New Year Reflections

[Chris]

Are you the person you always wished you'd be?​

New Year is a time where people reevaluate their lives and decide to make a fresh start. Here, at the turn of a decade, it feels even more monumental.

The 2020s are coming. No matter where you are, and who you are, take this as the kick in the backside you need to change your life. There is always something that can be done to improve yourself as a person. If you have been unhappy these past few years then look at your life and ask yourself, "why?" You might not be able to do anything about the bigger picture right now. But know that sometimes all it takes is one small and seemingly insignificant change to be the catalyst to becoming a new and happier you.


Tasks

Omg I'm gonna get started on this soon! I may have to hold off on my Art Shop drawings for a bit (don't worry, I'm still working on them!)

My 5 Goals

1. I want to get out more, as I am currently still slightly agoraphobic. This obviously holds me back from a great many things, so with the help of my lovely wife, I hope to totally overcome this, though I won't ever go to a crowded place. Even before I ever became agoraphobic I couldn't stand crowds.

2. I want to be more tolerant of people. I let people get to me too easily. I tend to take things to heart, and place too much importance on what people think of me online, when it's really the opinion of my real life family and friends that really matter.

3. I want to stop eating so much ice cream. I don't put on weight from it, but I eat way too much. Every male in my family has died from a heart attack (except my brothers, but one has a pacemaker), and I'm not going to go out that way, so enough with the ice cream. Even though I only eat low fat.

4. I want/need a new lounge. The cat has used our expensive sofa as a scratching post since we got it. This time I'm going to cat-proof it. I don't know how yet, but I will do it.

5. I'm longsighted, and have been putting off going to the optometrist because of GOAL one. The agoraphobia. I really need my eyes checked and I know I need glasses, at least to see what I'm typing a little closer up. As of now, I have to hold the phone a good distance in front of me just to see texts or read posts on the forum, as it is blurry if I'm too close, plus I don't own a PC, I'm on a mobile phone, so it's even harder to see. So I am determined to get this problem fixed, once and for all.

[DubiousDelphine]

can i use animal crossing characters as my goal? not specificly for animal crossing but i just like doing that

 

[Corrie]

Ooh my favourite!

1. Eat breakfast every morning. So right now, I legit don't eat anything for breakfast before work until I get there and then a few hours later after starving, I'll eat chocolate or a granola bar, which is basically chocolate. So I'm going to go to bed earlier so I can get up at a good time to eat something actually healthy.

2. Next ties in with the first but it's for my overall energy level. My goal is to go to bed at 10:30 every night. My partner is now living with me and he goes to bed early so that helps get me into bed because I wanna cuddle with him. I'm going to get off my phone and be in bed by 10:30. With my phone, it distracts me.

3. Be more active. My goal is to go for a little walk after work everyday. I go to yoga once a week but it's not enough because my job requires me to sit down at a desk for 8 hours. I need to go for a walk to actually use my legs haha. I'll go after work before dinner.

4. Limit my phone time and tend to my actual hobbies. I waste too much time on my phone mindless browsing, yet I have all these hobbies I actually want to do. Play the video games I have. I have a bunch I have never played, write lots of fanfics, watch shows, get into reading books and read more fanfiction, play piano, bake new recipes are just a few.

5. Be kinder to myself. I'm my biggest bully and I suffer from low self esteem and most likely social anxiety. I hope this year to lower it or even get rid of it entirely. I have a handful of mantras saved that reading them and carrying them around with me should hopefully help keep me in the right mindset!

1. My first goal is to play my French Horn better. I plan on achieving this goal by practicing a lot more than I already do! Right now, sitting in my bedroom, sits my French Horn. I haven't played it since December 15, so I think that I should start.

2. My second goal is to stop eating as much. I am 14 years old and I weigh 170 pounds right now, and I don't like my body. I think if I lost a little fat, I would feel better. I plan on achieving this goal by setting up a calorie chart. I would make it really color-coordinated, so I can see how much calories I have consumed and try to do a few sit-ups to burn some calories off.

