A Year in a Review

Happy New Year!

Sorry that I barely posted this year. I'll try to do better in 2016! Things have definitely changed from last year. This year, so many things have happened! There are so many things I could have written about, but I'll try to recap some awesome things that happened this year. Earlier this year, I had my first basketball tournament. We played three teams and were so close to third place, but we didn't win. I played basketball in the spring as well and our team was on fire. We won trophies! This summer, I went to a Fall Out Boy concert with my friend Hannah. It's crazy, this January I started listening to them and then, seven months later I went to their concert on the 4th of July! {Fall Out Boy literally just came on Pandora XD} I fell in love with Melanie Martinez. She's an amazing singer and she came out with her first album Crybaby this August. I would've gone to her concert, but it was on a school night and the tickets sold out before I could get any. {Melanie is now playing on Pandora, holy crap} I love Melanie Martinez so much though. This September, I got interested in anime! Beforehand, I'd say I loved anime, but it was really just Pokemon manga and stuff like that. I completed Attack On Titan, Black Butler, Death Note, Sword Art Online, Sword Art Online 2 and I'm in the middle of Blue Exorcist. {But I haven't watched it in weeks /:} My favorite anime is Black Butler and I sort of have a crush on Sebastian. One of my favorite bands is Babymetal, which is a J-pop and heavy metal band. They aren't really heavy metal, but I love the girls of Babymetal so much!  I was a killer Peter Pan for Halloween. I had fake blood all over my shirt and on my face. I had a fake, bloody dagger and a hook in my belt so it looked as if I killed Captain Hook! My basketball season has started this year. I'm officially a Veteran and on Varsity. I made a basket in our first game which was pretty cool. Our team still have 17 games and 2 tournaments to go! This year, I definitely discovered a bunch of my passions and got into a lot of different things from bands to anime to movies. {As Tyler Oakley would say: I finally watched the life changing Mean Girls and Clueless} There lots of awesome things that happened this year and I'm excited for 2016. I feel like I'm slowly learning how to live a happy, healthy lifestyle each and every year. Here's to the next year!

APRIL

News flash: April is upon us. 

Hello!! First off, I just want to state that this blog is just for myself. Last summer, I was always in the mood to do blog posts, but my computer didn't work and I didn't have a blog. I feel like this blog is just here so I have one and I can go to it whenever. I do not expect an audience at all! Anyway, April is on it's way! So much has happened so far in 2015! And I think I'm just speaking for Dan and Phil. Seriously, just three days ago, they announced that they wrote a book and are going on tour! Still crying now TBH. I'm so bloody proud of them! Anyway, this past week, I've been feeling very inspired to be healthy and productive. I've been going outside more and searching lots of workouts. I'm looking forward to the upcoming month of April and I want to share a small list of goals I want to achieve in April. 

1.  First off, exercise! I've been doing basketball for almost 5 months now and this winter was one of the healthiest winters I've ever had. Now, since I don't have basketball everyday anymore, I'm doing to do some more workouts and work on being more flexible because I am not flexible, whatsoever. 
2. Work on more arts and crafts. This weekend, I was painting and it was fun. It inspired me to find different ways to express my creativity. So, I'm going to take the time to work on an art project for fun or something like that. {EDIT: When you're DanandPhilCrafts af} 
3. Lastly, listen to more music. I listen to soo much music. At the start of my blog, my favorite band was Panic! At The Disco and P!ATD and probably My Chemical Romance were the only bands I listened to and obsessed over at that time. Now, I love all these other bands like Fall Out Boy {The Emo Trinity is basically my life}, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Falling In Reverse, Paramore, Muse, etc. This month, I have all these bands that I want to listen to and I want to listen to more SWS and Muse and stuff like that. 

Anyway, that's probably it for my goals for April. I probably should add "Do well in school" or "Don't miss Choir", but I guess the ones up there are the mains. XD A little update on my 2015 New Year's resolutions: 

• I'm a bit more confident. I feel like I can express myself more to my parents and some friends. I definitely a little self concision to what others think, but I learning to not let certain people bother me. I'm definitely not taking too many things too seriously and doing what makes me happy. 
• I made a few internet friends and had some lovely chats, but I didn't make any other friends. I did strengthen one relationship with a friend today.
• I had definitely expanded my music taste and started listening to more and more of my favorite bands. Plus I have been wearing more black. I just really love wearing the color black. 
• Like I said before, I feel like I've been doing good with keeping a healthier lifestyle lately. I've been vegetarian for 3 months now and my teeth are still not the best. Haha...

In case you don't understand exactly all of the things I said up there, go check out my post on New Year's resolutions. Anyway, I guess this is the end of this post. So, don't do drugs, stay in school, eat your veggies, listen to your elders! Bye 4 now!

2015 New Year's Resolutions!

>_<  True.

Ahh. The new year. It's the time where everybody is ready to start the next year of their lives with good intentions and motivation. Then, after the next few weeks, we stop trying/caring about those goals. Haha.. Not all of us are like that. Looking back at my 2014 resolutions, I completed 3/4 of them. That's actually not that bad, definitely a first. This year, I have a lot of stupid resolutions. So, I'm going to share them right here: 

1. Be more confident in myself
2. Make and keep new friends
3. Expand music taste, get into more bands
4. Wear more black & get nerdy, but awesome shirts 
5. Express myself more, talk about who I am and about my passions
6. Do more research [on animals and abuse]
7. Become vegetarian [I'm officially a vegetarian]
8. Keep a healthier lifestyle , try more workouts
9. Learn to not care about what other's think
