Tonight, during movie night at my house, my mind began to do that thing it does at the end of the day. My thoughts circled in my head faster and evermore erratically like a sandstorm of ideas ready envelope my whole brain in its fury. I thought about many things, some of which I've pored over before. But when the dust settled and the sun peeked through, it became clear to me that I need a change.

I have become the victim of my own complacency and my true personality is screaming for attention. With that said, I have decided to make a list of 10 promise I would like to keep to myself and others beginning today. These promises are drawn from different aspects of my life and are in no particular order. Here goes...

1. Find a job. Being at home all day after school is SO effing boring! 
2. Volunteer at the library. I love libraries and I know that they are facing budget cuts. I would like to do my part to help them by donating a few weekends to reading to kids or seniors.
3. Call my sister. My little sister is such an intelligent young lady. I would love to talk to her about her experiences and how she's doing in school.
4. Organize my closet. My closet is bigger than many NYCers' kitchens! It always takes me forever to find anything in there. >_<
5. Exercise. I'd love to tone up a little around my midsection. Nothing drastic. Maybe some running?
6. Learn a new language. I'm thinking Arabic. Yalla!
7. Be nice to people. I can be the biggest bitch sometimes. Life is too short to be such a meanie.
8. Take a trip. Martha's Vineyard, anyone?
9. Reconnecting with old friends. We always say how much we miss each other. I think it's time for a reunion!
10. Drink more wine! Good for you and it gets you drunk? Where do I sign up?

Okay, those are my promises. Try doing the same for you! Good luck!

It's funny how the last person you would expect to change your life is the first one to do it.
