new year resolutions and wishes

happy new year to everyone <3
this is just an accountability thread for anyone to comment on and make a promise with yourself to look after yourself and work towards your health and relationships.
some people may have personal goals, you don't have to reveal them, just make sure you atleast try to achieve them.

one of my own goals is to use vlr less in 2025, and only be here during matches. maybe this resonates with some of you, if yes let's try to use vlr less in the upcoming year.

happy new year once again, may the next year of your life be the best one yet and may you achieve everything that you ever wanted. <3

It is utterly depressing that your resolution is using VLR less.

yeah, im kind of a perfectionist so whenever I waste time I feel uncomfortable, but for the last 8 months I've just been ignoring that,
i feel like I should be using every second of my time intentionally so using vlr only during matches is better, since im not doing anything anyway

it's not that i spend loads of time on vlr, i spend like 20 minutes a day but I feel guilty doing that so to not feel guilty i need to use vlr only during matches so it's intended

W, if you haven't found it I just checked for me it's under settings > digital wellbeing and parental controls > app limits > chrome
and then there's a header named sites which shows recommended / recent sites to limit
hope this helps

if you're serious, YO CHILL IT WILL GET BETTER
you can do the things you want, you still have time. let's be the best version of ourselves in 2025 and continue being that for the rest of our lives. in the start, it will be hard. change is hard. but trust me you will not regret it.
do it for yourself.

I got a bunch of textbooks outside of my required coursework that will help me understand my research on a fundamental level. I want to actually read them (not let them sit there) and actually complete my comprehensive exam this semester.

As of now I only have 1 goal for 2025, I don't know if I can complete this, but hey, it's a fun challenge to do so why not!

Learn a new language

if english is your first language, you are probably best of trying to learn spanish if you wanna do it within 1 year (idk if ur fake flagging or not, most jp flags are)

yeah, I am fake flagging (bc I watch VCJ more than my own subregion's challengers scene)

I mean, I have started learning Spanish, but I want to learn a new language, something that I haven't learned before

sounds like maybe you would be interested in japanese. as someone who's trying to learn it myself, i'll say you have to really commit to it. i've been on and off for about 2 years but the only real progress i've made is being able to read katakana. it's a great goal to have tho

#24

I did start learning Japanese just this year too (around May), as of now at least I got a little better at speaking Japanese (?)

idrk if it is better, bc there are no tests to measure ur level of how well u speak Japanese.

I'm already comfortable with Hiragana and Katakana, Kanji is a bit difficult for me right now.

It'd be cool if I could do that but I'm talking about more professional contexts here. My communication skills are severely lacking and unless I improve upon them, they're going to cost me any and all opportunities that come my way, no matter how my actual abilities line up

best beginning would be to try a little small talk / small interactions at smth like the supermarket or a restaurant, cause chances are you'll never see them again so if it goes wrong it don't matter

grind my youtube channel more since i still have the opportunity to do it
had a disappointing 1st semester, hoping to up that especially since im in my junior year

thats basically it, other small goals are the obvious ones like not procrastinating as much (too hard to do unfortunately)

Survive uni
Try working part time
Gym more consistently
Continue to improve on my physical health (the pandemic + exams really took a toll, but I’ve set myself on the right path this year)
Maybe hit immo if I can find the time
Try to actually be the friend who initiates things (I’m a person who doesn’t really speak unless spoken to rn tbh)

All of these are goals, I’d be very happy if I can do just a few of them, all are probably impossible

same, i can't initiate things.
changing this is hard though, it takes a lot to go out of your way and maintain relationships. take the smallest step possible to gain momentum ♥️. im gonna try this too next year.
