Resolution #2: Give!
I know it’s over a month after New Year’s, but I swear I didn’t come up with this resolution just now! In fact, I came up with this resolution long before New Year’s even came! I just seem to only write on this blog in spurts.

I know it’s only been three weeks, but I must say, I am exhausted. Between waking up early for class and staying up late doing homework, there’s barely any time to relax or have fun. And now, even having fun comes with a price. After just one night out, I am already so worn out. Guess who’s going to be staying in tonight. Read more…
