Hi everyone!

Happy New Year 2022! There are quite a few things that I need to highlight about the past year, as well as all my plans for 2022.

Hope you enjoy this post!

Reflection on 2021

"Reflective thinking turns experience into insight"- John C. Maxwell

2021 has been a year full of ups and downs (even outside the whole pandemic situation), and in order to move into 2022, it is a good idea to take a step back to both reflect and plan carefully.

Last year, I remember sitting here and thinking about being quite far behind I was and how much I needed to get done in January.

"It is only the 11th day of the year, but there is a lot happening and a lot that needs to happen!"- My own words last year.

It is a great feeling knowing that this year I have worked much more efficiently and being more organised than ever. This time last year, I had completed 15 posts when now I have published 26 posts! I am very happy that I am not repeating the same mistakes from last year and that I have learnt to work more efficiently.

Since September, I have made many posts exploring the areas of analysis, research and investigation, as well as my own branding ideas and song selection.

I believe I have a clear idea of who my target audience is, and the message I want to convey through my music video, which will be key when it comes to filming and editing it.

Therefore, I am happy that I have gotten all the theory posts done and that I can now apply that theory and further research into building my music video idea!

Plans for 2022

"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail"- Benjamin Franklin

I love this quote and I am inspired by it every day; I consider it to be very true and hence I will take its advice and tell you guys a little bit about this year's plans.

To-Do List :)

(ps: I'm a huge fan of to-do lists, I use them for everything!)

This is everything that I would like to do, I hope I will have time to do so!

Of course, there is one main issue this term...

So, my mock exams are quite dense as I take History and English Literature, both of which are content heavy and need a lot of notes done. However, I am currently studying according to plan and hopefully there will be time for everything.

This is one obstacle that I did not have last year, which meant that I focused on my media coursework a lot throughout January and February, making most of my posts in the second term. This year, I have a good heads-up on my past self but I will need to keep up the work nonetheless!

I have also planned a special surprise post about the meaning behind this project for me, so stay tuned to find out more!
