The New Year, New You

Here's to the new ear! That means a new year, a new me. A new way of coming up with new ways of bettering myself and health. Though it is the beginning of the new year, we usually end up coming up with New Resolutions that we sometimes don't always complete or get to do because of financial issues, or just plain out lazy. Well, how about we start out fresh this year with a simple new years resolution. A simple one like Acing that one Philosophy or Anatomy course that you heard from past students that it is complicated to pass. Why not just make that your new years resolution rather than something difficult that sometimes you won't be able to complete because of financial problems, or just because we have a busy schedule all year. It could also be your new year's resolution to make more time for other things like travel or even going to that wedding expo or that spontaneous road trip adventure you've been planning since the first year that you have yet to take. Why not that one? Why not that one?

Well, we can't really do that one because we don't have a lot of time on our hands. Unless you're rich, and you are able to do any type of spontaneous road trip when you want, but if that's the case, good for you! We all wish we could be like you, but sadly we aren't all like you and have to slave over a 500-1000 page book for our midterms, and we don't get free time until we complete that book or assignment. All work and no play makes us a dull girl or boy. Ahem, I'm sorry, that was out of line. Anyway, back to what we were talking about, ( dull girl or boy...) Agh! Stop it! (Okay...). Okay, it may have stopped for now, (Hopefully it's stopped.) So, even though it is the beginning of a new year, we strive over different ways to better ourselves and our lives. If you want to cut down on eating a lot of carbs, then, by all means, do that. After all, it is your new year's resolution. If you want to go work out at the gym and make sure you have the Baby got back bubble well taken care of, then keep going at it. You got this, sugar.

If it is your new year's resolution to better yourself by making it a goal this year to save money, then do it! Save as much as you can to make that dream trip across Europe happen. You never know what will happen if you don't go for it and see what happened. Remember, 2016 may have been horrible for you, but that doesn't mean 2017 will be the worse. It's up to you to make 2017 the greatest or the worse. We can't decide for you, only you can make it happen. So, get up now and go do it or else, All work and no play makes us all a dull girl and boy.

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
