What is your favorite thing to do over the xmas / new year break!?

Sleep  :") (and catch up with friends that I normally don't see during semester!)

How keen are you for holidays?

Extremely. 

Do you have any special new years eve plans?

More sleep. There might be a trend here ... :')

What was your favourite thing about 2018?

My first overseas trip to Japan with some really good friends. It was so amazing and I'm so grateful that I went with them since we had a great time together (especially trying to win our own giant plushies in the claw machines in Tokyo!).

In one word sum up 2018

Alright :')

How do you feel about fireworks!?

Beautiful, but expensive and perhaps not the most environmentally friendly display :")

(Don't want to be a kill joy but I like protecting the earth so it will be okay in the future)

Hey all, I'm very new here! Thought that it was finally time to stop keeping everything bottled up, so I've decided to join this forum and start talking to others. 🙂

 

What is your favorite thing to do over the xmas / new year break!?

My favourite thing to do over the break is to read all the books that I have piled up throughout the year that I never get time to read!! Sounds lame, but I love it haha.

 

How keen are you for holidays?

Very. This year has to be the busiest one of my life yet. It's so nice to get a break!!

 

Do you have any special new years eve plans?

Going to watch the fireworks in a boat on Sydney Harbour - can't wait. I've never even seen the fireworks at Sydney Harbour Bridge before.

 

What was your favourite thing about 2018? (Feel free to share some awesome RO goodnees)

My favourite thing about 2018 was that I made my parents proud. We've had some rough years with my mental health, so I made it my goal to make them smile more this year. I'm so happy to see that I was able to do that.

 

In one word sum up 2018

Independence.

This year I've found that I've evolved a lot as a person. I began taking initiative with my studies, and have tried my best to take the limits that I place on myself OFF.

 

How do you feel about fireworks!?

I love them, mostly. They upset my dog, so when I'm at home I hear more of him barking than the actual fireworks Smiley LOL.

Welcome @unwind!! You've just reminded me that I should probably get started with my own pile of books and try to finish them before more pile up :')! What book are you currently reading? Do you have any recommendations :")?

I'm currently reading "21 Lessons for the 21st Century" by Yuval Noah Harari @sylviaisaplant, it's really interesting and provides a great insight into modern day issues. I would recommend all of Harari's books if you're into history/future/knowledge-packed books 🙂

what is your favorite thing to do over Xmas/ new year break

relax, eat, sleep in, binge watch Netflix, basically be a sloth, and of course the luxury of not having to spend everyday at senior school, clear my mind, pretty much avoid the responsibilities of life for a little while 😃

How keen are you for the holidays

could they get here any faster 

New year plans

probably just watch the fireworks on tele and write new year resolution, or drive around with my fam frantically looking for local fireworks at 11:58 pm, could go either way.

What was your favorite thing about 2018

Getting real with myself and the people in my life. Learning a little more of my worth, and having a few adventures with the people i love.

In one word sum up 2018

Absolutely LOVE them. Wish they weren't illegal.
