Goodbye 2014, Hello 2015

2014 went by quite quickly. 2015 is here. Wow and even though I am writing this post in the middle of January, I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. 

    

 Why I started blogging: 

         To begin why I am even blogging, I first started to read blogs by others in 2014 and by reading this one bloggler, Ella. {Big thanks to Ella for blogging because her blog is fabulous and she is a great inspiration} I never even thought of starting to blog until I learned that I must blog for one of my core classes in education in college. Between the class that I have to blog for and the inspiration from reading Ella's blogposts have encouraged my decision into start blogging. I know that I will make mistakes along thawed but as time goes on, I hope to start to improve my writing skills and this will give me a way to express and to share my ideas and inspirations and what I am thinking in a form of writing.

          Goals for 2015: 

             Because this is my first blog post, I want to share some of the goals that I have set for myself. Some people would call these New Year Resolutions, but personally, I hate New Year Resolutions. To me you can always be changing so why do you want to wait until the New Year to change? Can't you start in July? What about March or October? Why wait until January of the New Year to create something?
            I want to enjoy the finer things in life. Because I am in college, it can be quite stressful. With homework, studying and juggling everything that life throws at you, it can be challenging. By enjoying the finer things in life such as maybe going for a walk in the park to enjoy nature or even by smiling more, I know it will make me happier and help me become less stressed and help me enjoy being in the moment instead of worrying about the future. Because we are a technological world, it gets tough to step away from social media. To help me enjoy the finer things in life, I want to take a step away from technology for a bit and spend time doing something else.
           Make more time to spend with my family. As my brother, CJ, and I get older, we get busier and busier than ever and we tend to spend more time working or hanging out with friends. That's not a bad thing, but sometimes we forget to spend time together as a family. Especially with me being away in college, it gets tough because I don't see them as much as I would if I were living at home.
            Finally,  I want to blog. I know this sounds quite redundant as I am blogging right now but I want to blog when I come up with an idea or something that i feel like I should blog about instead of blogging because I feel like I have to and need to. I created this blog so that I can express myself in writing as I am thinking about minoring in English. I don't want writing this blog to ever feel like I have to write, but because I enjoy writing this blog. This blog will help me improve my writing skills and even help me find a new hobby. :)

Thanks for Reading! Have a great weekend. :)
