Summer Goals

Over the summer it’s easy to get bored, and this usually results in staying inside in front of a TV. For this reason, I would like to make lists that would give me fun things to do. After all I have three months of no school, so I should take advantage of the extra time.

My bedroom looks clean, but when you get a closer look it’s cluttered and sloppy. Over the past year I have made a list about what needs to be organized and here it is:

• My closet
  • Hang up hand-me-downs
  • Donate clothes I don’t wear anymore
• Bookshelf
  • Buy new books
  • Donate books I don’t need
• Put away things that are on top of my dresser and desk
• Clean out under my bed
• Organize drawers of clothes
• Clean any access clutter

Aside from being active and following a routine improving my art skills and techniques is my main summer goals. In order to achieve this I can:

• Use the How to Draw book my Grandma got me
• Practice painting with watercolor and acrylic paint
• Make friendship bracelet
• Use my air dry clay
• Color drawings with colored pencils
• Practice drawing portraits
• Paint new wall decorations

My Dream Room

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

There goes my daily 9:00 alarm, and last night I fell asleep instantly since my phone was in another room. Like any other day I get out of bed and immediately began doing my chores: taking out the trash, emptying the recycling bin, and cleaning the litter box. I like to shower at night, but I still put on a cute, comfy outfit. Once I’m settled I decide I want scrambled eggs with half an avocado,while I eat my breakfast I watch one episode of a show called Scrubs.

Today I set the goal to organize my jewelry box, but this gets interrupted when I get a text from my mom asking me to start a load of laundry. As much as I don’t want to go back to my original task, I commited to something so I finish the lengthy task. By now it’s 11:23 so I ask my friend Ava if she can meet me at the park in between our houses. I eat a turkey sandwich and grapes, while I wait for her to respond. We decide to make friendship bracelets so I get some string, text my parents that I’m going, and ride my bike there.

Around 4:30 we decide to walk around the neighborhood, which ends about an hour later when I’m asked to go back home. After dinner I start another load of laundry, shower, and write goals for the next day. Before I know it it’s 10:30 so I head to bed.

I want a neat, clean, and sustainable room

I want to dress well

The way I dress leaves an impression

I want a neat, clean, and sustainable room

I want to redecorate my bedroom

I want my walls to be less cluttered

My room should be a fun space

What time of year do you feel the most depressed? This is a question that I have asked many of my friends and all but one answered summer. I feel the exact same way and this year I want to avoid it by creating healthy habits.

Over this past year I have made a mental list about skills and things I want to improve in my life. This blog will encourage me and hopefully you to achieve certain goals. I will walk you through how I plan to become a better artist, have a more organized room, exercise, and avoid habits related to depression. Over the past summers I have been glued to the TV and I have stayed in pajamas until 1 pm. This summer will be different in all the best ways!
