2019 Goals


If you missed my last two posts you might not have heard that I said I was going to be sharing with y'all some of my 2019 goals! I think it's nice to set goals for yourself so that you know what you want to accomplish. :)

*side note there are like 3 different types of photos in this post but it's cool we're accepting in this household
  
-Post at least once a month on Youtube + get to 150 subscribers 

Especially with starting high school I'm not sure how active I can be on youtube but I still want to try. Plus because I don't know how much I'm going to be posting I don't expect to grow that much. I currently have 120 subscribers so 150 is only gaining 30 which I think I reasonable. 

-2,500 Instagram Followers 

I haven't been growing much on insta lately??? But I really really want to?? I've had insta for a little more than a year and I have 1,500 so I think another 1k in a year is manageable??


-Post on my blog at least once a week

I think I've talked about this before but with high school, I'm really scared I'm going to be a lot less active on here but I don't want to be and ahhhhh. I am going to post at least once a week though hopefully. 

-Think about the gifts I give people

I've realized I actually really enjoy giving people gifts but a lot of times I put it off till the last minute, especially for birthdays. I want to stop doing that.


-Figure out Pinterest 

I have read soooooo many times and have been told sooooo many times by other bloggers that Pinterest is one of there main traffic sources. It's not that for me and I want to figure out why and what I can do to change it. Basically, I need to put some time into it. I would appreciate suggestions!! 

-Do something to my hair 

Just some kind of change. Maybe cut it a bit shorter or dye it a different color or maybe even just straighten it for once. I've been having the urge to change up my hair for a while.


-Decorate my room and appreciate it and all of the new house things 

Sometime this year we're going to be moving into our new house!!! I'm going to have my own room and it's actually going to be new (which I've never had before) so I get to pick everything out and basically I just want to do a good job.

-Have a good start to high school and join things 

I've mentioned high school so many times in this post but I'm scared y'allllll. Like. It's a lot. You guys are probably rolling your eyes at me like wow Nabila I'm in college shut up but like ahhhhhhhh. I want to make an effort to join things and try all of the things. And also make some new friends!!


-Take around a water bottle with me everywhere 

I have decided water bottles are the key to drinking a lot of water. They are basically magic. Soooooo I want to get a cute one that I actually like and try bringing it with me more places! One place I definitely need to bring a water bottle to is school, but I never have because I don't want to carry it lol. 

-Use a calendar

I've always loved calendars and the thought of being organized but I never have really done it??? Which is super bad?? Going to high school and also being a blogger + youtuber I need to get my calendar game up. A lot of people have content calendars which I've also never done. I want to start scheduling everything.


-Think about + learn about starting a photography business

I've been wanting to do this for the longest time! It would just be so cool. One thing holding be back is because I don't have a legit camera except for my phone and I thought people wouldn't take me seriously. This is probably actually true so I should probably also work on getting a legit camera.

-Figure out another income for myself/think about jobs + general money things

I've been making some money online (you can find out how to do that yourself here) and I want to work on that more and find new ways. Maybe something along the lines of an online course?? Or maybe a coach?? Or I would love to sell graphics?? I also want to reach out to more people about babysitting and just explore all of the money job optionsssss. Also bank account?? That's a thing?? Look at that maybe??



-Read 40 books 

I only read 38 books this year and it one hundred percent killed me. My reading has been down sooooooooooo down and if I don't read at least 40 books this year I will be kind of mad at myself so I'm putting it as a goal.

-Travel somewhere new

Traveling is something that makes me so so so so happy and traveling and exploring a new place makes me even happier. :) Plus I'm pretty sure I'm going to be able to complete this goal this summer (stay tuned for updates!!).


-Keep writing letters to people

I've been writing lots of letters to people and just doing general pen pal/snail mail things lately and it has made me soooo happy. I want to continue that in the new year.

-Have an A/B average in all classes + survive finals

My goal is to usually have an A average in all classes but with algebra and high school, I've decided no haha. I had midterms lately and I got kind of low B's for both of my high school credit classes and it's very not good (side note this is kind of bad for me personally but I know they are actually good grades and that could be so great for other people don't come at me). I need to study extra super duper hard for finals. 

That's all for now! You can find two of my other goal posts here and here. 

I would love to read some of your new years resolutions/goals. Comment them down below!

Definitely failed this one. :( I didn't even complete my Goodreads goal of 50. *cries* I sometimes forget to write down when I complete a book but according to Goodreads, I've read 37 books this year. I've read a lot less this past year and it makes me kind of sad.

Yep! Of course not always but in general I would say I was pretty content last year.

-Join another club
Yep yep yep! National Junior Honor Society and Karate.

-Start enjoying exercise and walking more
Yeah no. :( I need to find some kind of exercise I like doing or someone to do it with maybe. I have been healthier though! I was a lot more conscious of my food.

-Grow my blog and start working with more people
I haven't grown my blog that much but I have been growing my other channels. And I have definitellllllly been working with more people.

-Travel somewhere new
New Orleans! It was really fun. :)
