Why 2017 Can Be A Fresh Start For You
Your Best Digs

With a new year comes a new semester. This means a fresh start for everything. You've recently been on a break so this means you've most likely had some quality rest and relaxation. This gives you a clear mind to go into the new semester. All the stuff clogging your mind from the past was left in the last year, leaving you with a fresh perspective. This is a great place to be in because you never know what this new year could hold for you.The new year also means new classes. All the stress and worry and maybe even bad grades from the past are left in the past. You get a clean slate to start over and be the best you can possibly be. Along with this new semester comes new opportunities, new boys, new friends, and an overall clean slate.

If you're a neat freak like me, the start of the semester is the best for you. It's all about organizing your new schedule, classes, and getting ready for what's to come. This means endless organizing in your calendar with a different colored pen to create a rainbow. This part is the best because you get to organize your life into one little book, all while making it aesthetically pleasing.

Along with new classes comes the opportunity to better yourself and set new goals and standards. You know what you're capable of and regardless of what happened in the past, this is a chance to reinvent the way you study, when you complete your work, and how you complete your work. With a good mindset, you can achieve anything and exceed your goals. The more positive you think, the better your outcome will be.

This new year is also a chance to leave drama from the past in the past. That dumb boy that momentarily broke your heart a little, forget about him. That friend that you got in a stupid fight about, laugh it off and move on. Literally, anything that occurred before this moment that is still weighing on your shoulders, just let it go. It's time to start fresh and that time starts now.

2017 is here ladies and gentleman and it's time to take this year on and absolutely kill it. So get ready for this new year, because it is about to bring amazing things to everyone.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
