March Bucket List

I know, I've been bad.  It may seem like I have given up on blogging but I have not. I have just had a crazy amount of university work lately and that seems to take up most of my life at the moment, so the odd chance I get to relax and socialise I take it, so haven't had time for anything else.  In two weeks hopefully this work will be done!!

It's back to the old monthly bucket list.

11. Get a job.

In January I made a plan to produce a brilliant CV and personal statement so I could start applying for graduate jobs.  I have now applied for about 20 jobs, I just need some interviews now!

12. Complete my university work to a high standard.

I mentioned that I have a lot of work at the moment.  It's very well rushing this work to get it out of the way before the deadlines, but I want good grades so I need to produce high quality work!

13. Go to a festival... Or Two... Or Three...

This is the year I finish university.  I want to have an awesome summer by going to as many festivals as I can.  Of course I cannot afford every festival so will volunteer for some.

14. Blog regularly.

This is something I enjoy, so once my work is completed and I have more time, I want to get back into blogging regularly again.

15. Treat my parents.

Throughout my four years at university my parents have had to financially support me, some years more than others, and I would not have been able to survive if they did not.  I am really grateful for this but have never been able to show it other than a "thank you" and a hug.  Once I have a job and have been earning a decent amount of money for some months, I want to buy my parents a holiday or something nice so show my appreciation.  Realistically I won't be able to do this until the end of this year, but it's still something I want to do.

Just to finish up, here's a February round up of instagram pictures:

1. Revising in bed.  2. Obsessed with candles lately.  3. Valentine's chocolates treat from Mummy.
4. Love this perfume! 5. Un-makeupped eye. 6. Got to start the morning off with a cuppa!
7. Trying out a new colour. 8. Finally started reading! 9. Treated myself.

Do you have any aims for the month?

 

February Bucket List

Carrying on from January's list that I made which you can find here, I am going to make 5 more aims.  This may be a little late seeing as it is February 12th already, however I have been busy writing essays and revising for exams, all of which I passed so the hard work paid off!

6. Learn to draw again.
I used to be really good at drawing and was something I did regularly, but in the last few years I didn't keep at it and I fear my drawing may not be so good anymore. So this is something I want to pick up again.

7. Save money.
As a poor student who doesn't earn money I spend way too much! So I need to cut down until I manage to get a job and start raking in the monies!

8. Read more.
I have a pile of books I haven't gotten around to reading yet. I used to read at least a book a week but I haven't touched a book in months! I enjoy reading and need to start on one of those books.

9. Regular exercise.
I already pole dance, jog and go to boxercise classes, but often I can become very lazy and don't bother doing much some weeks. I am still trying to get my dream body so I need regular exercise every week!

10. Get another piercing.
I got a new piercing last month and before I got that one, I had already started to plan my next one.  It won't be for a good few months but is something I definitely want to do.

Do you have any aims for February?

 

January Bucket List

Instead of making a long list of New Years resolutions that I will never stick to, I will be making aims each month that I would like to achieve in 2013.  I think this is a great idea.  I want to achieve a lot of things in 2013 so this is just the thing I need!

1. Become more organised.

With final essay deadlines and exams fast approaching I need to be very organised this year if I want to do well in my last year at university and survive without becoming a mad, crazy, stressed person.  I have already started my new organised life by purchasing a diary and have even started using it!

2. Fix my camera.

As I mentioned the other week, my good camera is broken.  As you can see above I am having to put up with crappy, poor quality photos and I cannot stand it.  I must get my camera fixed this month!

3. Learn a language.

In 2012 I started to learn Japanese.  I want to keep up with this and learn more.

4. Produce a brilliant CV and personal statement.

This is a step towards getting the perfect graduate job that I want.

5. Go on holiday out of the country.

The last time I went on holiday was my 21st birthday.  I am in desperate need of a holiday.  I cannot go away until all of my exams are over, so it will be after May, but I cannot wait for some relaxation and exploration in another country.

I'll check back with another 5 aims at the beginning of February to add on to the list!
