Goals for 2017

2016 was a great year for me. I learned how to swim,started working out, did well in school, bought my first car, started running etc. I want 2017 to be a great year as well. Here are some of my goals and plans for this hear!

1. Graduate from university. 

It has taken me a little bit longer than most people, but the important thing is that I will finally be done this year! I’m going to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in history, my favorite subject. I want to become a writer and a history teacher.

2. Run more and compete in my first 10k, half marathon, and full marathon! I started running in August of last year. My only regret is that I did not start running sooner. 

3. Get a new job. 

I have been saying for years that I will get a new job and this year, I will finally make that happen! I want to find a job that pays well and I’m happy to be there. 

4. Continue playing tennis

I played when I was going to community college and was even in the team. Then I stopped playing for 5 years! Since this semester is my last semester at school, I decided to take tennis as a pe class. It has been so much fun! Once this class is over, I want to continue playing. It’s a great workout and it’s the only sport I’m good at 😂

5. Travel more. 

So far, I have plans to go to Florida during spring break for Wrestlemania and San Francisco during summer with my family. I would like to travel to a couple other places either with my bf, friend, or family.

2016 In Review

Although many people consider 2016 to be a horrible year, mainly because of the presidential election, it was a really good year for me. Here are a few good things about 2016 for me.

1. I finally started running. Every year, I would add running on my bucket list. However, I would never actaully start running. Throghout the year, I used the treadmill and occasionally ran. In August, I decided it was finally time to start running outdoors. It was very difficul for me at first. I had a hard time running just one mile. I continued running and by the end of the year, I was able to run 8 miles! I also competed in five 5ks around my community. My times ranged from 27 minutes to 38 minutes.

2. I was a fan of wrestling when I was younger but once I turned 9/10, I stopped watching. Started watching again in November/December 2015. Last year I was able to go to not one, but three WWE events at the Staples Center. Two were Monday Night Raw events and one was a WWE live event. It was cool seeing my favorites in person. I got to see Roman Reigns, The New Day, Charlotte, and others. This year I want to see more shows and I’m even going to Wrestlemania in Orlando, Florida!

3. I finally started working out more frequently. My mom signed up the whole family for the gym in January 2016. I started going at least 3 times a week. My fitness level has improved so much in just one year. From September to December, I took a fitness class at my gym. It was tough! A lot of cardio and weight lifting, but it was worth it. Once school is over, I will take the class again. 

4. Spent the day with one of my best friends watching tennis at Indian Wells. It was my 4th year in a row going with her, her bf, and her brother. We are going again this year, can’t wait!

5. Got my first car! I got my license back in 2015, but it wasn’t until 2016 (July 31 to be exact) that I finally was able to buy my own car. I love it. Not having to go everywhere in the bus was great and now I had more time to do other stuff, which is why I was able to run more often.

6. I finally got my nose pierced! I had wanted to do this since I was 17 years old, but when I turned 18 I chickened out. Then I got my job at 21 and they were very strict about facial piercings. (They were absolutely not allowed) I finally decided to go for it and went with my sister. It was my bday present to her for her 18th bday.

2015 in Review

2015 was a pretty good year for me. While I didn’t get to travel, I still got to enjoy the year with my family and my boyfriend.

My boyfriend and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary in 2015.

One of my favorite memories of 2015 was finally going to Disneyland with my boyfriend.

As a season ticket holder for Knott’s Berry Farm, I was able to go a few times in 2015. My favorite was going to the Boysenberry Festival with my family.

My youngest sister was baptised and I was one of her godmothers, along with my other sister Destiny.

I finally got my driver’s license! Had to take some driving classes, which was almost $300, but it was worth it.

If I Won the Lottery

I’m sure there are millions of people who dream of winning the lottery. Imagine suddenly winning over 100 million dollars? I can’t imagine having that much money honestly. But if I ever did win the lottery, there are a few things I would definitely do with the money.

1. Pay off debts.
Not just my debts (which isn’t a lot), but I would also help my mom and grandma pay off their debts as well.

2. Buy a car
It wouldn’t be a super fancy, expensive car. A Toyota or Honda would be fine. However, I would get a car of the year

3. Travel to Europe
I would probably have to make two trips, one trip to Europe with my boyfriend and another trip with my family. Or we could all go together and I alternate who I spend time with lol

4. Buy a house
With all that money, I wouldn’t have to rent anymore. I could easily buy a house nearby.

5. Travel around the United States

Also with my bf and family

6. Open a soccer store with my bf

We would sell jerseys, jackets, anything soccer related

7. Own bakery or t shirt store

Hello!

Wow, it’s been 3 weeks since I’ve written here. Not entirely my fault, a few weeks ago, my laptop just stopped working -.- But that didn’t keep me from writing! I’ve had to go back to the old way of writing, ie paper and pen. Well I have so much to say! I won’t be able to type it all today because unfortunately, I had to go to the library to use it and I’m running out of time -.- Sometime this week, I will be posting up my favorite soccer/football memories of 2012, my goals for 2013, as well as some things I wrote about a few people in my lives. Remember, I did say I was letting my inner Taylor Swift (or Adele, whichever you prefer) come out!

What has happened over the last 3 weeks? A lot! lol I’ll try to write about that more this week. How am I? Well…..I’ve been better, just glad that I have someone I can count on to be there for me, even when he’s not here (he’s in a different country!) I’m glad that I can tell him anything and even though we disagree sometimes and I’m sure he gets tired of me talking about certain people, he’s still there for me 🙂 I can’t wait for him to get back already lol I’ve also been writing Chelsea Confidential, which I will start posting up sometime this week as well. Time has run out, bye for now! 🙂
