22. Take Care of My Hair- I’ve been natural since 2009, and that story is quite complicated (My story will be in the next blog coming soon) for years I have been having trouble keeping up with my hair especially my split ends. My thick hair may look appealing and have people feeling “Star struck” but for me, it is a disaster in there! I will keep a promise to myself to start keeping my hair in good shape; even if that means getting another big chop. I’m not afraid of cutting my hair as long as I know it is for the best and my ends will appreciate it! So good bye long hair ... maybe.

      3. Get A J. O. B. - This would be on the top of my list but because I’ve been keeping my health in the back burner I chose this one at number 3. I don’t know how many times my friends, boyfriend and family have told me “Get ready for the Real World” and of course a job is included in this type of world. Money is incredibly important to live, pay all those college loan bills, and traveling.  I’m currently applying for things in my field but we will see what may happen in the upcoming months. My dream job is to be in the media industry either doing video or photography work but in the meantime anything over 11/hr. is good enough to get me by.

       4.   Travel – I didn’t buy these expensive cameras for nothing. Traveling of course is on the list of things for 2017. I want to be able to go to places like California and New Orleans to experience the culture and take pictures of different environments other than my own. New York was a great way to escape the suburbs, enter into the city, and just snap everywhere downtown and in other areas. However, now that I’m living in Houston, things are quite new. There will be plenty of exploring to do in order to see the great parts of this city. (And if any of those that live in the area have any suggestions leave some in the comments because that will be hella helpful!)

      5.     Read More Books- There was a period in my life where I used to read books, and It was relaxing. I think it was around the time when I wasn’t in school and took a 2 years off. I was a big fan of Erick Jerome Dickey books especially and His novels gave me life! Some to be specific were “Milk in My Coffee”, “Friends and Lovers” which was my favorite. I really need to get back in the habit of reading to give my brain a work out. Libraries are the way to go, so I will focus on finding my local library and start book hopping!
