Remember last year when I made a list of goals right after a turned 19? Well now that a year has passed and I've turned twenty, I figured it was time to update you on my progress! I'm proud to say that I reached quite a few of my 20 By 20 goals by my deadline, and I'm here with photo evidence! I also want to add that I'm not giving up on the goals I didn't reach by my twentieth birthday. I'm going to keep striving toward them!
I'll start with the goals I didn't reach...
- Make a daily habit of reading my Bible. I definitely improved, but still wouldnt say making time to read my bible is part of my everyday routine.
- Make a photo book for high school.
- Be on time. I would say I improved.. slightly. Definitely still not an "on time" or "five minutes early" type of gal.
- Start singing again.
- Start investing my money.
- Read 20 books. I may not have quite hit my goal of reading 20, but I definitely improved and made more time to read just for fun! A few of my favorites were The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper, the Nanny Diaries, and (OF COURSE) Thirteen Reasons Why.
- Go completely unplugged for a weekend.
- Go to bed by 11pm for a month.
- Tackle my procrastination.
Now for the goals I reached on my 20 By 20 list..
- Watch the sunrise. Woke up at 4am to hike to the Hollywood Sign and catch the sunrise!
- Take a class just for fun. Calligraphy, floral arranging, cappuccino making, or maybe all three! Floral arranging with my sweet momma at La Fluer
- Vote in the presidential election. This year, election day fell right after my birthday. So this was completed soon after I turned twenty.
- Be more generous. With my time, with compliments, with shared moments, with laughs. This isn't something you can quantifiably measure, but I sure do hope that this year was filled with more generosity.
- Do the Hollywood Sign hike. Done! And here's a picture and a blog post to prove it!
- Go on a road trip with friends. What's better than long drives with great friends (and pit stops for coffee of course)? Mandy and I drove through North and South Carolina, then hopped on a train DC! What an adventure.
- Embrace my imperfections. Self love. It's important. Though this blog's motto may be to embrace the perfectly imperfect moments of life, its definitely something that I struggle with. This was a growing year in this department for sure, and I hope that growth will continue as time goes on.
- Travel to a new country. Before this past summer, I had never been to Mexico!
- Go to a live taping of a show. I didnt exactly sit in the audience for a live taping like I intended when I wrote this goal, but I was in one instead, which is even better! Here is my interview on Larry King Now!
- Get an internship. I had a fashion PR internship at an awesome firm in Downtown LA during spring quarter of my freshman year at UCLA!
- Spread joy. I hope that my actions here on Practically Imperfect and in life helped make each day a little more joyful!
