Hey Everyone!

three things that we wanted to improve for this year:

We’ve
created a schedule in which there is a new post every single day on the blog.

One
of my main goals this year is to be SUPER active! I didn’t have the chance to
last year because of Year 12, but now I can post as much as I want, MUHAHAHAHA.
I also want to be active in the comments, checking out other people’s blogs and
respond to emails as well as seeking out what I want.
BOOKTUBE:
Readlikewildfire,
my booktube channel, has been going pretty good so far! I am pretty proud of
myself for frequent posting even though I find it extremely difficult and time
consuming managing both my beauty channel (and book channel) and the book one. Currently,
I’ve prioritized my book channel over my beauty channel. I might have to slow
down to posting one video a week when University begins but I really really
want to continue doing these! My goal is to post two videos a week. I also want
to reach out to other booktubers! Especially Australian ones!

BEAUTYTUBE:
My
beauty channel is Allthewickedwander and I’m not really considering it as a
beauty channel but more of a channel that is not about books haha. I am really
passionate about doing Film and Television and my aim for this holidays is to
create a piece of work that I can use as a portfolio piece. I want to do a
project, perhaps a music video or a short film, of high quality. I also don’t
mind doing Document Your Life videos! They are beautiful to watch and make.
WRITING:
Ah,
Writing. One of the loves and hates of my life. 2014 was actually a great
writing year for me! It was a great escape from the stresses of the final year
of schooling and I produced a piece of writing that broke a lot of boundaries
for me. I leaped out of my comfort zone several times and it was nice not to be
restricted in writing. I really really enjoyed writing that story and a lot of
people enjoyed reading it thankfully! I’ve already got a lot on my plate this
year, but lets add one more to the list. I’ve written and finished so many
stories that I’ve initially wanted to publish but didn’t have the time and
energy to make that happen. This year I want to brush up one of my stories,
finish the story I was writing last year and also write another idea that I had
and make that one mind blowing.
I’ve been world building that one currently and consistently through out
the year but I unfortunately I cannot get the characters right in my head. This
is going to be a long project but it makes me happy!
READING
- GOODREADS CHALLENGE:
So
I have never ever done a Booktubethon/Readathon let alone a Goodreads Challenge
and I thought that 2015 would be the year to change that. My Goodreads
challenge is to read 50 books in 2015 and I have no clue if I will read that
many as when you think about it, 50 is A LOT! I’m not sure if I will ever join
a Booktubethon/Readathon because I don’t think I would enjoy the book while
stressing with how many days have passed by me. Maybe though. Maybe.
Graphic
Novels: I used to read Graphic novels a lot but now they have totally
dissapered from my current life (if we don’t count that captain underpants book
I have) and I kind of really miss them! I don’t have any particular book but if
you have any recommendations feel free to leave them down below.
Audiobooks:
I have attempted to listen to books but it has never really worked out. I guess
I just want to give it a try this year!
TV SHOWS:
So
I watched a few amines at the end of last year and I realized, gosh, I really
want to get into this thing. I enjoyed them immensely and I am not one to be
bothered by a language barrier as long as there are subtitles. I had a list I
wanted to watch and I’m hoping to make my way down it rapidly. The same goes to
Korean/ Japanese Dramas. I’ve watched a couple on both sides and I loved them.
Ely and I’s favorite Japanese drama is Hana Yori Dango and I do think everyone
should watch that because it is ridiculously fantastic. Just like reading, I
aim to be more diverse this year!
LIFE:
I
am so easily disheartened by other people and I know that is one this I definitely
want to change about myself. I need to stop being overly bitter and focus on
myself for once. The only person you have to live with the rest of your life is
you, anyway. There is the quote on pin interest that says: “ I just want to
make beautiful things even if nobody cares”. That is truly what I inspire to
do. No one likes someone who is
bitter.
Get
a job: So I can get more money for books.
Exercise:
This year I actually truly want to get fit! I am going to start of with doing
30 minutes everday. Then I am going to attend gym classes for spin, Shbam and
Zumba! Also, No soft drink.
Academic:
This year will be my first year of university and since I have no clue what to
expect, the only goal that I want to set for myself right now is to keep up! A
lot of people have told me that it is very hard to keep up during University so
there we go, those are my goals.
I
would love to know all your new years resolutions!
