This year sucked. It truly did but instead of ending the year crying and on my knees praying for a better year, I'm standing here, filled with confidence because I know 2019 is going to be my year.

2018 showed me it truly means to have the rug ripped out from under you and what it means to feel alone and powerless. I shed so many tears this year and I desperately for new beginnings every other second. 2018 definitely tried me but it also gave me a sense of vengeance.

2019 is going to be my bitch.

Crude language aside, I am so serious. I will make this new year the ultimate antithesis to all of the B.S. and downfalls this year has brought me. I will thrive and I will conquer because next year will not be yet another year that I end feeling depressed and sorry for myself. I want to end next year with excitement and anticipation because that's what I deserve.

I won't sit here and make ridiculous resolutions and pacts with friends that this new year is going to be my best yet. I won't sit here making promises. Instead, I'm just going to make it happen. Planning hasn't gotten me anywhere in the past and planning won't bring me anything but wasted paper. I want this new year to be epic and I want it to be filled with triumphs.

We all deserve to have a kickass 2019. Take those written words on paper and make them a reality because I don't know about you, but I am tired of making the same plans every year because every year, I never complete my goals.

I don't know exactly what I am going to do with a new set of months, but I am hell bent on making them the best I have ever lived, and I intend to make every year after even better; setting myself up for utter happiness. I want to start doing and stop saying.

2019 – let's finally do this.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
