What are you looking forward to this year?

Getting out of my comfort zone, trying new things and making some friends. 

What is your favourite summer treat?

zooper doopers or any icy poles 

 

How do you keep cool in the heat?

either at home with my fan or away at work in the aircon. I’m a little bit of a hermit

Hi everyone!

 

What are you looking forward to this year?

- Going back to uni (finally) after taking some time off to focus on my health. 

- Building stronger and more honest relationships with my friends. 

 

What is your favourite summer treat?

I've started making watermelon and mint slushies with lots of ice. They're so refreshing on hot days!

 

How do you keep cool in the heat?

Stay inside in front of a fan.

 

Do you have any new years resolutions?

I plan on living a more eco-friendly and sustainable lifestyle and try to eat as plant-based as possible.

It is still January and may as well say hi some where.  

 

What am I looking forward to this year

Hmmmm, I recently graduated and now I am pursuing a different education so I am looking forward to that. 

 

Fav Summer Treat 

Not gonna lie, cold beer or water melon

 

How do I keep cool in the heat 

I normally have a fan but it sort of broke so now I drink cold water, chew on some ice (it is weird but works), and put a wet cloth or ice pack on the back of my neck. 

 

Any New Years Resolution

Not really. Just focus on preparing for my study I guess.

Welcome to all our new community members this month Smiley Happy

 

I love these threads! I am a late entry this month but made it just in time!

 

What are you looking forward to this year?

Last year for me was all about growth- lots of tests of my resilience, and I learnt so much about myself and who I am. This year I am looking forward to consolidating and building on the strengths I learnt last year. I want to take on new challenges (I am hiking Milford Track in NZ by myself in March!) and see where life takes me!

 

What is your favourite summer treat?

I love fruit and a cheese platter while I watch the sunset over the bush in my backyard!

How do you keep cool in the heat?

Go to the beach! Swimming is my happy place! 

 

Do you have any new years resolutions?

No resolutions, just an openness to what the year could bring!

ICE-CREAM!!!!! and watermelon hehe 😛

How do you keep cool in the heat?

shade, cool drinks (water), and aircon

What are you looking forward to this year? 

I don't really know... I'm excited for Animal Crossing New Horizons on the Switch, but I probably won't be able to afford it for a while. I'm looking forward to the Olympics starting, it's always a fun time. Even though I'm not a sports person I love watching events and the opening ceremony, ahah!

What is your favourite summer treat?

Icy poles, or any kid of ice cream. Also, berries.

How do you keep cool in the heat?
I struggle so much, ahah. Heat really triggers my anxiety. My set up resembles migraine set up, with all the blinds closed and lights off. The fans and aircon are always on.

Do you have any new years resolutions?
I don't really like to make resolutions in fear of disappointing myself, but I have some around the site! Some are writing down one thing that made me happy every day, get more fit and eat healthy, and write more.

What are you looking forward to this year?

There isn't really much to look forward too. I'm going to try and make things happen instead of them coming to me..you know what I mean? As a huge gamer, there are a few games that look good. The Last of Us 2, Dying Light 2. The PS5 obviously! I love sports so the Olympics is always fun. You get into sports you wouldn't really go out of your way to watch haha. Also the usual like some few Netflix shows and music.

 

What is your favourite summer treat?

Beer count? Haha.

How do you keep cool in the heat?
Hit the beach or just sit inside with the A/C at 100%. Honestly it gets so hot what could you do haha.

Do you have any new years resolutions?
I really want to focus on making myself happy. It sounds selfish but I struggle to look out for myself and it's something I'm going to focus on. I'm also going to try and improve on talking to people as I can get shy or don't know how to start a simple conversation.

I'm looking forward to trying new things and attempting to get out of my comfort zone!

 

What is your favourite summer treat?

Probably watermelon! Or any fruit for that matter

 

How do you keep cool in the heat?

I just lay under the aircon ahahaha

 

AND FINALLY

 

Do you have any new years resolutions?

Hello people! I guess I'll start us off then ~

What are you looking forward to this year?

I'm really looking forward to all the new exciting games that come out on the Nintendo Switch this year like animal crossing, story of season, and hollow knight: silksong. I'm super excited for hollow knight silksong. 

What is your favourite summer treat?
Ahhhh summer is the time to eat mangoes! Mangoes are my favourite fruit to eat in summer!

How do you keep cool in the heat?
Thankfully, I live in an apartment that's covered in reflective windows and material, so the heat of the sun gets reflected back from the entire building, leaving my home relatively cool throughout the summer. My room is also located away from the sun (sadly this means I don't get much sunlight in my room), but this means I don't have to turn on any fans or air conditioning during summer because it's relatively cool. I do open the window though to get some nice cool ventilation into my room though 😄

Do you have any new years resolutions?

Yes! I just want to make more friends and know more people ~ I also want to do some meaningful volunteer work and help more in the RO and other communities!
