How the heck is it already March??
It seems like just yesterday I was counting down from ten and wearing a dollar-store hat that read "2016".
These past two months have flown by, every day blending into the next, filled with lots of studying, work, tears, and school. I feel as if I haven't even had time to acknowledge my goals that I had set for this new year, and now that I do, I'm seeing that I have not even scratched the surface of them.
Now that it's March, we are crawling out of the darkness that comes with the winter, into a new setting of light and life. As the flowers pop up from their hidden homes in the ground, and the air gets a bit warmer each day, my motivation grows alongside the spring time.
And I am here to create a list.
Not a grocery list.
Not a list of tonight's homework.
Not a list of things I have to do today.
A list of life-time goals.
I will track and follow these goals as long as it takes, until they are done, or I am dead. (Okay, that was a bit dramatic.)
This list will contain every goal I have, relating to every aspect of my life. They will track my progress of evolution as a person, a YouTuber, a friend, a role-model, a student, and everything in between.
I encourage you to make your own list and share it to the world, that way we can all support and motivate each other to reach our maximum awesomeness.
So enough babble. I present to you, my List.

OMG REESE!! Hi I'm one of your subscribers and I have a blog too! Let me just quickly say how much I LOVE your videos, vibes and the things you have a passion for! I was just thinking about this today about how 1/4 of our year has already vanished, and I'm going to do a post about it. But, just letting you know this is such a cool idea that I love! Did you come up with it yourself? :) xx

Your writing is really impeccable! I love your list, and all the goals you've set. However I don't want you to become overwhelmed. Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will. Some of those things on your list will just happen naturally, and others might not be important to you in the future. For example feeling comfortable with friends or getting a certain score on your SATs. And sometimes you just need to open your eyes and look at what you have in front of you. Everyone of your subscribers would be exhilarated to be friends with you, so if you're looking for some new friends they might be right in front of you. I for one would love to be your friend. Keep doing what you're doing, and as long as your happy don't stress too much about a list, but having one is always great. Especially when you can check things off!

ReplyDeleteThank you for being my inspiration Reese! I currently have my trials tomorrow for a Form 3 government exam that's coming up in October. Lately, I've been slacking off homework (I'm not even kidding I have like 6 essays that I haven't done yet), I tried to revise but my concentrations has worsen throughout the school year, and I've been slacking off my stretching routine ever since cheer season was over and my team lost. Although I'm positive that I'm gonna not do well in my tests this week, thanks to you, I'm 100 percent sure that I will work my butts off to get straight As for my official test in October. I hope you continue to upload motivational study related or back to school videos. Your videos and blogs not only motivates me to work harder and turn over a new leaf, they also make me more confident to confront my insecurities. After my trials, I'm thinking about starting a blog, just like you. The chances of anyone reading it are about as low as my grades but hopefully one day a miracle might happen. Till then, have a nice school year!
