NYE | Thoughts and Resolutions

I have been making new year's resolutions for as long as I can remember - eat healthy, do more exercise, get more sleep, help more around the house etc - and this year is no exception. 

My resolution for 2015 is to be more organised. I feel like this encompasses a lot; which is why I chose it. It covers housework, university work, going to bed earlier, meeting friends, writing posts for my blog, attending lectures - just about everything in my life at the moment is centred around having a plan and being organised.

My first semester of uni proved to be a very stressful one, and I found myself falling asleep in the back of lectures and seminars because of the lack of sleep I got on a night due to stress. So to avoid this, I have decided that improving my organisational skills and being more pro-active towards actually getting stuff done will help me find my second semester a lot more fun and a lot less like the bane of my existence.

This year I'm spending NYE with a small group of close friends, which I love because it makes a change from spending it with my family (which is what I had been doing up until last year). I'm looking forward to socialising, drinking and just generally spending time with people that make me happy. 

I love the new year, it makes me feel like anything is possible for the 12 months ahead of me. I always find myself thinking about the range of different twists and turns my life could take in the next year, and that feeling combined with the fact that it is the first few seconds of a brand new year makes me very excited. 

What are your resolutions for 2015? And how are you planning on celebrating the new year?
