On to 2013

Tomorrow night I will be ringing in the new year at Xfinity Live in South Philadelphia with some of my best friends.  I'm a little sad to see 2012 go though.  2012 included one of the my best semesters of college, graduation, one of my best friends returning from France, making new friends, moving back home (good and bad), new jobs, etc.  But I'm excited for 2013 because I have no idea what's in store.  I know I will be purchasing a new car, beginning a new job, taking new classes, applying to graduate school, looking for an apartment, but who knows how any of this will turn out.  All I can do is hope for the best.

Now the obvious next point of this post would be... New Years Resolutions!  Like a lot of people, I'm not really into this in the traditional sense.  Last year I went the inspiration board route:

 I liked making this as it reminded me of my sorority crafting days- I swear my crafts then were better than this though- and it was a constant visual reminder.  I also accomplished a fair share of my goals because it was broken up into categories (health, personal, academic/professional- and focused.  But I think I want to do something even more specific this year.  I love to-do lists.  I seriously make them everyday.  So this year, I am thinking of going the list route and making it more of a long term thing ala design darling's 101 in 1001. I love that her list is visual ( I need that), with specific to-do's, and that there is no pressure to finish them in a year.  I will be working on mine in the next couple of days so more on my version of the 101 in 1001 to come!

Have a safe and happy new years!
