2019 Can Still Be Your Year

Even if you've already had a mental breakdown or two, don't forget to stop and smell the daisies.

2019 Can Still Be Your Year
Maddi Mangum

Okay ladies and gents, I get that we can be a little dramatic and sometimes it's comical… But it's four weeks into 2019, and just because of a breakdown or maybe even two doesn't mean this can't be your year.

There are a lot of hiccups that come and go throughout the year. Hence the saying, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

A lot of the struggles that we face aren't permanent and aren't life-altering. So why act like they are when one thing goes wrong in 2019? I think 2019 is the year we all realize there's something bigger in the works when not everything goes our way.

No year is perfect, and some are gonna be harder than others. But again, that doesn't mean it can't be your year because it got hard.

I can't think of one remarkable person who hasn't faced hardship, and for good reason. A lot of times, what makes people stand out or important is the things they accomplished while at their worst or in difficult times.

People have also altered their lives based on bad situations and made their lives 100 times better, helping both themselves and others in the process. For example, people with illnesses who survive and go on to help others with the same illness.

Regardless of what happens in between 2019 and 2020, DO NOT let the first month depict how the rest of the year will go. Again, I get it. It's funny when we are kinda dramatic, but I also know that smalls hiccups are not going to define your whole year…especially when it's only four weeks into the new year.

There's so much negativity that goes on. So why be a Negative Ned about the little things that definitely aren't going to ruin your year, when you can be realistic and know that your year can still be super bomb? After all, you have 11 months left!!

I'm just sayin'.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

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.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
