Summer Projects

Yesterday I officially graduated high school. My original plan for summer was to finish up a large portion of cosmetology school before switching to part-time while I attended a regular college. Apparently doing that isn't allowed, unless I pay for cosmetology all on my own. Unfortunately I don't have $8,000 available, so my summer's been completely freed up. It's the perfect time to tackle some projects, since my original plan for being productive was smashed. By dreamsmashers. Why can't you let me be an overachiever, financial aid?

Project #1: Physical Fitness
I've struggled for years to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but nothing has ever stuck with me. So, this summer I'm going to take up doing three 30 day challenges every month (even though not each month is 30 days shh). I'll do one for arms, legs, and core. I'll also being walking about two miles each day and cutting out all junk food beginning June 1st and severely cutting down on how much meat and milk I take in. I'm not going vegan or vegetarian, just trying to maintain a healthier diet.
Goals: Lose 20 pounds, be able to jog two miles, and successfully maintain new diet.

Project #2: Cleaning Out My Room
I'll be moving out of the house and into a little college dorm room. Some furniture is provided so the big thing is getting rid of the furniture that's unnecessary. The next big thing is de-cluttering my life. And selling off most of my clutter to fund the next few projects. So I'll be listing tons of items on various resell platforms and hopefully getting it all shipped out before I move out.
Goals: Have all unnecessary furniture out by June 30th, have all unnecessary clothes and knickknacks out by July 31st.

Project #3: DIY
I have tons of DIY projects that I've never gotten around to. I have supplies that needs to be used up and several of the projects will supplement my summer wardrobe. I have a list of projects in my head that I need to put on paper and perhaps list here too.
Goals: Complete at least 3 projects a week

Project #4: Cosplay
This goes with the DIY projects really, but I feel like I should separate them. I have three, easy, summer-friendly cosplays planned that I could probably get done easily along with the DIY projects. I've wanted to cosplay for years and have finally almost finished my first one- I don't want to stop there.
Goals: Complete three cosplays before the end of summer.

Project #5: Collections
Part of cleaning out my stuff equals replacing it with new stuff. My wardrobe is really meh, due to me floundering between different styles throughout high school (and never quite understanding that liking parts of another style doesn't mean you have to leave the goth scene to adopt them). DIY and the selling off of old clothes will help implement this newer wardrobe and I hope to up my makeup collection-- now that I've discovered there's much more to makeup than eyeshadow and Wal-Mart brands.
Goals: Have actual outfits not bits and pieces that don't work together

Project #6: Creative Pursuits
In mid-high school I pretty much stopped drawing once I realized I couldn't really make a career out of it. Now my skills have completely gone down the drain. I not only want to gain back my drawing skills, but improve them while exploring other mediums as well. I also want to start putting more content on my Youtube channel and on this blog.
Goals: Post on Youtube/blog once a week, complete at least one drawing per week.

That's the main bit I'll be working on. Other goals include finally getting my driving permit, visiting friends and relatives, and bring myself to a more positive mental state.