3. My third goal is to save up more money for some Switch games, like ACNH and a few others. Right now, I have $104.44. My current goal is to save up $150.00. I am trying my darnedest to make really good grades so my parents will reward me with some money. Right now, I am in 8th grade, and my GPA is a 97. Everybody else is either failing or close to failing 8th grade.

4. My fourth goal is to beat Luigi's Mansion 3. I am trying really hard to beat some levels of the hotel, and right now I just unlocked the 6th floor! I am trying really hard not to give into the temptation of watching a walkthrough, but it is really hard not to!

5. My final and most important goal is to help my dad who is struggling with a complication from a hip revision surgery. He had the surgery back in 2018, and his injury has gotten worse. He falls a lot, because he is also struggling from a condition called "Drop Foot". It is really serious, and I am concerned that he will fall and break his ankle, and they would have to amputate it. I am really distraught, and I don't know what to do anymore, except to help him and my mom!

1. do college. its been going ok so far but i should probably stop skipping classes especially since its gonna be like january soon and thats when i should start revising. i have only properly revised once ever in my life and i only did for an hour. pay attention in class and do HOMEWORK!!! the course im doing really isnt hard and getting the grades i want shouldnt be too hard at all i just need to stay focused
2. get a job after college. idk what. i might go on to another course in college but we’ll c. im able to work at a bar as im turning 18 on the 30th so i mean i could start a job part time. might be too much though since im lazy as **** but i guess it will put me in a better routine and maybe get me more motivated lol
3. move out. i dont care what kinda place i move really, getting a little apartment would be fine. its hard as hell to move here though and usually expensive (especially if u want to get a house) so ive been thinking of moving somewhere different but still staying in england. bristol is a pretty nice place and sometimes i feel like i want to start over
4. go out more. i feel like my life is really boring at times and i get so bored all the time
5. be healthier like eat more and eat more healthier stuff and maybe exercise for once walking doesnt count and MAYBE quit smoking idk if i ever will sometimes i stay up at night thinking of the things im doing to myself and picture my lungs all black and gross but i wake up in the morning not caring at all so i mean dunno

Edit: I'll try to do something that looks semi-decent

I am so sorry in advance if the picture looks ridiculous. I am super-bad at both regular hand-drawing and photoshop the like lucky me. At least I somewhat know how to draw.

My five goals.

1. One of the five main goals I have is to reach 20,000 posts here on TBT before New Horizons is released. I know post count isn’t that important when it comes to the site, but it’s just a site goal I have set for myself. That being said, I have around three months left to do so, so I better hurry!

2. Another goal I have is to graduate university this next year and get a job going, and then eventually my dream career. I have been working towards this for a very long time, and I don’t think I’ll be returning to school for graduate school once I graduate, so I am slowly but surely taking steps to make sure I land a job once I graduate, and then I’m able to start my dream career shortly afterwards.

3. Yet another goal of mine is a forum goal, to save up to 10,000 TBT on this site. That’s a lot easier said than done, but I know if I save for long enough I can do it. I at least want to save up enough, however, to get myself a new dream collectible lineup I like and to pay for services and items in the new Animal Crossing game, Animal Crossing New Horizons. The rest can just continue to be saved for insurance purposes.

4. Second to last is another personal goal, that is, to achieve my black belt in Aikido so that I have a black belt in multiple, different martial art styles. Obtaining this will be a huge achievement for me and will allow me to be confident that I have what it takes to defend myself in any given situation. It will also give me the confidence and positivity I need and perhaps make me start another new martial art style.

5. Lastly, my final goal is to save up enough money to move out onto my own and into an apartment or house. This may take awhile and enough saving to do so, but once I’m able to I know I’ll be all the happier for it. I’m not sure where I would move, but I do know I probably wouldn’t move to another state or country. Who knows, maybe once I’m moved out I’ll get a cat to take care of as well.

My Five Goals for the New Year:
1. Get Enough Exercise - With sedentary hobbies like playing video games and writing, it's easy to not move around enough. I'm going to make sure that I get enough exercise every day.

2. Drink Enough Water - Staying hydrated is very important, but drinking enough water every day can be hard if you get distracted or don't remember to or keep putting it off. So I'm going to make sure I drink enough water every day to stay healthy. And I'll do that by making water readily available, having a cup and a gallon jug of water near my desk. Then I have no excuse not to drink water throughout the day.

