Back to Reality

So the snowpocolypse hit Athens for the past week. I decided this was a good enough reason to postpone the "better oneself" theory. Its been a fantastic week, but tomorrow stability and responsibility make a reappearance in my life. Time to get back on track. The goal for the week is to buy my gym membership and get started on studying for classes. GO RAMSEY!

A New Year, A New Me

After spending a few days recovering from the hangover that followed ringing in this wonderful new year, I decided that the best way to ensure I keep my new year's resolutions was to start a blog that would track my progress. Its a Bridget Jone's Diary meets Eat, Pray, Love sort of thing. I figure this will definitely help, and it is going to be fun to pretend to be in my own "inspirational" chick flick. So here we go!

Resolution #1. Get into shape! I am positive this is number one on the list of many new year's resolutions. It has definitely been in my top five for awhile, but this year I plan on keeping it. Weekly rounds of yoga and palates are a must in my life for 2011. By the time spring break rolls around I plan on having a super sexy beach body. I will be looking hot and healthy.

Resolution #2. Bring up the GPA! As a college student, my grades haven't been ideal. I also haven't been the most ideal student since I got to college. But I am ready for that to change. It is time that I start taking more responsibility for myself by becoming a better student. This in return should allow me to make better grades and pull up my GPA. With better grades, I will be open to more opportunities, and it will feel really freaking good to make a few A's.

Resolution #3. Build stronger bonds with family and friends! Although I have never been extremely shy or reserved, I am closed off to the people who love me. I have never just completely brought down all of my guards and been open with someone which makes me feel lonely. I am tired of the loneliness. I think it is time that I was more open and more myself. I am hoping this will allow me to have stronger relationships with loved ones. Also I believe learning to be more open will let me open up more easily to strangers. I want to make new friends. I also want to meet a new guy who would be deserving of my heart. Which leads to...

Resolution #3.1. Find a boyfriend(s)! I am ready to start dating around after being burned by a previous relationship. The said previous relationship took a lot of time from me and therefore I have never really dated before. I am ready to face this new adventure. I just want to put myself out there and have fun with the whole thing. Hopefully it will lead to Prince Charming. Let the fairy tale begin!

Resolution #4. Try something new! I want to break outside of my comfort zone and do something new. I feel without always putting this one on the list life gets boring. I plan on keeping this resolution many times throughout the year beginning with this blog. It will be nice to spice life up and experience something I never have before.

I believe those resolutions are enough to keep me busy for one year. I will update as much as possible with my current progress at the gym and school. I will also post all the gossip about myself with my girlfriends and of course stories about my dating struggles and (fingers crossed) successes. Wish me luck, and hopefully the best will happen for me in 2011.
