Finally summer is here in Canada and I can't believe how relieved I am. Now that school is out I have time to do the things I have kept putting off during the busy winter months and I'm beyond excited. Some of these things require actually leaving my house though so we'll see how that turns out... But, anyway I have so many little random project that I have been slowly working on and goals that I have set for this summer and I feel so productive! As a procrastinator though it is easy to just end up scrolling through tumblr, reading blogs, and watching youtube videos from 9am-2am the next morning... Although my first little project does have to do with scrolling tumblr for hours and hours...
I know that it may seem like I'm just trying to put off everything by scrolling though tumblr for hours on end but I'm actually collecting photo's that I am going to put up on my wall behind my bed. I have been working on this for what seems like a year but really its only been a few days. I can't wait to get the pictures up because I have just had this empty wall staring me in the face since I renovated my room 3 YEARS ago when I was a freshman. I'm just getting a bit bored with my room and I really want to change it up a bit.
The next goal (I guess you could call it) I have is to learn guitar and re-learn how to play piano. I played piano when I was younger and was quite good but I had to quit because I was getting to busy as I got older. I regret quitting so much because I appreciate music so much more now and wish I could play beautifully like some of my friends can. Also, I got a guitar for my graduation present and it has just been sitting in the corner ever since I got it. Sure I'll pick it up every once in a while learn a couple cords and actually really enjoy it. But then all of a sudden a huge wave of stuff will hit me and I'll have no time to play. So now that I have time I have been playing and hopefully I can be kind of decent by the end of summer!
You can't make a to-do/goals post without mentioning exercise and healthy eating am I right or am I right? I know this is very basic of me but really I feel like I really need to start exercising more and eating healthier. Exams always cause me major stress and that also means eating... ALOT. Which is not a good thing especially with summer having already arrived. So, I have been trying to exercise 4 times a week (not including my dance rehearsals) and cutting out the junk food, which surprisingly isn't that hard if you just don't buy it and keep it out of your pantry.
Now this goal will be the toughest for me. To get out, do stuff with friends, and be happy. As a country kid it does get kind of difficult to go places because it is hard to either borrow a vehicle or get a ride from a parent. I have always envied the people that can just walk to their friends houses or bike because it's just so easy for them to be with their friends and have adventures. While I seem to be cooped up in my room on my laptop all day. I know this is mostly my fault though because I don't make much of an effort to meet up with friends so I need to make a change. I need to stop rejecting friends and saying "I'm busy" when in reality I'm just busy eating and watching Netflix because I'm feeling down that day but that seems to be happening more and more lately. So, I have realized that choosing to leave my house and do something even if I don't want to will end up boosting my overall happiness and I will spend less nights staring at the ceiling feeling sorry for myself. With that said, I am excited to get rolling and be productive with my summer and I hope you are too!
Do you have any goals set for your summer?
