First blog, how good. Thought I'd first talk about how I've been and my plans for the future. Christmas was great, I spent the day with family and got very spoiled.
From what I remember I got a toothbrush, a smart lamp, a body pillow and a speaker. My family always runs party games for christmas where we do challenges. We're quite hardcore, we've got a trophy for the reigning champions and a spirit award named after my grandma.
Neww years and the days leading up to new years were also eventful. I had my friend Allan's 20th where we ate out at Sulzip and scootered for two hours from South Bank up to Kangaroo Point. I spent new years at a club with some friends. I enjoy clubbing but usually only in larger groups.
My mentality and resolutions going into 2026 is to become 1% better everyday. I've recently set myself goals related to career progression, physical health and social life.
For my career, I aim to progress from a qa to swe intern. Although I love working at tiny, I accept that there are opportunities out there that'd be more beneficial to my career. This means keeping a keen eye out for internship opportunities elsewhere, and ensuring that my resume and technical skills are improving every day.
In terms of physical health, I aim to put on more weight and build muscle. I'm not a dedicated gymrat by any means but I have been enjoying the gym moreso recently; similar to gaming, it's been a good opportunity for me to switch my brain off for a while.
My friends and family are also in my top priorities for 2026. They've supported me in everything and motivate me to chase personal fulfilment and success - if any of you guys are reading this ily.
To a (hopefully) great year,
Ben
