is to drive for an hour a day

i recently got my ls which means

learner's permit and in victoria we need

to

practice for 120 hours in order to get

our pees and so

we can only apply for our peas when

we're 18. i'm hoping i can get my peas

next year two months after my 18th

birthday but that's only if i keep up

my driving for an hour a day also

recently in the mail

my elle's permit id card came in there

it is

my next new year's resolution for 2021

is to try and mostly only go on my phone

with an intention of doing something

such as reaching out to someone or

posting a photo and not just a scroll

on instagram and tick tock while i'm at

it i also want to cut down my screen

time by 20

my daily average is now at around six

hours which is really bad

so cutting that down by at least an hour

and 20 minutes a day

camera rolling quite on set take one

action in 2021 i want to upload at least

twice a week

and also reach my goal of 100 000

subscribers so

if you aren't already subscribed then

make sure to do that down below if you

like this video

and let's get right into the next news

resolution

in 2021 i want to develop my skills in

cinematography and next year i'll be

going to a film and television course in

uni so hopefully

that will help me reach my goal

in 2021 i want to write and produce an

original song

ow continue to use software such as zoom

and google meets to connect with others

around the world

i'm sure most of you have used these

during online school or working from

home

it's something positive that came out of

2020 that we can connect with so many

people around the world

through video call i know things like

skype and facetime were available before

but 2020 just made it more accessible my

next news resolution is to stay fit and

active

and i feel like everyone says this like

every single year

but i want to change it up a little bit

i just want to do

activities that i enjoy so recently i

joined pilates

and it's so fun you wake up in the

morning go to the pilates class

i go with my best friend olivia my next

new year's resolution is to become more

efficient with

content creation for example freeing up

storage before my laptop goes all slow

so i can actually just work faster and

edit faster go on more day trips these

are so fun because you don't have to

go through the hassle of booking a place

and it's just nice to spend a full day

with a few friends go on maybe a hike or

see

some beautiful views one of the

highlights of every day trip is the car

ride

very back you have the music playing you

just have banter

it's great

[Music]

i recently went on two one to mornington

and we went to a strawberry farm

we did a bit of a hike it was really

hike it was just

to get down to the beach um that was

really nice and we had lunch at a

beautiful park

and then the second day trip that i went

on was to great ocean road

this was actually two days ago and we

saw the 12 apostles we went to different

viewpoints

did a bit of a hike through this

beautiful rainforest and we saw a

waterfall

all right go back to playing piano i

used to play piano

in my free time but i've just kind of

like

you know stopped and i really want to

get back into it

because it's really nice to just play

chords and i'm singing

and just like random pieces

i love this one by yes girls

and playing piano honestly like helps me

be in the moment because i'm just

concentrating on the sounds

[Music]

so i really just want to get back into

it

hi i literally bought my camera here to

film this part

and i turned it on and it was like no sd

card

i can't be stopped walking back home the

next new year's resolution

is to live at the moment and not

overthink things my last new year's

resolution is to develop an effective

night routine

mine has recently been so bad i've been

just going on my phone

right before i go to bed i sleep very

late as well

maybe like 1 or 2 a.m every night

usually and i just want to change that i

want my nights to be relaxing so i can

actually get sufficient sleep so i can

be

energized the next day and usually i am

energized but even without sleep but

like

i think every night should be a pamper

night and i have already started this

new year's resolution so get on top of

your goals guys

year's resolutions and then start
