Let's Start Over

There isn't a better time to make a better you than you and that time is now.

So its the start of a new year and there is a lot to look forward to. There are going to be new experiences and more memories made. Make this year yours. If you had a rough year in 2016 make 2017 the year of your triumph. Here are some steps to help you out.

1. Think positive thoughts.

The year won't be good if you don't think positive. If you take every bad experience and make them a learning experience than you will succeed.

2. Change your ways.

Life is about change. We all change in everything we do, what we experience and everyone we meet. Have others help you realize who you truly are. They will be there for you and don't shy away from great opportunities. Changing is a way of life and sometimes, if not most of the time, change is for the better.

3. Overcoming adversity.

Life will throw obstacles in your way. However, it depends on you whether or not you will succeed. Once you come to a roadblock don't turn around and give up. Figure out ways to go around it and keep moving forward.

4. Set goals.

I was watching some videos and they have had this message. If you put your mind to it and work really hard to succeed, you will achieve that success.


Take all of the points listed here and use them to create the best year for you. Don't let anyone say that you can't because I know you can. There isn't a better time to make a better you than you and that time is now.

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?

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.
