How do you feel about the end of 2016? Or the beginning of 2017?

Some might say that 2016 was quiet the year. From the presidential election to Beyonce's release of Lemonade. The world has seen it all. As 2016 comes to a close, many people tend to reflect on the good things, the bad things and everything in between. From a psychological stand point, people tend to reflect on their lives to see how far they have come, what goals they have reached and how to make their lives better for the next year.

While many people are excited to get rid of 2016 and bring on a new year there are always somethings that don't go as planned. The first of the year, always seems to shed more positive light on people's lives.

A here comes the long strand of New Years Resolution. Everyone claims they will have and stick to their New Years Resolution, but they are always more difficult then it may seem. The question everyone faces at this time of year as to what their new years resolution is going to be. And do they really work? The top New Years Resolution are eat healthier and to loose weight and while more then half will probably fail in the first few weeks, but those first few weeks everyone is at the gym. Everyone seems to go nuts in that time period.

So my tip for everyone is just being happy and healthy!

So whether you are happy 2016 is over or sad to see it go, everyone is always striving for bliss.

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?
