- Stress less. I'm one of those people who lets every little thing get to them and then I just get moody. It doesn't help that I'm a perfectionist either. This year I'm going to try and chill out more and not take on too much stuff and not be able to handle it.
- Get organised. This links in with my previous point. I tend to get stressed when I feel disorganised. This year I will make sure I have my diary on me at all times to make sure I know where I need to be at any given time. This year I will also get my assignments in earlier.
- Cancel plans less. I'm such a phony person sometimes. When I make plans with people, the majority of times, I cancel them. Sometimes I've double-booked, sometimes I'm ill, but sometimes I just can't be bothered. This year I'm going to make more of an effort with everyone.
- Smile more. Someone who I work with said to me "You always look angry" the other day. I'm not going to lie, this made me a little sad. I used to be such a bubbly person when I was younger, but I got to a point where I just stopped. This year I will be happy.
- Enjoy myself more. This fits in with number 4 and 1 really. In order to distress, I need to just enjoy life while I'm young! This year I'm going to live life to the fullest.
- Get outside more. I'm such a homebody. Nothing more I love than a night in. Maybe that's why I'm ill so much, because I spend so much time indoors. This year I'm going to get outside in the fresh air as often as possible.
- Exercise more. I know getting fit is often a New Year's resolution that people tend not to stick to for very long but I'm determined to workout at least 3 times a week. Even if it's just dancing around my room or a brisk 10-minute walk, every little counts. This year I will find more time to work out.
- Look after myself more. Again, this is closely linked to number 7. I need to become healthier, both inside and out. I need to get a proper skincare routine sorted and cut the amount of junk food I eat. This year I will become healthy.
- Read more. Classic books, chick-lit, magazines. A mix of all. This year I will become a bookworm.
- Make more plans and generally be nicer to people. I constantly moan how I never have time to see anyone so once I get organised, I am determined to catch up with friends/family more. This year I plan to meet up with people a lot more often than I did in 2013.
- Save more money. Seeing as I get a student loan and don't have to pay board at home, I should save all of that money as well as a bit of my wages every month. Maybe I'll end up saving for something in particular but for right now, it's just for my future. This year I will put more money aside so I have something to fall back on, should I need it.
- Experiment with make-up more. In fairness, I don't often wear make-up at the moment but when I do, I will ditch the traditional smoky eye and nude glossy lip and try different colours and wear red lipstick. This year, I will reinvent my make-up look.
- Blog more! Again, once I get organised I will have time for my blog. This year I will try to write at least one blog post a week.
- Go after what I want more. Guys, my career, job prospects in general. This year I will make things happen for me.

14 Resolutions for '14
In just over a weeks' time, I will be the big 2-1. Scary times. I feel like I need to become a proper adult with responsibilities. This got me thinking about a blog idea and my aims for the year. So I've decided to make a bucket list for 2014/my 21st year of living.
