\"12<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find a new home<\/strong>. A new apartment, a new house, maybe a new city… No one is keeping me here but myself.<\/li>\n
  2. Pay off my credit cards<\/strong>. I just paid off my car, but my credit card debt is seriously cramping my style.<\/li>\n
  3. Find a new job.<\/strong> It’s been over four years since I took this internship as a “stepping stone” towards my dream job. Two promotions and seven interns later, I know I’ve reached my full potential here and exhausted my stay.\n
  4. Learn how to cook<\/strong>. According to Skokie, it looks like I’m getting better at not burning things<\/a>, so I must be halfway there! I’ve pinned a ton of recipes to try here<\/a>.\n
  5. Conquer the elusive French macaron<\/strong>. I’m going to bake a perfect salted caramel macaron<\/a>, and it will be glorious.\n
  6. Try new things<\/strong>. The same old is getting old. I can’t remember the last time I did something for the first time.<\/li>\n
  7. Travel more<\/strong>. Go somewhere I’ve never been before for more than just a weekend.\n
  8. Appreciate what I have<\/strong>. I’ll try not to lose any sleep over the nine couples I know getting married this year. Yes, I said nine.<\/li>\n
  9. Procrastinate less<\/strong>. If being stuck with no gas at Anthony’s during The Great Blackout of 2011<\/a> taught me anything, it’s that Anthony uses Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub. And that I shouldn’t wait until my gas light is on for two days before filling up.<\/li>\n
  10. Take better care of myself<\/strong>. Eat better, exercise more, get regular checkups. Losing my aunt to lung cancer last year coupled with my mom’s painful battle with pancreatitis def put my health in perspective.<\/li>\n
  11. Be more organized<\/strong>. My dad once told me that guys like girls who are more organized. I used to think it was just something that he said to get me to take the half empty bottled waters<\/a> out of my car, but now I’m not so sure.<\/li>\n
  12. Go to more music festivals<\/strong>. Outside Lands<\/a> in SF last year was amazeballs. There are so many other festivals… Coachella<\/a> in Indio, Lollapalooza<\/a> in Chicago, Bonnaroo<\/a> in Tennessee, SXSW<\/a> in Austin… Where should I go next? Who’s coming with me? And most importantly, which festivals will Young the Giant be at???<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
