Was flicking through old Blog Posts and came across my Resolutions from 2011:
New Years Resolution 2011:
1.Life: To live life with more Happiness and Joy, with less Regrets and Worries
2.Education: Graduate
3.Friends: To create more Memories and go on more Adventures
4.Career: Find a good earning Career
5.Love: To go with the flow
6.Health: Less Snacks, More Exercise.
Overall: To create more Awesomeness than 2010.
So I thought I'd reflect on these resolutions to see whether I achieved them in 2011. This is also a response to a blog my friend posted about his resolutions for 2011.
1. did I have a year with less regrets and worries? hmm to be honest I think 2010 was a more worry free year than it was in 2011. Reasons being I finished my last semester at Uni and was struggling to find a graduate job and failed at countless interviews. As for more Happiness and Joy? I think I had my fair share of laughter and happy moments, but the events in 2010 were definitely a highlight in my life. haha.So in summary, that Resolution was only half fulfilled.
2. To graduate. I did indeed graduate, although my ceremony isnt until April 2012, haha. But not only did I pass all my final subjects, I found out I did one too many! a DEFINITE Graduate =P
3. Adventures: Started off the Year with the best trip to Malaysia. Wow. can't believe it was only a year ago that we were all in Langkawi sipping on our drinks, eating Roti and playing drinking games! That was the best highlight of my life. My First trip with friends overseas. On top of this, I made new friends, had more random outings and definitely created more memories not only with friends, but also with Family
4. Working at IBM = Good earning Career? I would say so! who wouldve though I would get into a company like IBM! Sure I failed at getting into companies like Apple, Oracle and NAB, but I am grateful for landing a job in IBM. They gave me great benefits, a great beginning and I look forward to where it will lead me. It has also given me a new adventure, moving to Sydney. Living on my own and making more friends and building my networks =)
5. haha definitely went with the flow, and is now in a happy relationship, despite him being in Melbourne, but It's hitting our 1 year anniversary soon. Something must be going right? =) hehe.
6. Snack less, exercise more...hmm...in the middle of 2011 I hit the gym, did yoga, went to Zumba classes so definitely achieved that..although it died down. But the time that I went, I felt motivated, enjoyed it and achieved a better health. A shame it died after a few months. Snack wise. I think I have cut down, don't find myself munching on chips or lollies anymore. Only snack I did eat was my favourite chocolate fererro rocher =).
So Did I achieve my Resolutions? To a certain extent I believe I succeeded in them all =). So what resolutions should I head into 2012 with?
LIFE/HEALTH
1. Stay healthy - Continue to exercise on a regular basis (More than 6 months haha)
2. Enjoy life, live independently, learn to cook, look after myself =)
CAREER
3. Find a career path that I want. Although I am still getting use to my current role as a software support engineer, I feel it isn't something I want to continue to do down the track. Maybe a consulting role or PM role is something I want to go towards. Fingers crossed I can achieve that by the end of this year, ready for 2013.
4. Save money for holidays, house, etc.
FRIENDS AND FAMILY
5. Spend as much time as I can with friends and family, whether it is in Melbourne, Sydney or overseas. =). To create cherishable memories to laugh about next year around this time =P
LOVE
6. To continue to grow and understand each other, create more memories, take more photos together and to be happy =)
How is everyone else's Resolutions going?
