Anyway, I surely didn't experience some sudden epiphany where I decided to make this my best year ever or create a new me in the new year. I did, however, get that customary boost of motivation to start what will hopefully be another incredible year.
In observance of any goal-setter's favorite holiday, I opted out of a single, specific resolution and instead decided to make a list of fifteen "goals" for 2015 - revolutionary I know. Some of them are professionally-oriented, some are personal goals, and some are just for fun! Regardless, I'm looking forward to working toward each of these and can't wait to see what I'm able to accomplish!
1// Register for and/or take the LEED Green Associate and AP ID+C exams.
2// Visit Toronto, Canada.
3// Start using my bike for daily transportation.
4// Spend more time on creative endeavors - paint more often, fill more sketchbooks.
5// Save enough to cover a month's worth of expenses.
6// Learn how to render scenes in 3DS Max.
7// Attend NeoCon in Chicago, IL in the spring.
8// Start a potted veggie garden.
9// Make my physical and mental health a regular part of my daily routine.
10// Read more design history and theory books.
11// Watch as many films on AFI's 100 Years, 100 Movies list as possible.
12// Sing at a karaoke bar.
13// Cross off at least five items from my ROC bucket list (...coming soon!)
14// Get a small, part-time job - preferably at a coffee shop.
15// (Re-)Teach myself how to speak, read, and write Spanish.
Cheers to 2015!
