This year has been completely hectic thus far. I’ve barely had time for late night cookie runs in between studying and extracurriculars at school, and trust me, that is a huge issue. But me being my goal oriented self, I still came up with a list of 5 things I want to learn this year. I may be busy. I may be learning a whole bunch of stuff in my classes. But these are things I want to learn to better myself as a person. {or to just make life a little more fun!}
1. Deal with confrontation.
I’m working on this one. Confrontation terrifies me. I would rather get upset in silence than make another person upset. This could be something as little as my roommate using one of my tupperware containers when I needed it and asking if I could wash it to use it. {yes, that really was a situation. I made it.} I know confrontation is a part of life. It doesn’t have to be hurtful, and that’s where I need to steer myself in order to learn how to do so.
2. Flirt?
Maybe? I’m so busy all the time that I don’t take time to talk to anyone, let alone worry about talking to cute boys. My coworker tells me this is an issue and I will end up as an old cat lady if I continue to do so. I don’t believe him, but in either case I should maybe figure out what exactly flirting is. {is staring not okay?}
3. Whistle.
I do not know how to whistle, and for someone who is musically inclined, this is one of my frequent frustrations. I like to tell myself I can whistle, but I know deep down I can’t. If anyone wants to give me some tips on this one, let me know!
4. Italian!
I’m studying abroad in Rome next fall and I want to start practicing now! I’m already working on this one and while I know there is no way I’m going to be fluent in a year, at least I’ll make progress. Plus, once I check this one off, I can start learning French too. :)
5. Play guitar.
This one. Oh my. So, I have baby hands, as my family likes to say. They are irrationally small. I own a guitar, but I can’t play it because I can only play 4 chords. I can’t barre chords, so I just get frustrated with myself when I can’t play any songs. Maybe that will change over winter break? I pick up instruments really quickly, and I love string instruments. LOVE.
What do you guys want to learn this year?
xoxo,