3. Catch a Shiny Pok?mon - I got Pok?mon Shield this year, and I really like it. I haven't done any serious shiny hunting since Gen 6, so I'd like to get back into it. Getting everything to facilitate shiny hunting is a bit time consuming. Completing the Pok?dex helps a lot, and that's no small feat in itself. But I enjoy shiny hunting, and I'd like to get back into it in the upcoming year.

4. Buy New Clothes - I hate clothes shopping. Hate it. But the clothes I have are wearing out, so I'm going to bite the bullet and buy some new clothes to replace the ones I've been wearing for so long. Probably just more of the same thing, but even so, that will take a lot of emotional effort on my part.

5. Keep Writing - I'm a writer. I love writing. And I want to keep writing for the rest of my life, so I resolve to keep writing in the upcoming year as well. This is the goal that I chose to draw a picture of. I purposely didn't color in the stuff taking place in the real world, because it's so much less colorful in comparison to my imagination.

 

[Zura]

1. To be a better person: I?ve said this in another thread and I still stand by it. I always seem to forget that I am not the only person that exists. There?s a whole world out there with people struggling and all I seem to care about is myself. Friends, family acquaintances, etc. I can no longer just ignore the pain and suffering of others while I go on living fine. What?s the point of having each other if I?m the only person allowed to be happy? I will try my hardest to be that light in other people?s rather dark lives.
   
2. Practice art: I?ve been doing this for a good while now and I don?t have any plans on stopping any time soon. Several people have encouraged me to pursue art to see what I can accomplish. I?m still struggling to be happy with what I make and being more confident in my skills. I will not only practice more in these coming years but I will also try to grow to be more appreciative of myself.
   
3. Obtain lots of knowledge: This one is a no brainer (see what I did there?...) Anyways, yes, I want to keep on learning as much a possible. Whether it be as complicated as the concept of time or just how to make a good bowl of ramen. A healthy mind is an active mind and that?s exactly what I want.
   
4. Take up singing: I love music but I?ve never actually gotten into actual preforming. Since I was younger, the thought of being a drummer was a dream that I?d hope to achieve one day. Sadly, I still haven?t even started on that goal and I don?t think it?s going anywhere soon. However, recently people have pointed out that I might be able to become I good singer and I have been looking into it ever since. I know it sounds silly but I think it?s pretty cool Maybe someday I?ll get myself some lessons here and there and see where things go.
   
5. Expand TADA: TADA is possible the best thing for me in this decade. Finding/building a place for myself and others to belong to has been so heartwarming. Growing up, I lived in a community that shunned the idea of watching anime and I?ve always felt wrong about being an anime watcher. It was always sad that I?d watch something and I felt like I had nobody to talk with about it. This is the problem I wanted to eliminate with TADA. I didn?t want people to feel that way about anime and have a place that they feel like they can discuss and appreciate it together. One of the best things about TADA is that not only we a community but we?re also like a family to each other. That?s the message I hope to keep and expand in the future years. I don?t ever want to forget the message that TADA teaches which is the goal of finding a place to belong.

Spoiler: I couldnt think of what to make

my five goals for 2020

1. engage in my education, and strive to do my best in it - 2020 is going to be the biggest year of my life in education, as i will be taking my a-level exams and starting university. i've fortunately received an offer to my dream uni, so in 2020 i want to work effectively to achieve the best grades i can and truly enjoy learning with the people around me. specific goals i've set are to start revising in january, and i'm looking forward to visiting my dream uni on a post-offer day with a classmate who has an offer for the same course. i aspire to finish sixth form top of my class!

2. continue to invest and believe in my self-worth - i think i'm pretty good at being confident in my identity and who i am, and in 2020 i want to be my best self by continuing to have faith in myself. starting my first job in november has helped me realise that i am practical and capable and have skills to offer others, and i want to keep making fashion and makeup choices that make me feel comfortable and are also bold or unique. taking better care of myself through hydration and sleeping better is also important.

