Just some ideas & goals :)
For more, check out the Ultimate Fandom Bucket List (part 3 of the Fandom Guide To Life)

•read at least 50 books in the new year
•go to a different library than usual
•try a different book genre
•listen to a different genre of music
•have a specific time to watch TV so you can be more productive
•embrace your fandom-find someone who shares your interests
•expand your book collection aka buy more books
OR even better, find places to get cheap books
OR as mentioned... go to the library more often
•take better care of your books
•introduce your fandom to someone else, you never know, they might enjoy what you enjoy
•give credit for fan art whenever possible
•keep your bookshelf organized
•don't feel bad for not getting a book the moment when it comes out or not reading something when everyone else does
•watch Booktube (Youtubers who make videos about books)
•go to fandom related events, it's a good way to practice being social
•think of your favourite fandom hero whenever you need confidence
•read/watch what you want, maybe take a break from mainstream stuff
•if you have a social media account dedicated to a fandom, put effort into it. If not, maybe create one.
(be fair to your followers if you do not want to run your account anymore, now's just as a good of a time as any to end an account or start fresh)
•try drawing fan art or contribute to the fandom (which can mean making your own playlists, doing art, or appreciating others works)
•be grateful-say thanks to your fandom friends because they understand you, say thanks to the people who buy you books/pay for Netflix, say thanks to your favourite band member. Someday you might be noticed by your idol.
•really think when you're giving fandom recommendations... No matter how much you love something, it's different to others, so also don't be offended when others don't like your recommendations. Stay open minded.
•remember that it's about the love for the fandom- don't get into small arguments about which writer's better or who has it worse or which ship is better. (Come on, we're in a fandom, we're all dealing with the feels and fandom struggles.)

So that's it for now. If you have any suggestions to add to this, let me know. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year! ~M
