- Take up running. Or swimming, or badminton, or something. Some form of exercise that isn’t dancing on the xBox 360 or skipping.
Go through my clothes and throw out anything that doesn’t make me look utterly fabulous.Find a red lipstick that actually suits me.- Find make-up that actually suits me.
Find a wine that I like. Occasionally drink a glass of it.- Buy a lot of beautiful vintage clothes and wear them every day.
- Learn to walk in heels.
Buy a pair of heels that I could wear when there was a moderate amount of walking to be done- Read all of Jane Austen’s books, not just Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.
- Sit down and think about all of my opinions and why I have them.
- Debate a controversial topic with someone without bursting into tears halfway through.
- Learn to control my temper.
- Stop letting my hair get gross and having to hide it with a headband.
- Establish a skin-care routine that isn’t just shoving some stuff on my face in the shower, mainly to use up all of the eleventy-billion products I have bought and neglected.
- Get some kind of bikini line wax. I’ve never done it. I feel I should, just once.
- Get in control of body hair in general, actually. I tend to forget about my legs for months on end until it looks like I’m wearing furry trousers. My eyebrows are utterly ridiculous for two weeks of the month (until a nice lady comes to my house and waxes them for me)
- Get control of my head hair. Get a cut. One that suits me. Decide if I’m going to leave it natural, dye it the red I lust over or do something else entirely. Maintain whatever style I decide upon
- Find a hairdresser who makes my hair looks AMAZING. This, I imagine will help with the previous goal.
- Stop biting my nails. Stop, when I am in control of biting my nails, picking my nail polish off.
- Buy three properly fitting bras, that I change every 6 months.
- Have co-ordinating knickers to said bras. Just, y’know, white knickers for a white bra, black for a black bra. And wear them. Just in case I get hit by a bus.
- Actually sit down in front of my make-up mirror to put make-up on, rather than rushing round like a loony.
- Learn to blow-dry my own fricking hair properly.
- Learn to control my swearing.
Find a way of drying after a shower that doesn’t involve me sitting in towels on the lid of the toilet shivering. I spend an hour drying after a shower, it’s ridiculous.- Remember to change my sheets once a week.
- Go to London, on my own, without having planned every second of my journey the night before, and not get lost.
The Grown-Up List
Although I cope pretty well with any work or University based situation, I am rubbish at doing everyday things. This cannot continue. The Grown-Up List is a list of things I need to do to get my shit together. Things may get added, things may get taken away. Feel free to suggest any.
