teaching people how to read
22. Buy a new computer
23. Take up kickboxing (or another group sport)

So my additions are: 
1. Be a better sister and daughter and friend. 
2. Open my heart again. It's been closed too long, and I need to stop being so judgmental in my relationships. 
3. Prioritize this blogging effort so it will be the best that it can possibly be!
4. Don't be like Snooki. Ever. Unless there's house music playing.
5. Bake more for all the people I love. 


Happy New Year!
