January Achievements

As part of starting some New Year’s Resolutions (like everyone does) I wanted to incorporate this within my blog, and what better way than to at the end of each month summarise my positives and achievements as something to look back upon and gage my mind into a more optimistic way of thinking, and January was the perfect month to start this with! I started the month by jetting off to New York with my course mates, a trip I had saved really hard for and wanted to make the most of. I’d previously visited New York twice so on this trip wanted to venture to places I had forgotten about such as Soho, Brooklyn and Chelsea Market. Whilst on the trip I wanted to ignite my love for film photography again, a passion I once was obsessed with but stubbornly refused to let myself enjoy after having the worst summer and not wanting to partake in anything that once gave me creative enjoyment (as dark as that sounds). On this trip I wanted to capture some more natural moments of me and my friends messing around, images I can look back on and remember my feelings in that exact moment. This month I also managed to get placed to work in New York for the summer, something which was a big goal of mine to achieve for this year. Part of this meant venturing to London alone and spending the evening/next day with a complete bunch of strangers. Pushing my boundaries not only meant I got to meet new people but get a place where I wanted to go. To end the month I’ve been on a two week reading break for University which has given me the chance to catch up on some sleep, organise my life and get me reading/watching/listening to topics I might not have previously considered. It’s been a great way to relax and gain useful knowledge. Bring on another hectic month, February.
