So the year is way over and even though I haven’t had a real relationship, I’ve definitely been guilty of continuing a previous one in certain ways that don’t exactly fit into being freely single. However, I never really entered a relationship, so I’m counting this goal as being done.
I’ve decided that despite not wanting to be tied down to any specific place or person, I am going to allow a few dates here and there just for the fun of it and for the sake of getting to meet new people.
I’m also going to be more honest with people I’m not interested in and let them know right away instead of being nice about it.
I’ve learned a lot from this goal and about the people around me. I think everyone should try it for a little at least. :)

How I did it: I volunteered at a local arts festival and tutored a Spanish girl in ESL a couple of times a week. I'd definitely like to pursue literacy campaigns in the future. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just flat out denied any guy who wanted to date me. I'm not going to say it was easy, especially in the cases of people I was closer with, but it was kind of exhilarating. I found a lot of people were confused by my behavior as if they had never considered being single or staying single or whatever the case may be, but then I noticed that some of my friends started being more selective with the men they dated and I thought that was inte… Read how I did it…
I had to give up the ESL tutoring due to time constraints and a family emergency, but I do plan on continuing to help out this organization any way I can.
I’d also like to do one day or weekend volunteer events to try out different organizations I may like to work for in the future.
I would still like to keep a book, but I’d also like to start a blog or add this type of content to the one I already have. I’m going to do either song of the days with you tube clips if available or quote of the days. I think it’ll be kinda neat.
