My Top New Year's Resolutions

This year im going to figure out a way to be happy no matter what happens.

Im also going to keep my car and house clean and organized.

How I'm Going to Achieve Them

By getting out of bed when i don't want to. Or when its too hard to get up. Im just going to get up and do what i have to do no matter what.

Then, im going to keep a garbage container in my car so i can just clean up all my stuff and not leave it laying around. In my house i will make sure to clean up my clothes, homework papers, and other stuff by not letting them leave my hands until they have a spot to go to.

Tips and Tricks

  • last year i said i was going to get a good job at the mall, and i did it! i put in an application everywhere and i finally got a call. it pays well for a high school junior, and i can see my friends too.

Thanks for posting, Happy Girl! I like how you thought of two ways to accomplish your goal of tidiness: putting a trash can in your car, and not allowing yourself to set something down until it has a place. Good idea!
