As we enter into 2019 I have been seeing plenty of the typical \u2018New year, new me\u2019 statuses and 5 minute long Instagram stories showing the highlights of my friends\u2019 year and it got me thinking\u2026 What have I learnt from 2018? So here is a list of my new year resolutions.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Exercise more<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That gym membership is eating into my bank balance and only going when I don\u2019t have any deadlines isn\u2019t good enough. Living in Bournemouth means I have no excuse as the beach is the perfect place to go for a bike ride or jog.<\/p>\n\"Running<\/a>\n

    Join a new sports society<\/p>\n

    Wednesdays are typically sports days at BU, and at the start of second year I picked up an extra qualification in Marketing which unfortunately meant I couldn\u2019t get involved as much as I wanted to. This was particularly disappointing to me as I joined Sailing society in first year which was so much fun and I haven\u2019t been able to be as involved recently.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

      \n
    1. Eat healthier<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      My high level of pasta intake might be affordable, but it isn\u2019t healthy. I want to investigate new ways of cooking healthy and affordable food. I think I will start by taking some advice from Victoria’s blog New Year – How to eat healthy on a budget<\/a><\/p>\n\"Pasta<\/a>\n

        \n
      1. Spend more time with my house mates and friends<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Second year has offered so many new opportunities and challenges which has meant I have sacrificed my social life at times. FOMO isn\u2019t fun, and I want to break up study sessions by seeing friends more. After all, you only get to do uni once!<\/p>\n\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\n

          \n
        1. Improve my public speaking skills<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          This is a crucial part of my degree I want to work on. Having got into the final of \u2018The Pitch\u2019, a national student marketing competition and approaching a time where I will soon be in the work place, I want to become more confident presenting my ideas.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

            \n
          1. Manage my budget<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            There is a running theme which seems to be emerging since I have started uni. As December comes around and the next student loan is a month away, I must become a lot more stringent with my spending. This year I want to monitor my budget, so I don\u2019t end up in this sticky situation again.<\/p>\n\"Make<\/a>\n
