93

Hey there and welcome to the first post of 2018.

It's been a while since I've written a post like this - casual, with no depressing/epiphanic story prefacing it. If you've been following along for the past 93 or so days, you'll most likely have guessed that I'm going through some tough times right now. Right now is not the right time to tell the story, but I don't know if there ever will be "right" time.

Anyways, what is the point of this post?

It's time to do some New Year's Resolutions!

Kevin's Will-Definitely-Do Resolutions of 2018
1) Write a post at least every two weeks
2) Finish a long-ish short story by the end of the year
3) Improve my writing
4) Go to Japan
5) Get accepted into the UBC Computer Science Program
6) Do a co-op
7) Play a game of ulti
8) Start running (once it's warmer)
9) Get that Instagram feed off the ground
10) Pass my road test and get my N
11) Have my braces removed
12) Love myself
13) Do something cool, like really cool
14) Write a First Impressions and Final Thoughts for every season
15) Cry
16) Get over my fear of asking strangers if they need help/want a seat on transit
17) Achieve over 90% on a midterm
18) Achieve over 90% in a course
19) Make my life colourful
20) Wean myself off social media to the point where I don't depend on it (01-29-2018)
21) Not get sick for the rest of the year (07-31-2018)
22) Upgrades to room! Namely new bed sheets, new desk, and some sort of shelving (08-09-2018)

So there you have it. I'll set a reminder in my calendar for the end of 2018 to write a post following up on each of these items and if I successfully achieved my goals. I'll also keep adding to this list as time passes and new ideas come up (including the date that I added the item, for reference purposes).

Wish me luck, and I hope that you have a bright and happy 2018.

P.S. yes, the stories are coming back
