15 Reasons Why 2017 Is Going To Be Great

I don’t know about you, but I’m really excited for 2017. It’s just so weird that we’re so close to 2020… I hate growing up. But here’s why I know 2017 will be bomb:


1. Another year of living means another year to finally get your crap together.

(even though we say we’re going to and we end up failing… THAT’S OKAY!)


2. Another semester to try harder and do your best.

(We can do this.)


3. Another opportunity to spread love to people you know and don’t know.

Giving a smile on the street or around campus is not hard. Love everyone, PLEASE!


4. Another chance to get back into shape

(hello… shout out to the gyms with their specials during the New Year)


5. You are another step closer to graduating.

Hello, I’m talking to you freshman-juniors, and sophomores, everyone forgets about sophomores


6. OR YOU ARE GRADUATING THIS YEAR!

CONGRATS SENIORS!


7. Maybe, in 2017, you and your significant other are going to hit ANOTHER (or first) anniversary!

Look at that, love is in the air people.


8. You might even find love in 2017.

There are things to look forward to, come on now


9. The movies coming out in 2017 are BOMB AF! LIKE, let’s be real here. Incredibles 2!! LET’S GO


10. You get another year to show your family you love them

Because nothing in this world is more important than family


11. You have another year to get more involved at school or in your family or at work

You realize that there is no such thing as “too late” I just simply don’t believe that at all. If you want something, get it. Please.


12. New opportunities to make new friends

Let’s make it a point to stay OPEN MINDED this year. Who knows, maybe you’ll meet your BFF this year.


13. Another year to spend time cherishing and taking care of the friendships you already have

s/o to my friends because idk what life would be like without you all.


14. Another year with coffee

I don’t know what else to say but THANK YOU GOD because this is what gets me through college (am I right?)


15. Another to set goals and obtain them

If you weren’t good with resolutions in the past, make 2017 the year you set PRACTICAL resolutions; one’s that you want to keep and you will enjoy keeping.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