3. talk to others more - while i don't want to force myself to become a social butterfly when i know i enjoy and feel comfortable with a small circle of friends, i want to make more of an effort to talk to and make friends with colleagues and classmates who i dismiss once i'm out of those social contexts. i've recently become a lot better at it and made new friends, but this is something i definitely want to keep in mind in this half year left of sixth form where i want to make the most of the people around me, and hang out with people more. this will also come in handy for starting uni!

4. be more aware of my health - in 2020, i want to exercise more. i often walk to and from school, but i don't do any real, demanding exercise. even stretching would benefit me as i'm on my feet a lot at work and notice my back hurting, but it wouldn't hurt to try a gym membership since the gym is so close by! 2019 was a massive stinker for mental health. things are so much better now, but i need to be more conscious of my anxiety in a healthy way, rather than just refusing help and toughing it out.

5. make the most of family - i had a tough time in family this year, with my dad leaving in october. fortunately, things are better as my parents got back together. i'm able to communicate with my dad as normal, but my perception of him isn't the same. in 2020, i hope i can forgive him more truly. i'm grateful for how much closer it brought my mum and i, which i didn't think was possible, and i know i can rely on her in 2020 as i always have been able to.

1. Work on my physical health! I'd like to exercise regularly and stretch every day. Ever since I was young, I've loved cooking, but I've lost my passion for it. I want to find it again and establish healthier eating habits (cleaner food! breakfast! not relying on quick unhealthy meals! meal prep)!

2. Keep journaling! I have been pretty consistent with writing at least a few sentences every day for the past three years and I really want to continue with that because I love looking back at myself over the years and how I've grown. I've been getting busier and busier lately, so a goal going forward is to make sure that I'm setting that time aside for myself to recap my day and how I've been feeling.

3. Save more money. I'm going to keep track of my spending habits and budget in a notebook! I'll do my best to only buy necessities while saving a bit for frivolous/fun purchases (like New Horizons, maybe)!

4. I want to continue putting myself outside of my comfort zone. I have always been a little shy, but I am working on being confident enough to actively take opportunities when they arise. University office hours have always made me incredibly nervous, but I am going to go to them when I need help. I am also going to continue auditioning for shows - I am leading two right now - while still being conscious of my time, my academic workload, and how much I can take on at once.

5. I keep telling myself that I'm going to create something - write a book, an album, a musical, a collection of personal essays, whatever. This is finally the year I start actively trying! I'll do this by setting a few days aside every month to decompress, sit down, and pull things out of my mind. I am not going to have a plan going in, I am just going to type and see what comes out.

 

[cornimer]

1. My #1 goal is to make more friends irl! Ever since graduating high school I have been really lonely because my best friend left for a university five hours away and I haven?t made any friends at my uni. The main reason (probably) why I don?t have friends is that I am too shy to initiate conversations with people and I struggle with finding things to talk about. I am also not confident enough to insert myself into existing friend circles. So, I plan to accomplish this goal by continuing to attend therapy for my social anxiety and working on a plan with my therapist to gradually get more confident and better at interacting with people.

2. My second goal is to get a new hobby! I honestly don?t do anything other than work and TBT which is pretty sad. When people ask me what I do for fun I have nothing to tell them. It?s hard because there aren?t a whole lot of activities I enjoy (that I know of at least), so my plan to accomplish this goal is to join some community groups/classes once I finish university to try to find something I like.

3. My third goal is to eat healthier! I don?t have the worst diet ever, but I do eat a lot of chocolate and sugary drinks which cause me to break out a lot. I haven?t had a clear face in years. I am going to accomplish this goal by simply trying to have better self control and not making second coffee runs (my first coffee of the day is always black but when I make a second run that?s when I usually go for the sugary stuff )

4. My fourth goal is to exercise! I literally never exercise ever and I know if I continue like that I?ll probably have a lot of health problems when I?m older. To accomplish this goal I plan to use the treadmill and do weights every day when I don?t have school (which means I won?t be exercising much for the next four months, but once I finish school in April I hope to establish a regular routine!)

