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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
