I've never been one to make New Year's Resolutions. Ever. I don't really see the point in them to be honest - I've always been perfectly aware of my lack of focus and determination, why make myself feel any worse about it by setting myself (seemingly) impossible goals and setting myself up to fail?
This year, however, I feel like I need a change. Since graduating, I have been a little lost and it has come ot the time that I need to actively take control of things. So with this in mind, I present to you my New Year's Resolutions for 2013:
1-Learn Portuguese
Portuguese is a language that I have always been fascinated by, and as I am trying to start a career in interpreting and translating, an extra language can only be a bonus, right?
2-Learn Dutch
Another language-based resolution! While it may not be as 'sexy' as Portuguese, I'd really love to learn a Germanic language, and given that I want to eventually move back to Belgium, I think it would be useful.
3-Save more, spend less
So many times, my lack of fincncial sense has gotten in my way, stopping me from doing what I want. Also, I am somewhat pessimistic when it comes to politicians and bankers, and I honestly do not believe that state pensions will even exist by the time I am a bitter old biddy. What's the harm in saving for my retirement early?
Time will tell if I will actually accomplish any of these, but here's hoping!