5. My final goal is to stop letting my anxiety interfere with my job. I always put off tasks like phoning people and responding to certain emails because they make me panic, but I don?t want to let this hold me back from being the best employee I can be anymore! I plan to accomplish this goal by giving myself strict deadlines (eg: open and respond to this email by 3:00 pm today) because the longer I put off these tasks the more anxious they make me!

Here's a drawing of me struggling to lift a weight as per goal #4 (the thing in the background is the treadmill) ((and yes I really do own a Kracko shirt for those of you who weren't aware))

 

[RoyNumber1]

1. Get healthy. I'm eating too much junk food and fast food. I need to go to the gym and get fit. I also need to sleep more. I haven't went to the hospital in awhile, so I need to put that on my bucket list. It's really hard since there's so many things to do each day. It gets tiring and there's barely enough time.

2. Get into elite smash. I swear, I just can't get into elite smash no matter how much I try. It's something I try so hard to get, but I'm too terrible at smash to get into. I got so close a few times, but my luck runs out right before. I really hope I finally get in next year, but I honestly don't know how I can achieve it if I'm terrible. I guess I have to get good.

3. Go back to college. I plan to save money for college so I can get the supplies I need. Also, I have to study, which is going to be a pain. I kinda want to go back to art class to get better at drawing. I did surprisingly well last time. I also want to get into game design. I always dreamed of making games.

4. Complete Animal Crossing: New Horizons one hundred percent! I plan to complete everything in new Horizons. Catalog. Museum. Badges. Everything. It was something I wasn't able to do with New Leaf, but always something I needed to do. It'll take years, but I'll definitely complete the game this time. Getting the game day one is my best strategy and my only strategy.

5. Get the Weird Doll. Yep, you heard me right. Now here's my bad attempt at recreating the weird doll I would have on my lineup someday.

 

[xSuperMario64x]

Here are my five goals:

1. I need to set more realistic expectations for myself. For many years I've been giving myself so much work that I just can't handle it. Last semester I was enrolled in 9 classes! I've always had super high expectations for myself, and because of that I end up setting goals and getting myself into responsibilities that are unrealistic and end up making me feel worse than I already do. I'm gonna break that habit next year.

2. I'm gonna start saving money. I'm likely going to open up a savings account soon. I want to start saving for when I move out, plus it's just nice to have extra money in case of an emergency.

3. Within the next decade I would like to be able to buy my own house (or at least an apartment). I'm halfway to 21 and I'm getting really tired of living with my dad, so I'm gonna start working on figuring out when and how I'm able to get my own place. I know it'll prob have to be after I graduate in May 2021 but that gives me plenty of time to plan!

4. I need to stop buying things on impulse. It's hard for me to find things I like in stores so when I find it online I get a huge impulse to buy it. But because of that I end up spending limited money on things I don't need. This kinda ties in with me saving money.

5. Go outside more. Once I get my license I plan on spending my Summers going kayaking (I'm gonna start saving money to buy myself a kayak and a roof rack) and hiking more often. I really enjoy doing that kind of stuff. Being with nature always makes me happy, and since I would like to lead a happier life I need to do what it is that makes me happy


Here Is a crude drawing of me being approved for a house loan (based on #3):

 

[Corndoggy]

1. I would like to start eating a bit healthier and to cut out all of the soft drink and sugar that I consume. I?ve had to have 6 fillings this year due to it and I would love to stop appearing at the dentist so much. It?s come to the point that I?m a bit of a regular there. I?m also hoping that by eating healthier I will have more energy to do things and will stop being so tired all the time. I plan on achieving this by creating weekly menus and trying new healthy recipes.
2. Books. I used to be an avid reader but this year I have barley picked up a book so I would love to get back into reading and read a lot more. I plan to pick up a book at least once a fortnight to read and hopefully over time once a week.
3. Next year I would love to take up some kind of physical activity and get into shape. I?m thinking something along the lines of stair climbing or some kind of sport such as ice skating or volleyball. My friend does ice skating so I will join her and hopefully get into a routine of going every few weeks.
4. I want to create a proper study routine next year for uni, as I actually got really good grades last semester form following my boyfriend?s plan, so I?m hoping if I have a plan of my own that I will keep up the good grades and make my parents proud. I?m planning to buy a proper schedule to put up on the wall (one of the blank ones) that I can fill out with what needs to be done when.
5. Spend more time with my family. I?ve noticed a lot this year that I spent a lot of time with my boyfriend and friends to the point I?ve neglected to spend time with my dad even though I live with him. Next year I pan to set time aside to spend with him and cook him meals and maybe even treat him to a night of Chinese take away. I also plan to give my cat more pats and attention.


