Apparently the world's going to end sometime this year so how useful this thread is is debatable. Either way it won't hurt to have sitting here for future reference.

In no particular order mine are as follows:

- Lose weight/get healthier again.
- Go spend some time in Europe.
- Pay more tax.
- Catch up with friends more often.
- Learn to cook.
- Probably the most difficult one: quit drinking FUIC and energy drinks. (edit: failed this one already, just had a sugar free redbull. I'll make the resolution to stop with the FUICs and drink sugar free versions of any energy drinks only)

What are yours?

Basically just to graduate from my masters this year and return home to Adelaide.

Are you really sure you want to cut out FUIC entirely? I would murder for one right now.

why on earth would you want to pay more tax?

:E

learning to cook is so easy, loads of websites with instructions or videos on how to do pretty much anything. lemme know if you need a test subject to try your creations... ;)

quit drinking energy drinks.

think i may already be on the road to doing this one since i have started drinking short blacks!

the only one that immediatly springs to mind is to learn another language. might have to come back to this thread and see if there is anything else i have in mind...

Kaeser, maybe I should just revise it to "drink less" considering I drank at least 1 FUIC and 1 energy drink per day for way too long.

khem if I'm paying more tax it must mean I am earning more. :E

Are short blacks really that much better?

short black has way less sugar in it, plus no taurine or whatever else they put in the energy drinks. no milk either so its not as bad as fuic.

So what's the point of drinking it again? :E

Also I don't think taurine really has any negative effects anyway... Maybe I'll just drink diet Redbull instead?

Been out of Adelaide since Friday - haven't had any iced coffee or energy drinks. I've had a few cans of coke but I have been introduced to turkish coffee. Maybe I can convert to short blacks/espressos or whatever after all!
