Life Post: Update 1

Hello, my lovelies!

I definitely didn't think it would be another month before I posted, and yet here we are. February. A lot of things have changed in that month so I wanted to share what was the same and what was different.

First off, I got a job! I've been searching for a year and applied to lots of different places, but a couple finally called me back! Now I have my current job (which is just plain restaurant work), the new job, another job that would start in April (if they don't forget about me. Please don't forget about me because I would definitely like to work there), and hopefully a job at a retirement home. I'm currently interviewing for the retirement home job, but I think it'll work out.

Secondly, I've had my good days and dark days, but I think I have my life sort of figured out. It'll be somewhat of a change, and I still don't have a concrete idea yet, but it's still better than wallowing in darkness without a faintest clue about why I'm living every day, you know? Moving to another state is a pretty drastic move, considering I can't even buy groceries without consulting my mom, but I think it needs to be done. I can't stay a child forever.

So that's my basic life. I've also bought tons of stuff from Sephora because I have very bad impulse controls. That just means more reviews! I already have a couple different reviews in the making; I just need to polish them up a bit. This doesn't mean I can still spend like how I've been spending. Ah~ my poor wallet.

Let's see, how am I doing in regards to my New Years' resolutions?

• Swagbucks - Definitely keep up with that one. I've been hitting the daily meter every day. Here's to hoping February would be the same!
• Friendship - I snapchat people a lot? But other than that there's no real communication because they either work, have other obligations, or live far away. Maybe I'll try sending letters instead?
• Professional goals - I've gotten several jobs related to my major so I think that's complete. Now I just need to figure out how to further my goals. I mean, I can't stay as a entry-level worker forever.
• Life - My room is clean, but I do need to go to the gym more often. Unfortunately it's winter and there's a lot of snow on the ground so that often kills my motivation. BUT THINK ABOUT THE GYM MEMBERSHIP. Ah~ Definitely need to work on that. And buy a planner even though I've been searching stores for weeks, and they either look terrible or priced really high. Oh dear....

So that's my quick update! How's life going for you? Know of any good places where I can get cute planners?

Much love, Jenny

The New Year's Resolution

Hello, my lovelies!

I've thought long and hard about what I want this blog to be. Considering I have multiple social media accounts (facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr, and now this blog), I wanted each account to be somewhat different from each other. And so I decided that this blog would be more coherent than my tumblr blog. I won't be updating every day, but I would update any time I feel the need to sit down and write a complete post, going into details and more analysis.

There had been previous posts on here from when I tried out blogging (with different themes and goals for each attempt), but I either lost interest or felt pressured and that's not the goal of this blog. I shouldn't feel intimidated by the need to keep blogging, I shouldn't feel pressured to have a regular update, and I shouldn't wake up every morning dreading to make a post. Blogging should be a fun hobby, to take my mind off my daily stress. So with that said, here are my resolutions for this new year.

• Get more into swagbucks
• Meet daily goals
• Spend an hour clicking around surveys 
• Utilize search bar more
• Deepen friendship relationships
• Text everyone more often
• Write letters every once in a while
• Offer to hang out more often
• Spend more effort in professional goals
• Ask for more job shadowing opportunities
• Polish professional accounts
• Inquire more jobs
• Decide on what I want to do (this includes research)
• Clean up my life
• Spend an hour exercising no matter what (use a reward program)
• No more wearing pajamas all day on weekends/breaks
• Use a planner to organize my day

So there you go! Here's to my attempt for a better lifestyle and a happier me :) What's your new year's resolution?

Much love, Jenny
