Well, you made it. First of all, you survived high school, you turned 18, you survived your first semester as a college student and you went to Europe for the first time ever.

You went through a lot… You made mistakes and you had your heartbroken but you’ve been learning from all of that. You learned how to speak up and stand up for yourself more. You discovered who your real friends are; you also learned that family is everything and they’ll always be there for you.

You learned it’s okay to be alone and you don’t need a relationship to be happy and you also realized that your friends will always be there for you through your heart breaks. You also learned that your new obsession is cheese (weird but who knew). 2016 brought you your roommate aka your new best friend. 2016 also brought you many successful events. You graduated high school, made it through your first semester of college and you made Deans List!

2016 also brought you some AMAZING adventures. You got to roam around Paris, London and Normandy. You learned that the freshman 15 is a real thing, no matter how many times you would tell people that you would avoid that. You learned that you can binge watch a season of Gilmore Girls in less than 3 days.

2016 taught you a lot. 2016 was your year; but now its time to conquer 2017. You got this.
