In the midst of writing this post I concluded that it's better for me to avoid resolutions, mainly because they feel almost too finite. I feel like they bring a ridiculous pressure and I end up really resenting them and almost enjoy breaking them - which is wholly against the purpose of them.
Therefore
I've decided upon six hopefully
realistic goals for 2016 that
I'm going to try my up-most best to achieve...some that I'm going to look back
at on days when I'm feeling pretty useless in the hope that I'll have achieved
at least one thing on my list.
1. GO
BACK TO AMERICA
As you're
probably very aware from the many, many USA
Vlogs that have taken me soo long to edit, Tyler and I finally made
it out to America in the summer. It was undoubtedly the best, most fun month of
my life (thus far). We visited my dearest American pals from University and
fell very much in love with LA. I'm SO keen to repay my parents for the trip
(interning for many years left me with absolutely no savings)
and get back out there. We're already discussing a possible trip to Miami in
the summer and NYC (again - as two days totally wasn't enough) in the winter.
*on a
slight side note, my current dream is to go to a screening of The Tonight Show
with Jimmy Fallon, so if it’s possible to do that whilst we’re there 2016 will
be a reaaaaaaal dream come true.
2. HIT
10,000 SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE
I was
having so much fun filming, editing and sharing videos with y'all last year and
I'm so excited to start again - my videos will be resuming next week instead of
this as I'm annoyingly a poorly peach suffering from some hideous allergies and
no one needs to be subjected to my puffy face on camera at the mo.
I’m
looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and have really high
hopes for 2016 on YouTube, 10,000 may be a little optimistic but I'm going to
give it my best shot. In the meantime ensure you're subscribed here.
3. GET
SOME ABS
This year I turn 25 and I'm determined that this will be the year that I won't have a total meltdown when summer comes around. My boyfriend's brother and his fiancĂ© are also getting married abroad in May and I'm on a huge health kick in preparation of that. I’ve started some ridiculous but effective workout on a treadmill where I lunge whilst lifting weights, which I’m hoping will leave me feeling less self-conscious in front of everyone around the pool.
4. BE
A BETTER PAL
I was
such a sneezy mess over Christmas that I sadly missed out on catching up with
friends from home I realllly want to make as much of the time I have
this year as I can. I’ve never been good at managing time and I’m always either running
a little late or leaving things to the absolute last minute. I’m hoping to
change that this year and use my time more effectively: catching up with old
friends and making time for new ones.
5. HIT
OVER 1K ON INSTAGRAM
I've
realllly started to care a lot, maybs
too much about my Instagram
grid. Despite always stressing over each image and caption, once it's up I quite
like the whole thing. I wasn't especially 'on it' last year so I'm currently at
799/800/803 - you know that horrible moment you fluctuate between a nice round
number and a not so nice round number... Instagram's definitely my most used
app so, as I'm aiming to be super productive this year it'd be nice to really
utilise it.
I'm
actively trying to be a lot more on it this year so, if you're not following me
already come say hi here, I'm @sarahrosegoes
6. BE
PRODUCTIVE
I think
all the years I spent interning, assisting and freelancing have left me
constantly feeling like I’m not doing enough. Even now with a full time job I
always feel like I should be doing more. I re-started this blog simply because
I felt like I was being so inactive and unproductive in fashion and beauty
related things whilst the USA vlogs were going up on my channel. This year I’m
hoping to do a test shoot once a month

your goals for 2016? Comment below or tweet me @sarahrharrison to let me know :)
