New Year’s Eve is the perfect excuse to get together with friends, dress up in sparkly dresses, live it up and post pictures on social media. I am guilty of all of this. I myself spent the last night of the decade living it up, babysitting, eating Chinese food and watching High School Musical The Musical The Series - a great show might I add. Oh and I went to bed at 11:30. On purpose.

When I woke up the next morning, I saw a lot of people posting a really creative caption with their pictures. Everyone was like, ~20/20 Vision~, ~I can see clearly~ blah blah blah. Stop. Stop trying to be me. Stop trying to be like US. Those of us who are blessed with having 20/20 vision don’t appreciate the rest of you using our most advantageous trait to get a few extra likes on your Instagram picture.

That being said, I’ll have you know that I have always wanted glasses. Then again, I said that about braces because I thought they would make me look cool and we all know how I looked with braces: insert emoji here: 

Anyways. You are all forgiven. And now that we’re past this, I want to share my goals for 2020. 

I’ve never been one to make resolutions, much less keep them throughout the year. I like to workout on NYE to end the year with a bang, and on the first day of the new year to start the year off with, you know, a bang. 

Eat less bread, Megan. Good one. Eat less candy, Megan. You got it. Gain some self control. As if. 

I don’t see the point in making resolutions revolving around exercise or eating healthier because there are way too many variables that come into play. Honestly, I find myself going in and out of cycles throughout the year where I workout every day for weeks, and then nothing for a month. It happens. I’m as inconsistent as it gets.

I want to write down a list of things I want to accomplish this year so I can hold myself accountable and actually remember them - for those of you who know me, I have an amazing long-term memory but an awful short-term one. So, with that being said, here are some things I want to do this year… 

1. Get at least two to three clips under my belt - clips meaning articles and publications.

2. Do something with “College Sucks Sometimes” - all of the anecdotes I received from people about why college isn’t always the best. 

3. Read more. I used to read all of the time and I have somehow lost my patience and reading stamina. Time to build it up again. 

4. Spend less money on clothes. You’re welcome Mom. I’m really going to try. 

5. Get a job at school. It’s way too easy to spend money in a big city and I am bleeding myself dry over here. 

6. Stop interrupting people while they talk. Alexis, this one’s for you. It’s like I don’t even realize I do and I don’t do it to be rude. I just CAN’T HELP IT. But I will help it. That’s what 2020 is for. 

7. Learn to blow dry my own hair. Mom this one is also for you. I’m going to be 20 for Pete’s sake; I can’t have my mommy drying my hair anymore.

8. Volunteer more. Whether it ends up being something I do over the summer, or something I can do during the year, I want to do more to help. 

9. Stop sweating so much. Why is this still an issue and why I am constantly experiencing the hot flashes of a 50-year-old menopausal woman? 

10. Watch The Office two more times through before it gets taken off of Netflix in 2021. That will make it 6 times I think. 

11. Get my Spanish back. I used to be really good and since I haven’t taken a Spanish class in almost two years, I’ve lost it. Necesito mi español de vuelta!

I think that about does it. SOMEONE please hold me accountable. Speak to me only in Spanish. Quiz me on The Office trivia. Manage my spending habits. Ask me to post a How To video of me blow drying my hair. Ask me why something hasn’t been written. Tell me to write something. Help a girl out. 

I can see alllllll of this happening. You want to know why? 

Because I ACTUALLY have 20/20 vision.
