As we approach an end to another year, I sit back and reminisce. This year has been beyond amazing, so many ups and downs but it has all been worth it.
– Keep my blog up to date
I think I definitely hit this one right on the head. From last year, my blog hit a total of 36 posts, with most of the posts reaching a high of five views per post purely from my family reading what I had to babble on about. This year, I am proud to say, 156 posts later I really did keep my blog up date this year. Especially as I managed to post 120 more posts than last year, with them averaging around 2-3 posts a week.
– Be a better person (i.e. not judge people)
Well, whole heartedly I can’t say I fully accomplished this, purely because I still cannot control myself when I see people badly dressed and I do tend to think, what on earth are you wearing and why did you pair that with this?! Although, I have tried to redeem myself by helping the less fortunate where I can and doing good deeds. I still think I accomplished it though.
– Take any opportunity that will help me to be more successful
Yes, most definitely. Joining Zomato as an active blogger, they have helped me out a great deal and really given me that push into the foodie community. Also attending various other bloggers events, I have found that more people knew about my blog than I thought!
– Pass all my exams this year
100% accomplished this one. I successfully passed all my first year exams, which did allow me to transfer to The University of Westminster to continue my Biochemistry degree in second year. I am absolutely loving it! Having made some amazing friends and really settled in, it was worth the wait!
– Get Blue up to County Level standard showing
This one, sadly… I didn’t manage to finish. A touchy topic indeed. June this year, we came to the heart breaking decision to sell my beloved boy. Since I am in London at university for most of the year, I couldn’t give him the time and love he deserved for him to flourish and really reach his potential. To this day, I still miss him very dearly. Sometimes you just need to let things you love go, so they can grow.
