[FUN GR] - 31 DEC - NEW YEARS EVE

[N1ghtW1ng]

Final question of the night!!! A little bit of New Years Resolutions  

6. What is one (or two, no limit) thing you'd like to achieve by this time next year? 

[Bee]

Thanks @N1ghtW1ng, I'm looking forward to finishing and seeing what happens from there

6. What is one (or two, no limit) thing you'd like to achieve by this time next year? 

I would like to be employed

Next year I have the chance to throw my hat in the ring to become school captain, and I'm actually considering it. I'd have to give a speech which is a bigggggg thing (I hate speeches as much as everyone else does) but I feel like it would really boost my self-esteem at school & I'll feel more comfortable.

Another thing I would like to achieve is to become more social. I want to try make friends outside of school that I can hang out with regularly.

[N1ghtW1ng]

I thought I might share what I want to achieve next year. And that's actually getting help, seeing someone regularly. I keep putting it off and off and off but at the start of next year, (when everyone gets off their new year holiday break ) I'm going to go to somewhere, and find someone I'll see regularly. 

Then I'll go from there

Something to look forward to @Bee

@unwind school captain sounds like an excellent goal! So does being more social YOU CAN DO IT!

[unwind]

That's so great @N1ghtW1ng!! It's comforting to know that someone else is doing the same as me at the start of the year. I'm nervous about it now but I'm 110% sure that in the long-run it will be a great decision for both of us

[N1ghtW1ng]

Definitely @unwind It's something I've tried before but I think I need to stick with it for longer than I have for it to actually have an effect, and I think if I see someone new, it'll be easier to get that "fresh start" I want when seeing someone.
We'll both nail it

Keep breathing? Hahahah. But no, seriously I think I've made progress with keeping in touch with friends and learning to keep things in perspective this year, but there's definitely still room to improve. I'm still prone to tunnel-visioning - which can admittedly be helpful in moderation, but historically that's not something that I've been great at, and I need to be mindful to keep up the good habits I've developed this year so I don't end up backsliding.

[Bee]

that sounds great @unwind & @N1ghtW1ng! They sound like very doable and positive goals!
