25 Accomplishments of 2014

I don't remember who it was, but last year I saw someone talking about writing a list of 25 things they accomplished during the year, and I thought that was such a rad and positive idea, so I put together my own list. 

One year on, I still think it's a rad and positive idea and so I've made my list again. And since I have this blog now, I thought, why not share it? 

Here are my 25 accomplishments of 2014: 

1. I finished college with good A-Level results.
2. I got into bath spa university - somewhere I've been dreaming of going to for years now. 
3. Living by myself at uni. 
4. I finally visited Australia! (Bucket list stuff that is!) 
5. I read 50 books. 
6. I reached 160 subscribers. 
7. Met Jack and Dean. 
8. Met Bertie Gilbert. 
9. Met Ben Cook. 
10. I met Noel Fielding... Who I may or may not have a huge fangirl style crush on and have had for about 8 years now...
11. I made new friends, both in real life and through the Internet. 
12. I completed my first term at uni! 
13. I held a wild rosella whilst on the Great Ocean Road.
14. I fed a kangaroo and also held hands with him. We're best friends forever now. 
15. I held a starfish. 
16. I stroked a koala. 
17. The million hour long flight to and from Australia. 
18. Changing a lot of my beauty products to cruelty free ones.
19. I gained a tiny bit more confidence. 
20. I got good eyebrows! 
21. I kept up with a good skin care regime. 
22. Growing Riccardo, my beautiful avocado tree, from an avocado pit.
23. Wrote over 100 pages of my novel, Curious Winds.
24. Expanded my cacti collection.
25. Handed in my uni work on time. 

Some of these things are a big deal and some of them are just small things that probably only I would be proud of. 

I encourage you to make a list of your own! It's such a nice way to look back on your year and think about the good stuff that happened to you. 

I wish you all a fantastic 2015. And hopefully I'll be blogging more this year, after all it is one of my New Years resolutions!