(sorry if the drawing is bad, im not very artistic but i had fun doing it and put a lot of effort in and thats all that matters to me )

Future 5 Goals I Want To Achieve

1. I want to complete an animatic of mine. There is an animatic that I'm working on, and it's for the song 'Into The Unknown' from Frozen 2. I may not like the movie, but I really love this song along with 'Show Yourself'. I want to try to finish it so there's something I can feel proud of. Also, I want to experiment with animation and stuff, so this is a perfect chance- haha.

2. I want to write a song. I really like writing songs and trying out new rhythms. I'm only an amateur and I barely know much, but I love trying out just whatever, even if it's bad lol. I want to finish writing a song, even if it ain't that great.

3. I want to learn how to code many things. I know nothing about coding, but I really want to learn it. It's a personal goal of mine to learn how to code because of my brother, who is brilliant at coding. I look up to my brother a lot. He's a great man and he knows what he is doing. He's working on a game of his right now, and I already love it. There's so much that goes into coding and I want to learn it, because it looks so fascinating and I want to be able to code games myself.

4. Try out and learn about photography. Photography may seem simple at first, but if you think about it, it's actually pretty complicated (at least for me). You have to get the right angle, the right lighting, and you have to have an artistic eye. You have to know what you're taking a picture of and what emotion you get from the picture. There's a lot that goes into photography and it's so fascinating. I would love to learn all about it.

5. Learn more about animation. I absolutely love animation and what goes into it. It's related to my first goal (finish an animatic). I love being able to create motion frame by frame and how I'm able to create a moving object with just my hand. Animation can tell a story, and I absolutely love stories and writing them. Sometimes there are stories that are difficult for me to tell through words, but animation is able to do that job so well. They tell stories through moving pictures. I'm going to stop myself here before I go on and ramble about how fascinating and amazing animation is, lol.


This was supposed to be a gif but it's not going through... oh well, this image will suffice. It's two frames, no big deal.
This is the image for GOAL 2. I want to write a song so I'd figure I'll just draw this

 

[Seroja]

this good cos 2020 is the start of my life in the 30s

Spoiler: goals

1. family: be mindful of my parents' feeling; be more sensitive and less selfish (read: stop being selfish you fool!). be more loving towards my husband, and more supportive of his dreams. lastly, be a loving, understanding, and observant mother. if she needs attention, give it to her! always be there for her and never take the easy way out by giving her my smartphone ever!

2. career: be more organised. stop procrastinating and tackle my tasks as soon as they were assigned to me. stop snacking at my desk and talk less to my colleagues during work hours lol I sound like the worst employee ever (which isn't wrong). I will be more productive!!!1

3. hobby: draw daily, at least 10 minutes a day. stop comparing myself with others, I am me and they are them. just do my thing and don't be discouraged by my lack of skills. practicing everyday will make me improve so much and I owe that to myself! please just. do. it! oh and also, consume less kpop materials. I wasted so much time just watching kpop vids on youtube when I could be doing something else, like drawing for example.

4. money: firstly, STOP spending money on micro transactions. just stop! I've spent thousands this past 2 years on mts alone, and I need to stop come 2020. save save save! the economy is on the decline, and the currency exchange is very unforgiving so stop spending so much and start saving. if I want to spend on games, I'll just buy actual games and not in-game currencies period. also, don't spend too much on unnecessarily expensive foods.

5. health and lifestyle: I think this has been in my ny resolutions list every single year lol but I will start exercising more. I will be in my 30s which means I need to take my health more seriously. do a 30 minutes exercise at least once a week, every week. play just dance or wtv, as long as I sweat! don't eat more than I need, don't binge on sweet treats. and don't skip or delay meals!! I will get back to my ideal weight and maintain it.
