Resolutions TAG

My new year has been off to a very shaky start, emotionally speaking. I've started off 2014 sort of down in the dumps about life and money situations and all sorts of other issues. I just know that I didn't plan on starting off the new year in tears and sadness. Luckily I have friends that have me looking forward to things once I go back to campus. Don't worry it will be documented in photo and video! But, I thought I might as well brighten my mood by answering the questions from NikkiTutorials' Resolutions TAG. Here we go!

This tag is broken up into two parts: Looking back on 2013 and Resolutions for the new year.

Looking back:

1. Name 3 things you did this year that you're proud of

The first thing that I'm proud of myself for accomplishing was graduating high school. I never seriously doubted that I would graduate high school and I know that people will argue that compared to other life experiences this task is fairly easy but you know what? it's a huge accomplishment at this point in my life and I'm proud of it.

The second thing would have to be getting accepted into the colleges I applied to. I started out really doubtful that I would be accepted at all because I had no confidence in myself. However, I was accepted to all of them that I applied to.

Third would probably be gaining confidence. I'm pretty satisfied with how I've learned to stand up for myself and do things outside of my comfort zone. I'm still not the most social of butterflies but, I'm not as much of a wall flower either.

2. Name 1 thing you wish you would have done differently

This one is kind of a hard one because there are two "events" or "instances" that stand out to me for this question. One being not applying to MORE colleges then I did. I wish I would have had the courage and self-esteem to apply to a few more institutions such as the Art Institute. I think I missed out some with not apply to other institutions and weighing my options better. The second example again has to do with confidence. I wish I would have had the confidence to apply to jobs over the summer before I started college. I feel like I could have used my time better if I would have done that. So, I guess the main thing I wish I would have done differently was to have the confidence to do these things.

3. What was your biggest highlight this year?

I think you probably already know but in case you don't, my biggest highlight of the year was graduating from high school. It has been the proudest moment of my life so far.

4. What was your favorite beauty product this year?

This is a hard one but, I've vowed not to put down my Lorac Pro palette as my favorite product. The reason being, because it's just too new of a product to me. So, my favorite would have to be the whole Curlesque hair care system. You can view my video about it here! It's seriously a miracle treatment for curly hair. I just love it!

5. What was your least favorite beauty product this year?

This one is just too easy and it would have to be any or all of the BB and CC creams. Dear lord, they do NOTHING unless you already have perfect porcelain skin. Honestly, I only kept mine to use as a primer for other foundations. Hopefully, 2014 is a good riddance to the creams!!

6. Who do you thank for being amazing this year?

Without a doubt it would have to be my mother. Even though she does things to piss me off she has been there for me no matter what in 2013. :)

Resolutions:

7. What makeup/ beauty resolutions do you have for this year?

I definitely want to make more makeup tutorials here and on my youtube channel. I want to explore and expand my knowledge of makeup with these tutorials. I love making them so much so I definitely want to make more!

8. What fashion resolutions do you have for this year?

Hmm, I haven't really thought of this one. I suppose I'm going to try to be more fashion forward and look more put together for class.

9. What are your personal resolutions?

I wrote a post earlier that detailed some of my more personal resolutions but, it doesn't hurt to review and state them again. First off, I'm really serious about making use of the gym on campus and going there 3-4 times a week. Second, I really need to focus on my classes this semester and not skip as much. This brings my to one of my final resolutions and that would have to be making the deans list. I really want to make the deans list this year (both semesters if I can)! I'm confident I can do it if I can go to class each time!!

10. Name 1 thing you want to check off your bucket list this year

I want to check off two! First of all, I want to reach 100 subscribers on Youtube in 2014. Second, I want to go on a road trip with my friends and not give a shit where we end up. I just want to go!

I hope you enjoyed this TAG and you respond with your own answers via blog post or video! Have a wonderful second day of your new year!
