Top Ten Tuesday (158)

is a weekly feature created by The Broke and the Bookish.

This Tuesday's theme is...

One thing that seems to be pretty common with the new year is a list of goals or resolutions: a new year means a fresh start. I'm not usually very good at new year's resolutions; after a few days they fade away and I go back to my usual routine. But I'm turning 23 this year (I'm like the freaking crypt keeper), and I really want to try with these resolutions. I decided to do a mix of bookish and personal resolutions, because I'm doing well on my personal ones so far (well, some of them), and trying to keep up with ten bookish ones may be a little hard. Now, let's make 2016 our bitch, yeah?


What are your resolutions this year?

  1. I love your handwriting! :-) There are some resolutions on your list like original content that I'm aiming to go for as well. I tend to be quite review/meme heavy. Good luck with your goals.

  2. I can't wait to see what graphic design you do!! Very interesting! Also yay for Bookstagram!! I love your account :) I also want to write more... discipline for writing is so hard!! I really give props to all those authors out there who get that shit done!! Someday hopefully I'll get there :)

  4. I think everyone is telling themselves to be picky with requests - 6 years into bloggings and I'm only just starting to do that myself o.o

    Good luck with your resolutions & school! :D

  6. Good luck with all your goals!! Balancing blogging with life/school can be sooo hard. There's just to much to do and so little time. >.<

  9. Good luck with "Be picky with requests"! Is it just me or are books getting better with each year, which is making this resolution harder and harder to do? :)

  10. Great list! It can be super hard finding a balance between school, work, and blogging. I'm hoping to find that balance this year! Good luck!

  11. These are all great goals. It has to be tough to balance school, blogging, and personal reading time. I wish you all the best with finding that perfect balance as well as success with your other goals.

  12. Great list Rachel! I'm totally with you on being pickier, featuring new content, eating right and working out- and somehow balancing it all! I think that's the trickiest part! You've got these girl!

  13. Volunteer at the zoo!! That is so fun! I want to volunteer more, too. I think that's definitely a great idea I'm going to snag from you. Your resolutions are so motivational! Best of luck in 2016!

    I would love to be more active on bookstagram but I look at all those beautiful pictures and just get to scared to post mine, but your pictures are wonderful so you really should post more :)

  16. Aw these are great! I love that you hand wrote your list too, it looks fabulous- and unique :) I have a lot of the same ones as you. Definitely the WIP. Also Bookstagram- I have been such a slacker with it lately. It just takes so much time- which brings in the whole balancing time thing! I wish you the best of luck on all of these, and I hope you have a fabulous 2016!!
