Past resolutions// 2018

posted by Rose Cocoa

About a year ago, I made some resolutions that I wanted to finish by 2018

My first resolution of 2018 was to learn a new language.



So this started out well but I started treating it like my regular work and my enthusiasm just dwindled down.
I plan to restart my french lessons this year and hopefully put them to a test this summer!

The second resolution was photography.



After the lessons finished, it was hard to get the motivation to go out and practice. Sometimes I get spells of wanting to pursue photography. I'm not sure if my photography has improved at all but I did get better at the technical side of it.

Work out.

Looooooool.

Ok, this one was by far my worst resolution. I honestly hate, HATE working out but this was to be expected. I do live further out from uni so that's 30 mins of speed walking every morning so I guess that is something.


 What I learned about myself in 2018  was that I keep at my goals as long as I am held accountable by teachers or deadlines. Moving forward in 2019, I need to learn how to hold my self up and hold myself accountable. To have independence and self-discipline.
Overall, I achieved most of my goals for 2018. Ok fair play, I only had three and I tried two of them and gave up both of them very quickly but I hope it gets better next year.

This year...

This year...

posted by Rose Cocoa

It's now two weeks into the new year and I am still riding that new year new me train and I suspect I'm gonna get off it pretty soon.

But on a serious note, Some times my new year's resolutions have made me a better person for it. I think what I'm gonna do differently this year is set a new month resolution for each month and hopefully carry on these habits to help me improve my self.

So these are this month's resolutions.

My first one is to improve my photography. and I have just joined an online photography class and I hope to be taking my own photos on this blog soon.

Learning a language. I chose to take  French classes at university because I tried using duolingo, its a great app, its free but that also made it very easy to quit its because I had nothing at stake but I paid £23 for the French course and attendance is compulsory so if I do not turn up I will be kicked out of the course and my place will be given to someone else.

Start working out. This is actually the only goal that I haven't started working on yet. I need to join a gym to do that and I just haven't done that yet. I used to use the Nike training app which I highly recommend for all of y'all who don't want to go outside in the middle of winter. The only reason it didn't work for me is that the space that I use to work out is the same space I eat, slept, and work and that didn't make me feel good at all.


Anyway, thats me. What about you?
Whats are your resolutiond=s and what are you doing to make them happen?
Love Rose

Something new.

Something new.

posted by Rose Cocoa

Well, It is a new year and a same me. 

And I’m glad because that give me a lot to work for this year. Oh. 

Wait.

 Hi.

 I’m Rose. 

Ok nope, that is a lie. I’m not actually Rose. But I feel like we all need a bit of privacy when putting stuff up on the internet so for this blog I am Rose. I’m 18 years old. No really. Look at this mug.

I’m not lying.

I’ve also just started my first year at uni. You’re probably thinking ‘Rose shouldn’t you be revising or partying?’ And my answer is yes. That’s exactly what I should be doing but when you get to know me, you’ll know why.

The thing is, this year is the year I change and stop being more me and start being more who I want to be. You know what I mean? Of course, you do! It’s called a new year’s resolution.

So here is a list of seven things that I’m going to change about me. (Number two will shock you) Ok, I’m kidding I just thought I’d try a little bit of scroll bait.

1)The way I write

I’ve had lots of blogs before and they started off as a way to vent and sometimes that’s a good thing because well, it’s great to vent. But then I couldn’t look at the blog without feeling a little bit sad for myself. And then I’d spend the next few hours wallowing in self-pity and that’s not fun at all

2)The content, it’s all about me.

In my last blog, It was just all about me. And again, I treated it as a diary yet, in fact, I wanted it to be let’s say more of a scrapbook.

3) Be less anonymous

A great start of course because I just told you my name is Rose yet it’s not, in fact, Rose but I wanted to be less anonymous. But I will try and open up more.Lets start with an awkward picture of thy self.

4)Make new blogger friends

I did make blogger friends and then lost them when I stopped blogging and this time, It’s not happening (Comment down below, be my friend(Ok that sound really creepy but I meant it in the less creepy way of course!))

5

My challenge this year is to blog for at least once a month for a year. It’s gonna be tough but I’m a survivor I’m gonna make it, I will survive keep on surviving

Did I just end on a Destinies Child song?

Yes, I did.
