My resolutions are as follows:
First, finish college. I have one more semester to go, one more *class* to go and then, come May, I'll be done. Thus, I will *not* do what I did last semester, I *will* do homework assignments as they are given to me, and I *will* (if applicable) read the chapters well before the tests.
The second, more important one, is a bit more complicated. Pretty much all of last year, I was in a not-so-good state physically (I was sick a lot. O.o More than usual) and emotionally (lotta ups and downs for various reasons). I'm fairly certain that the two of those are related, so I am going to endeavor to change myself for the better. I will continue to exercise and take my vitamins everyday, I will learn not to stress out about stuff so much, and I will begin meditating again.
Third, I will find some kind of creative outlet for those times when I do get stressed and emotions are high. I might join the chorus again, might start writing again (I haven't done any really serious writing since my poetry class a couple semesters ago), or take up knitting. My sister's going to teach me whilst she's in town this next week-and-a-half.
Fourth, I have several books in my 'To Read' pile that need tackling. Also, there are some books that I started reading and never finished (I'm lookin' at you Lord of the Rings trilogy and Phantom of the Opera) that I'm going to try to cross off my 'Books I Started and Never Finished' list.
Finally, I really need to spend more time watching my parents and learning how to cook from them. As of right now, the most complex thing I've semi-mastered is how to crack eggs without making too much of a mess (the two tricks are to crack the eggs on a flat surface and to have a paper towel between the egg and said flat surface).
