happy new year guys!!!!

im honestly lowkey glad that 2023 is over since it was such a bumpy ride for me. i'm halfway through my senior year and otw to go to college in fall!!! yay!!!!

this year i really want to focus on myself and become a version of myself that im really happy with! which means breaking a lot of bad habits and stuff ig. i do have more tangible goals this year but i really want to come out as someone im truly proud of!

i just got back into rollerskating a couple days ago and although i cant really skate anywhere outside my garage quite yet, i want to keep up with skating weekly so that i'll be able to skate around campus in the fall. i need a better helmet though since the one i have rn makes me look stupid.

i want to improve my fluency in my native language, tamil, since i realized last year that i loved talking to people in tamil, so i want to be able to read and write in it too and get to a more fluent level. i also kinda wanna study korean and get my foot into the door in learning that, but i doubt ill be able to focus efforts on learning korean this year.

ive also gotten back into reading!!! considering i havent read books for fun since like 8th grade before this. i like memoirs and im starting to get a little bit into fiction so thats really fun!! i want to read at least 20 books this year and continue that into the future.

other goals i have are starting to work out since i want to start running, going to the gym, and dancing!! i've been interested in kpop dances for a while and at some point i wanna see if i can join my university dance team when ive proven myself to actually be a capable dancer. i want to start posting again on my yt acc and find my sense of style, which im starting to discover slowly now!!

lastly, i really want to keep in touch some friends from hs and make lots more in college! ever since i started my job last summer, ive been confident that i'll find friends wherever i go so honestly it's not too much of a worry for me. but that doesn't mean that i'll suddenly forget about my friends now since i still really do wanna keep in contact with them!
