this is my first time making new year's resolutions. i never make the effort to actually put them into writing to look back on.
1. reach 175 lbs
i'm currently sitting at 150-155lbs. i gained about 30lbs in 2024 so i think that this is pretty possible.
2. solve 200 leetcode problems
this is pretty obvious. the market is tough so i've got to make sure i'm doing as much as i can during my spare time.
3. read 20 books
i actually know a lot of people with a new year's resolution related to reading. i have like 40 unread books in my closet, so it's just a matter of picking them up at this point.
4. get better at cooking
don't have a meal plan anymore, so i gotta get better at cooking or else i'm eating unseasoned chicken for the next few months. i want to be able to cook genuinely good dishes.
5. hit plat in siege
i've done it before and i'll do it again.
6. swear less
nothing to be said here...
7. declutter my room + closet
i've been hoarding a crazy amount of things for years that i wanna get rid of. to be honest, this can probably be done in a day and shouldn't be an entire goal lol.
8. budget better
i want to reach a point where i spend less than $200 a month.
9. land a good summer internship
people close to me know that this is all i ever talk about lol. "good" in my eyes is a company whose name is decently well-known.
10. get my G license
i've been putting this off as well...
11. fix my sleep schedule
i'm aiming for 8.5 hours per night so that i can stop taking afternoon naps.
12. practicing more mindfulness
i think that journaling + meditating will help me manage my stress a lot better.
13. start running
i think i did cardio like 4 times last year and i can tell that i need to do it more because i'm out of breath after walking up one flight of stairs.
that's all for now, but i'll add to this as i see fit
thanks for reading ðŸ«
