I don’t make resolutions. Partially because I know just enough about myself to know that 1. I hate to follow rules and 2. I am a terrible planner. But I have been acting out of character lately (um hello, I just spent a week doing a deep clean of my room because I wanted to. what?!) and have decided that 2014 is the year I need to map things out and stop moping around like a college student on a ramen diet (even though that is what I ate during my past three days of sickness).
Maybe it’s because I have a brand new sparkly planner, or maybe it’s because I have a lot of things that I already have planned for 2014.

If not, I’ll have a really pretty craft with generic words of inspiration on it, so win-win?
