I think I need to set goals this summer, so I wouldn't wind up complaining and blaming myself for spending  two whole months doing nothing productive. And I can proudly say that I did well last summer, I achieved almost all of my goals, and I'm more than willing to set new, and more challenging ones.
I am shamelessly admitting that I want to become the person magazines challenge me to be. (Be brave! Be ready to take risks! Don't be afraid of change! Yada yada) It's a short life, after all.

1. I challenge myself to strive for a slimmer, healthier body.

-And how can I do that? I don't have to torture myself in the gym, by running on boring treadmills and breathing in the smell of sweat and manly tears. I can walk my dogs in the small town I live in, I've been residing in my town for almost 7 years now, and I still haven't explored it, I mean really explored it, at all. I guess it's also a nice way to say goodbye to my town and to my dogs before I leave on the 24th for college. 

-By the time I get to Manila, I'd probably jog along with my siblings, or cruise on a Pennyboard which my mom will buy me as soon as we get there. I don't think skating will help me get slimmer but at least I'm outdoors, and that counts right? 

    

      2. Continue playing football

-I'm just glad I get to continue playing football in Ateneo this summer, it's one of the things I looked forward to all year. I love being in my dream school and being around with great people.

      3. Prepare myself for college

-I need to think of who I want to be in college, without lying to myself and others, before I actually step into the biggest change in my life. So far, I have no idea. I do want to grow out my hair, shamelessly wear my glasses again and be really active. So that's a first, I guess. 

      4. Write more, read more

-Reading wouldn't be a problem, but I think I need to take reading into a whole new level, I don't know what exactly that means, but I'm in the process of figuring that out. Writing, though, would be a bit of a challenge, what would I write about, for starters? I outgrew fanfiction, (hopefully not, though!) and I feel like poetry isn't for me, (but I'm still trying), God, I don't know where I would be in my writing.
