- go to college.
- get at least 2 voluntary jobs.
- do a short 'learning for fun' course prior to college.
- start exercising regularly (attending gym twice-weekly and yoga weekly (during term-time)).
- quit smoking for good.
Side goals:
- improve diet/lose weight.
- save as much money as is reasonably possible.
- improve relationships (especially friendships, and with my brother and his girlfriend).
- find a creative hobby, whether that's visual arts, cooking, baking or something else.
- go on holiday with D, and again with the whole family.
- get my chin sorted.
I keep forgetting them! I've remembered three now:
- be on time for one of my tutoring sessions (there's a particular one that i'm always late for)
- get enough sleep
- get back into music, starting by doing my grade 5 violin in the spring!
My main one is to graduate.
My other main one is not to let stress/pressure from what I think others want of me to affect me to the point where I wind up in hospital again.
Side goal is to actually start regularly putting money into savings when I get paid. I think 10% of each wage is acceptable to start with.

^ I don't think it's about that. Isn't for me anyway, I don't wait for a specific day to work on things, I'm already doing that, it's just things I would like to achieve in the next year. I guess a year just gives a manageable timeframe for making fairly significant changes. If that makes sense.
