Completed 2016 Goals
Hey!
2016 is over. I
can't believe it. The past two years have been so eventful and I feel like I
can't keep up with them. I still have to register some things in my mind ! 2016
, as every year, had it's ups and it's down. Although this year was mostly ups,
it's been hard to celebrate them since they all happened after my Grandmother
passed away. I just wish I was able to go to her house and celebrate everything
with her like I always did.
As I do every year,
I write down a list of goals that I want to achieve by the end of the year.
Trust me when I say that I thought I would get none of them done but I have
managed to do quite a few of them.
- Grow my hair out to shoulder length
I
am so happy that I have managed go do this!
My urges to pull my hair out have lessened, and although I've had a few
stressful months I am so happy about how many days I have managed to go without
pulling a single hair!

- Proceed to 2nd year in Social work university course
Not
only have I completed this goal, but I also managed did it without having to
re-sit any exams! For the past 3 years I had to re-sit exams in the summer and
it was such a relief not to have to spend my summer days studying!
- Get a job
I
am going to be honest. I didn't think that i was going to manage to achieve
this goal because I kept sending applications and no one was getting back to me. Luckily for me, a friend of mine recommended working with him as an interviewer at
the Valletta Cruise Port. It was a casual job, not working more than 8 hours a
week but it was something to earn money as I kept applying for other work. Then
I got called for a waitress interview and I was over the moon. So now I'm
working at a restaurant! I can't believe
it.
- Read 30 Books.
This
was a Goodreads challenge that I set for myself and I was so pleased when I got
it done before I started my 2nd year of university. You can check out the books
that I read on my goodreads. https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/52737960-aby
- Enter a writing competition
Finding an online competition that had no
registration fees was actually quite difficult. I am confident in my writing
not that much so I didn't want to spend money on registration fees. In order to
complete this goal I came across Creative Writing Ink that ,apart from
displaying external competitions, they run 2 internal competetions which are
the Free to Enter Creative Writing InkCompetition and the Writing Prompt Competition. I entered for 3 months before
decided to give up (but don't you dare give up on your skills!)
Things
that I haven't completed
A)
Reach 50KG in weight
B)
Complete Wreck This Journal
As
you can see I have had such a productive year, I guess. I still need to come up
with a list for next year but since this year has been quite intense it's going
to be tough to find more than 3 things to do next year. Let me know what goals
you have completed this year !
Until next time, lovelies.
