Present continuous

Hello! It's me. Today we are talking New Year's resolutions

Every year the story goes something like that. After Christmas I get kind of depressed. We

Gerund

start prepping for Christmas already in November. Some even in October, not me though.

we make all this decorations put up Christmas trees , buy presents a lot of work goes into this

We're so excited and we have all these high hopes! Then Christmas comes and

what happens? We open presents! And then? We're happy! Until you realize it's over,

two – three months went into this and it's gone. Bye! You have to wait an entire year

What's wrong mon cheri? It's everything, my life's a mess, Christmas

is over, school starts soon and I hate it, I have no friends, no boyfriend. I'm so sad.

Oh sweetheart, look, it's a New Year tomorrow, make some goals for yourself – It's a perfect

time for change. Start working out, get a boyfriend, study, eat healthy. Make this a

perfect year! And so we step in the New Year with sparkles in our eyes and full of high hopes

Oh my god!! im so excited, ten seconds until my new life woohoo 3, 2, 1 WOOHOO!! New Year! Yay!

But what really happens after New Year?! Here are my typical New Year's resolutions and

Waking up early. If I wake up early I can do so many things before the day even starts.

I can be much more productive. I will start my days all happy and positive. Day one.

But do you know why is it so difficult to wake up early? Why? Because I always go to

bed too late! This is how my energy level looks during the day.

Eating Healthy. In the new year no more junk food. I am gonna

treat my body well! I'm only going to eat healthy, nutritious food. Vitamins, fiber,

Saving money. Life isn't easy these days. Really? My grandma says the opposite.

Don't listen to her. Every two months there are new smart phones,

tablets, things you absolutely need to have, places you totally need to visit. But you are broke

So what do you do? You ask mom! Forget that! She's going to say. Oh darling

you don't need these things, when I was your age..Told you - just don't bother.

So what you do? You save money. It starts promising.

And your savings are gone. But the worst is that you still say I got absolutely nothing

Working out. Especially if you visit your mom or your grandma

you put up a few kilos over the holidays.

Oh! Sweetie you're so skinny, luckily I made you an apple pie. No thanks, I ate before

I came here, maybe later. But it's your favorite, just a tiny little piece. Ok, really tiny,

I am trying to eat healthy. Here you go sweety. AAAAA! It really doesn't really matter how

much you weigh. But toned bodies are in. Boys, girls – we

all gotta have muscles. HAH! Everyone around us is working out so it's time to join the crowd

Right, time to do the workout. Siri, what's the temperature outside?

Brrr, it's one degree Celsius outside. Brrr, that's way too cold to go out.

Studing. You're always studying like crazy one day

before the exam. No sleeping, no eating, just studying to death

and you say to yourself. Next year I am going to study regularly from the beginning of the school

year. Haha who are you kidding? Nobody! This is gonna be me! Who are you kidding? Nobody!

This is gonna be me! Monday! Interesting. Tuesday! I love this

sound. Wednesday! Thursday! Friday! Saturday! Sunday!

looks something like this. Monday! Tuesday! Wednesday! Thursday! Friday!

Improving style. I love comfy outfits. But comfy clothes are

not always the most chic and fierce. We see tall these amazing outfits on instagram

and blogs where girls seem to live that glam Hollywood life.

So every year I say. No more flanels, no more hoodies. You are not a ten girl. Dress like

Being more organized When my room is a mess I feel like my life

is a mess too. So I like to tidy and clean my room once a week – every Saturday. You

go girl, good job. But I don't know why out of the seven days in a week my room is tidy

only that one day – on Saturday. So I always say to myself, this year I'll

keep my room clean every day. The first Saturday morning in the year I start

cleaning my room and I think: from now on I will make my bed every day, no piles of

clothes on the floor, when I stop using something, I will put it right back on it's place. A

few hours later. Ahh I love my clean room. Hi! Cinema tonight? Ok, pick me up in 15 minutes.

Forget ex and move on I am in a happy relationship, but I guess

we've all been there at some point. You have a crush but he's acting like a real

fool and you don't know where you stand. Are we together? No? Yes? Who is she then?

Ah forget it.. So on the New Year's eve you decide that's it! I'm done! I'm gonna do what

I mean what was I thinking. A few minutes

after midnight. OMG he loves me! And there was a kiss! Oh no I'm so sorry.
