Goodbye 2018 | Hello 2019

January 1, 2019

Happy New Year! I hope you had a fun night last night whatever it is you did. I went out to a bar then to a club with a few friends which were really fun and I had a great night. However, getting home was a little more challenging as all of the roads were closed off and the tubes were closed due to overcrowding. In the end, it took me two hours to get home when it would normally only take me half an hour.

2018 was a bit of a mixed year but mostly good as I achieved so much now that I really look back on it. I didn’t have as much time to blog or make videos but I did try my hardest and now I know that in 2019 I really want to dedicate more time to both of them.

Goodbye 2017 Hello 2018

Goodbye 2016 Hello 2017

Goodbye 2015 Hello 2016

Goodbye 2014 Hello 2015

Just a few things from last year:
– I graduated with an A* in my Digital Marketing Apprenticeship
– I travelled to Hong Kong to see one of my best friends alone
– I started a new job that I love
– I made many amazing new friends

2018 Blog/YouTube Goals Review:

– Reach 170,000 views on my blog (Only 24,892 views to go)– Get 90,000 views & 3,000 subscribers on my channel (I reached 101,635 views and 2,271 subscribers)– Upload 3 times a week on my blog (I’ve tried hard but I have failed once or twice on this one)

– Reach 5,000 followers on my Instagram (I currently have 5,150 followers on Instagram)– Upload at least once a week on my channel (Again like the blog posts I tried to do this one but I failed as well at this)– Attend 2 PR events (I got to attend one event in December which was a lot of fun as it was Christmas related!)– Film a collab with someone in person (It didn’t happen but maybe in 2019)– Meet up with 5 people from the blogging world (I think I can call this one successful)

2018 Personal Goals Review:

– Have at least £1,000 in my savings account by the end of 2018 (I actually do have this much in my savings account!) – Visit Edinburgh and Hong Kong (I have visited Hong Kong but not Edinburgh)– Go on a road trip to Brighton in the Summer (I did go to Brighton a few times for work but I never drove down)– See more friends who don’t live in London (I tried but I didn’t succeed as I started a new job and then got really busy)– Give something back (I tried to do this all the time as I think it’s a good thing to live by)– Do something different with my hair (Nope not achieved this)– Cook more (I think I cooked about 2-3 times a week which was great)– Dance more even if it is at home alone…(Yep I definitely did this and it was a lot of fun)
