1. Obtain the body I desire. Exercise and change the eating habits. - I've decided to try to transition to vegetarian, which I'm doing surprisingly well at. I'm too busy to find time for the exercise currently though.
 
2. Develop my artistic talents. This means creative writing, sketching and calligraphy practice. I may decide to actually try to learn the guitar this year. Prepare for NaNoWriMo accordingly and actually write more than 400 words on it this time. - I practice my calligraphy whenever I can, so the calendar I use to keep track of things is written in calligraphy-like writing. I haven't really had the time to write or sketch.

3. Keep working on the anxiety depression. Last year I made quite a bit of progress in this. I need to keep going. - I'm not liking my new therapist too terribly much, so I may have to look into getting a new one. I'm getting better with my social anxiety via a dnd group and a very awesome professor.

4. Work on learning coding. My dad was self-taught and I can be too. Acquire books to learn it. - Haven't really had the time to do this... Will probably be a summer thing.

5. Get the GPA up ASAP. That means getting my backside moving immediately. The semester just started. Now is the perfect time. - I'm pretty behind on my readings. I've been worse off before, but still...

6. Write in my journal every night. Seriously. this shouldn't be this hard. It will help with 2 and 3. - I keep forgetting about this!

7. Read at least 25 books this year. - I'm in the process of reading two or three books I like. I feel this goal is reachable.

8. Prepare myself for law school and my future career. Seriously! I'm a Junior! I need to do this. - I spoke to my professor about joining the mock trial team and another pre-law focused group and I've just sent an email to the president of said club expressing interest in joining.

9. Broaden the social life even more. - They only real breakthrough I've made in this is the ability to talk to one of my professors. He's a very understanding guy and was very enthusiastic when I expressed interest in wanting to join the pre-law organization.

10. Practice my religion and be more open about my beliefs. - I'm struggling with the thought of telling my friends and family. Some of them may not like my choice of religion and I don't know if telling them is worth the trouble it may cause.

11. Manage my finances. - Finances are being managed the same way they've always been. Not at all.

12: Get organized. - Desk area is organized, which is where I'll be doing most of my work. It's something, I suppose.

My own personal key:
Not started
Done
Made decent progress
Not much progress
Absolutely terrible progress
Complete mess.

1. Anxiety depression. Get it under control. - I made pretty damn good progress in dealing with my mental issues, especially considering the hell my ex best friend put me through a few months ago. I finally found a medication that helps quite a bit, which helps a lot. I plan to progress further in this in 2016.
2. Be more social. Talk to people. Gain people skills necessary for my future career. - I managed to secure a position as secretary of a club and I'm developing some friendships with members of said club. I'm in a dnd group that's pretty awesome and I have a lot of fun with them.
3. Develop a healthier lifestyle. Exercise and eat healthier. - I've gained quite a bit of weight over the past year. I need to focus more on this in 2016.
4. Organize my life. Clean house and start getting my act together. - I haven't put any time into this at all.
5. 52 book challenge. Do it. - I didn't get anywhere near 52, but I think I made it to about 20, which is about 20 more than I read last year. I'm very satisfied with my progress here.
6. Take up the hobbies once more. Writing, calligraphy and maybe drawing. Try to develop skills in music.  - I haven't really had the time or desire to write. I have dabbled a bit in drawing. I haven't had the time to do much with music. 
7. Start paving the way for my future career. Get the GPA up where it should be. Tour the law school I want to attend. Save up money and apply for scholarships. Start putting some hours in clubs and volunteer work to build a good resume. Make myself stand out more to my professors so that I’ll have options if I need references. - My GPA isn't that great. I haven't been able to set up a tour for the law school. I will, however, be joining a club specifically for pre-law students, so that would be pretty nice. I'm going to work on my friendship with my professors, since most of those I have this semester know me from previous classes.
8. Become more informed on what’s going on in the world today. - What year is it again?
9. Practice my religion and make my claim to belong to it more than just words. - Outwardly, little has changed, but my inner thinking has and that's what really counts, yeah?
10. Care about how I look. Instead of complaining how I don’t like it, change. Wear clothes that flatter me and care about my hair and such. - Haven't really thoght about this at all. I did change how I care for my hair that seemed to help.
11. Write in my journal once a day. Make this as much for my mental health as well as forcing myself to write something every day. - I wrote like... five entries.
12. Yoga and meditation. Increase mindfulness to help with other behemoths and life challenges.- Yeah... no...
13. Watch my finances. Start keeping check on my account balance and spending my money wisely. - I sort of have to watch my finances. I don't make that much...
14. That thing. Stop it. You know what it is. - Thing effectively stopped. Congrats, me.
