By the end of this year, everything I’ve ever known will (hopefully) change as I move away to university. I want to study Biomedical Science – that’s the end goal.
Small steps have to be taken to get me there. To get into the uni I want to go to – Southampton – I would have to get AAB in my A-Levels, which I should be able to do but that’s more where the smaller goals come in. As chemistry is my weakest subject I think that will be my B, but it’d be nice if I could get an A in that too along with biology and maths.
As exams are approaching ever more quickly, I have decided that every week I need to learn a chapter of both my biology and chemistry textbook. Seven days to learn about 20 pages of notes is far more doable than cramming 600+ pages into a month, which I feel like if I don’t plan in advance I will end up having to do.
Completely off from the last goals, I want to get better at taking selfies. It’s an odd one but I am absolutely dreadful at taking photos of myself or having people take photos of me. I want to have photos to help me remember the year and to aid my blog as it develops, however with how things are going at the mo I will be in none of them. Below is a couple I took earlier today after having done my makeup only for my friend who I was due to be going out with to cancel, so I thought I’d make the most of it and get some practice in. Any tips would be greatly appreciated xxx
The main goal of mine this year is to not have any regrets. A lot of my other goals can be encompassed by this but after having been in a hospital for the final week of 2017, it put into perspective how quickly things can change – especially where two people died in my bay while I was there. I’ve already told myself I am going to tell the boy I like (who happens to be one of my best mates) that I like him, but how soon that will happen I do not know. It’s just one of those things that once it’s done, I feel like I’ll be better for it an I would regret it if I didn’t.
Finally, I want to make this blog worth reading. Worth reading for you guys and worth reading for me when the year comes to an end so I can look back and reflect on how I’ve grown as a person.
Thank you for sticking with me, and feel free to let me know how you think I could improve. I’d also love to hear about some of your goals for 2018.
Lots of love,

Happy New Year! My tip for taking selfies (at home at least) is to set up your phone with a timer and set it somewhere so most of your upper body is in frame with your face (: it’s very flattering and makes for ease of posing and no hand-cramps haha hope you reach all your goals in 2018
