Happy New Year!
To say 2017 was interesting would be an understatement. It seems like every year, we're descending into madness or rising up to maintain our sanity. I assume 2018 will be no different. The same fears, but with a hopeful mindset we promote with every new year.
To start us off, here are 18 things to do in 2018!
To start us off, here are 18 things to do in 2018!
1. Go on an adventure! Preferably outdoors with some sun.
2. Find a sport you enjoy. A bit of beginner's yoga or boxing each week can start something new.
3. Read more. Immerse yourself in fantasy books or political articles. There is power in reading.
4. Ask questions you want the answers to. It's better to learn the truth now than live in the uncertain.
5. Find people to love, to talk, and to feel. They don't have to necessarily be one person.
6. Dance in your bedroom alone, sway to the rhythm of your heart and love how stupid you look.
7. Buy that cute top that looks good on you. It hugs your silhouette and makes you feel beautiful.
8. Waste time looking outside the window, watch cars pass by, and imagine the passengers' lives. They must be so cool.
9. Do something that scares and excites you. Accomplishing it will feel amazing.
10. Limit your bad habits. You don't have to remove them completely, just start slow.
11. Adjust your lifestyle slowly (if you're unhappy). Wake up earlier, cut out junk food, run every other day.
12. Limit your 'no's' so they mean more, and say 'yes' often so you experience more.
13. Compliment people. Tell that girl her dress is pretty or the boy that his smile is beautiful.
14. Give advice when approached. It means they trust your judgement, even if you have to repeat the same advice over and over again.
15. Love without boundaries, and apologise with care. Feelings are complex and fickle, but we need them.
16. Be better than you think you are.
17. Forgive yourself, you can't keep hating yourself.
18. Look forward to the future, and make most of it.
Late nights and emotional instability makes me a pseudo-intellectual, sentimental writer. As you can tell. For more insipid things, you can read 17 Things to Do in 2017 and 16 Things to Do in 2016. Both overdramatic pieces in their own right.
Regardless, I hope this provides some inspiration to what you will do in 2018. As long as we do. So long as we are still breathing, still surviving and still rising, I think we'll be alright.
so what will you do in 2018?
with love,
we survived 2016!
Barely.
But we survived! And that is important reminder as we enter 2017, unsure but scared. Rather than focusing on our fears, justified I might add, I want to be optimistic. Looking forward to the new year with things we should do. Some exciting, some insignificant but all something to do.
So to highlight the importance of doing, here are 17 things to do in 2017.

Which is surprising for a neurotic, by-the-book, perfectionist like myself. So when I sat down today, scrolling through blogs’ endless New Years’ resolution, I thought about mine. And realized I had none.
Not because 2015 was a perfect year (it wasn’t at all) but because I hadn’t thought about it. 2016 felt like it was just another day, not another year. That doesn't mean I don’t have goals for the new year. I tell myself as I scribbled down my general goals. After all, ‘New Year, New Me’ right?
Here are 2016 New Years’ Resolutions! Well, more like goals.

I say this as someone who adores New Years' Resolutions with many over the years. And failed most of them. Maybe it's because I am indifferent to the 'New Year, New Me' policy that many see to take up this year. The belief that a new year will change you for an optimistically better year.
Good for them! Not for me.
But there are things we can do. Little things that can make the new year worthwhile. Here are 16 Things To Do in 2016!
Happy 2015 everyone!
I say two weeks too late.
The start of a new year has been connotative to change in one's self. After a turbulent 2014, everyone has been preparing a New Years' Resolution of some sort. I've personally never been a fan of resolutions and never succeeded in them. In fact, I don't think I had a New Year's Resolution last year. And it's not surprising, considering we are just really lazy. (Or it's just me)
Nevertheless, attempts should still be attempted. Whether it succeeds or not is up to the future to decide. So here are my resolutions for 2015!
