2015 will always be a big year for you. This was the year that you've learned a lot, overcame a lot, and struggled a lot until you were able to find yourself and true happiness. And it's this year, 2015, that will give you the motivation to become a better person for the sake of the new year. While looking back, there are so many things I wished I would've told you back then, but I rounded it up to the 4 important things I would've told you back then.

Don't rush. Period.

2015 was the year that you did A LOT of rushing. You rushed a lot in your personal life (that didn't end well), and you rushed school wise. I wished I told you in the beginning of the year to stay how you were on January 1st. Stay how you were and don't move forward until you were ready. It would've taken days or months.

Don't take the people who love you for granted.

There will be times in this year that you will go through a lot of struggles, and there will be times this year when you will lose yourself. But the one thing you should never lose is the people you grow close with this year. You will meet people that will give you advice and stand with you, so don't take them for granted. They will stay with you and love you for who you are as much as you fear people leaving, so do not take them for granted.

Don't stress over everything.

When things happen, and trust me they will, it's important to keep these two things in mind: 1) Relax. This is also the year your anxiety will be big and bad, like the big bad wolf inside you. So for the sake of your anxiety relax. 2) thing is everything happens for a reason. Again, what you will go through will happen, but it's important to remember everything happens for a reason, and it will lead to who you are now, so prepare yourself, don't stress about what happens, and just breathe because everything is gonna be alright.

- "Remember who you are."

Yes, I used a Disney quote. But as I stated many times, you will struggle. You will have times when you will scream and cry and want to give up so hard. But never forget who you are. You found yourself at the beginning of freshman year in college, and it's important to be who you are and staying true to who you are. Because once you find yourself, you can get through anything and everything.

I'm very proud of how far you've come during the past years, and with 2017 coming very soon, it will leave you with more opportunities to grow.
