2016 Recap And Beginning To 2017!

Since as I'm writing this its the 1st of our new year 2017, and as cliché as it is I am going to write about my New Years resolutions and a bit about how my 2016 went. It seems as many are posting on social media that there's been a lot of people who had a rough 2016 but for me it has to be hands down one of the best years of my life.

This year I accomplished so much. I graduated high school, got into college, Finished my first semester of college with some pretty good grades, and managed to have a job with that. I as well this year truly found out what it's like to truly know who I am as a person and to be completely happy with who I am. I went through some rough times don't get me wrong but I've learned to take something good out of everything that happens, even the bad. I've learned what it's like to feel hurt but I've also learned what it's like to come back from that hurt and to become a better person. I've learned to love others no matter how dirty they do you. I've learned in life you just have to take it as it comes and go one day at a time and be grateful to be given another day.

As it is the New Year I have some New Years resolutions. Each year I go into with some but for some reason this year I feel really determined to stick to them. My first New Years resolution is to keep loving myself and take time every so often for just myself to do that. My second resolution is to never stop striving to be a better person, work each day to be better than the person I was yesterday. My third resolution is spread more positivity and love, just share a smile or a simple compliment to someone, something to make someone else's day. And my last resolutions is to just be healthy. Both physically and mentally. Focus and do the things that will better me in the long run for me physically maybe exercising more and mentally maybe meditating each morning. I am very excited to see where 2017 takes me and what I may accomplish and what god has in store for me. Happy New everyone!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
