2019 in Review/Goals for 2020

I've been away from blogging for quite some time, but I think its time I try it again. For my reentry into blogger here are some of my highlights of 2019:

Books: I managed to read 53 books with a goal of 60. The top three books I read were The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon, Girl Logic by Iliza Shlesinger, and Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren.

Concerts/Music: I didn't go to many concerts this year, but the best by far was Justin Timberlake in Jan. Truth Hurts by Lizzo was a banger, and Bad Guy by Billie Eilish made me turn up the volume.

TV/Movies: I feel like I didn't see all that many movies in 2019, and have a lot of catching up to do. Joker was amazing, intense and made you think. Booksmart was hilarious and well written. TV wise I binged all of Game of Thrones and Schitts Creek, and thoroughly enjoyed Modern Love, Shrill, The Handmaids Tale, This is Us, and Big Mouth.

Trips: I went to Charlotte 2x (St. Patrick's Day and halfway to St. Patrick's Day), Baltimore 2x (Dad's bday and June), Michigan 2x (Houghton Lake in August and Christmas), St. Petersburg FL (beach trip), Nashville, Charleston, and New Orleans.

Relationships: Went on a fair amount of dates, shed some tears,  had some great, but more often than not, mediocre sex, but at the end of it all I'm still single.

Other: The end of 2019 found me with a new job (yay!), new roommate (meh), and Jessi and family moving to New Orleans (mixed feelings here). Overall I'd say it was a good year, looking forward to 2020!


Goals for 2020

  • Read 60 books 
  • Travel somewhere I need a passport
  • Meet someone with whom I can have a healthy, mutual relationship
  • Switch up my living situation, perhaps buy?
  • Write a book
  • See a movie a month
  • More concerts- ideally a festival
