Goals

I started this writing as a kind of New Year's resolution/goal list; but I'm able to start working towards them now (or at least lay the foundations), so why wait?

This has been one of my best years so far, not gonna lie. I've made some amazing friends and had unbelievable amounts of fun and craziness with them.

There are so many things that I want to achieve in the coming months and years and I've made a list of some of them. I may think of more or revise them slightly, but I think this is a pretty good starting point.
