First off, quick New Year's resolution tip: Keep your goals specific, and start your sentences with "I will". Instead of saying "I plan on loosing weight," say something like "I will start running five miles a week" or "I will only eat 2,000 calories a day". This helps you by giving you a specific task to focus on, and internalizes the goal as part of your routine instead of being a vague promise of something you want to do eventually. And with that out of the way, here's my highest priority resolution for the next three months: I will create a simple portfolio website to demonstrate that I am capable of using HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, and JavaScript in web design (plus whatever technologies I discover I will need along the way). This website won't be a huge passion project, rather the website will be a demo to show that I understand concepts essential to modern web development (Responsive Design, C.R.U.D, etc...). Since I have historically dived head first into programming projects with little to no planning, I will spend the first two weeks of January planning the site. Since I literally just got prescribed ADHD medication for the first time like 12 hours before writing this, I'll set reminder bot on discord now to remind me in a week and a half to assess the effects of the medication and create a more concrete time investment plan based on what seems reasonable after understanding the drug's effects on my mind, and another reminder in three weeks to assess if that time investment is working.

My year's resolution 1# beat all my games that i own. My year's resolution 2# make more friends in CA.

I did both because I'm extra: My New Year's revolution is to be more active and outspoken. I'm going to try and be more social and less introverted. So, I want to make more friends, hang out more and TRY to be less rude and grumpy. I akso want to work on my anger so I could be more peaceful and not let little things irritate me so much. I guess I want to break my shell and just be more open with other people. I think that it'll match my personality a little more.

Ah, here's my little submission, why not. If I had more free time and some kind of inspiration, it would look much better.

It's hard to believe that this year is already coming to an end. Although, that's what I say every year. And quite the year it has been. I'm not one for resolutions, but I may as well. Before that, I wanted to get into a few little things first. During our Second Anniversary Event, I was regrettably unsuccessful in posting to it. So, I decided that I wanted to write out what I wanted to say in this forum post. When it comes to Canterlot Avenue, the ups and downs fluctuate. Though, I found that what I gained from this place is worth more than anything. I have made so many new friends here, and a lot of them play a very important role in my day-to-day life. I feel very lucky to call them my friends. Truly, I'm not sure where I would be without them now. So, I decided I would contribute a little blurb about a few of them here. Zah, you're a very pleasant person to talk to. Though somehow you carry around an intimidating aura, you've always just been soft. It's slow-going now, but I look forward to getting to know you better as a friend. Seir, you're a really big dork. And it's always nice to be in your presence. You have a certain kindness surrounding you that I haven't found in anyone else. Being around you, it feels like the atmosphere is at peace. You're just a joy. Phoenix, you're such a doofus. But I like you too. Our conversations late at night tend to spiral into very stupid topics, but it's pretty fun. Just keep being you, you're good the way you are. Pinker Wolf Pie, my favorite giggly pink pal. You're one of the sweetest people I know. Don't ever lose your heart and joy. It's splendidly infectious, and everybody knows that. I appreciate you so much. WESLEY! Thank you. You're a very special person in my life, and I wouldn't trade our relationship for anything. You're the reason I found out about this place, as well as the reason I've built these bonds. I know you'd do just about anything for me, and I'll never forget that. So again, thank you so much. Gen ToNiC, you're wonderful, I can't even describe it. Our friendship really did grow extremely fast for the amount of time we spent talking to each other, and it only grows stronger by the day. All of our conversations are interesting and meaningful. I just can't wait to see where we go from here. Lula, wowzers. I'm very excited to see how this relationship develops. We've been friends for a while now, and I'm ready to see where this next step takes us. We got this. I love you guys lots, you've gotten me through a lot. And because of that, my new year's resolution is to do my best to better myself as a person. And with my friends by my side, I know I can. I want to succeed, and I have to.
