2017 goals

I'm setting goals instead of resolutions this year. It seems more realistic. If I mess up one day, the next day will come and I can try again. This isn't an all or nothing situation, it's about progress and becoming a better person, as supposed to being a better person over night. 

Academic goals

1. Straight As
2. Apply for graduate school
3. Complete thesis

Lifestyle goals

1. Go to the gym 5x a week
2. Keep consistent sleep schedule
3. Drink at most once per month
4. Keep room clean

Eating related goals

1. Quit purging
2. Lose 10lbs
3. Maintain new weight
4. Eat consistently
5. Quit purging

Other goals

1. Perform slam poetry at an open mic
2. Get involved in volunteering over the summer
3. Visit family more

Bring it on 2017

Last year's resolutions

These were last year's resolutions:

Health:

• Reduce binging and purging to once a week
• Did not achieve this goal but my binging and purging has reduced a lot since last year, so I am proud of my progress, and look forward to achieving this goal in 2017.
• Journal and continue addiction treatment
• Due to hallucinations, my treatment took a a turn and the focus was taken off of addiction work. Again, I hope that with my new meds I am able to go back to journaling and addiction treatment
• Go to group every week
• My group got cancelled but I managed to find other groups and went almost every week. Definite success with this resolution
• No overdoses
• Oops. 

Personal: 

• Don't let mental illness ruin my relationship
• SUCCESS
• Pay back my debts, or at least don't get into more debt
• SUCCESS

Education: 

• Get straight A+ in courses
• lol.... it was one of the worst years for me academically
•  Get a good summer job
• Unfortunately due to the bad academic standing this past year I was not able to get a good summer job, and ended up at a dead end job that worsened my mental health
• Present my research at the Canadian Undergraduate Mathematical Conference
• Did not have the time to get ready for this event, or have the money to go. But I did go to a two week intensive math summer school which I went to instead of this conference
• Write my GRE
• I'll be writing one in February 2017, and one in April 2017
