consume less sugar
too much!

Does it make any sense that after I add this goal to my list I eat donuts and drink more than a normal amount of soda for me in one day?

I’m not overweight, so I’m not doing this to try and lose weight, but diabetes runs in my family, and that does scare me. I want to eat better for myself so that I don’t end up relying heavily on medication when I’m older.

I’ve been working my brains around a budget. I plan on moving out of my parents house, which means the added expenses of rent, utilities, internet, etc…with student loans to pay, it’s…definitely not going to be as comfy as living at home, but that’s not the point of moving out is it?

Hopefully I’ll be able to get this figured out…



watch 1 anime episode everyday
Haha

I feel like such a dork adding this as a goal, but I realize more and more that the life I knew is now my childhood and it’s slowly fading away as the people I grew up with…grow up and outgrow.

Perhaps it’s silly and melodramatic, but it’s sad to see friends grow out of similar hobbies which drew us together in the first place, anime being one of them. I heard from a friend that Toonami aired it’s last episode yesterday, and though it’s been ages since I’ve actually watched anything on Cartoon Network, it made me realize I’ve done some growing and outgrowing myself.

Perhaps it’s just me hanging on too tightly to good memories, but I’d like to linger a little longer and reintroduce myself to this hobby.

As long as I’m responsible as an adult I see no problem entertaining my inner dork :P
