What I achieved in 2014!

Hello! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas!

Apologies for neglecting my blog, but December has been absolutely hectic and I've had zero time or motivation to write. I've also just noticed that I'm only a few pageviews away from 3000!! THANK YOU!

Anyway, with 2015 being SO close and lots of you sharing your New Year's resolutions, I thought I would finally take some time out to write a quick little post...

Now, I'm not one for actually making New Year resolutions, I don't particularly like the idea of identifying any flaws in life and aiming to change them, (not that there's anything wrong with making resolutions!), so instead I thought I'd twist it up and share achievements this year...

For the first time ever, I've actually made myself proud with what I've done:

- I passed my first year of University with a First (might not seem a big deal to some, but for me, this was big)

- I STARTED THIS BLOG! It was something that I started at the spur of the moment and I never thought it would do so well and receive such an amazing response. It also lead to me discovering such an amazing online community... YOU GUYS ARE FAB!

-In the same month that I started blogging, I also started volunteering for the British Red Cross at a local charity shop. I originally did it to gain some experience and to keep me busy over the summer. I planned to stop in September, but I've carried on as I love it so much and couldn't ask for a better group of people to volunteer with. I've even managed the shop too, which was nerve racking as it involved a lot of responsibility, but I coped with no problems, which brought a massive sense of achievement!

- I'm a lot happier in myself than I was last year. My confidence has soared on so many different levels.

I could go on more, but these 4 things were the major ones that I really wanted to share.

My only goal in life is to be happy (cheesy, but true) and at the moment I am, so my only 'goal' is to maintain this :)

So, what have you lovely lot achieved this year?

All the best for 2015 and if you have made any New Year's resolutions, good luck! :)
