New Year Motivation

These aren't the usual New Years Resolutions.

New Year Motivation

2017 is just a few short weeks away. Where in the world did 2016 go? Why are we getting so old? Why does time seem to be going faster and faster as the years go by? I'm not normally a fan of New Years Resolutions, because they always die off by mid-January. That's why I'm not making any resolutions, however, I do believe that the New Year brings new opportunities. There's nothing wrong with making 2017 better than 2016. Is that cliche? Probably. Here's some inspirational quotes to get you ready to make 2017 your bitch.

Who doesn't love being fierce?

You have the power to choose your priorities, whether it be becoming successful, your family, your own personal happiness.. whatever it may be. Don't let society pressure you!

There's a reason why those asshole people aren't in your life anymore. Don't let the New Year change your opinion! Don't say: "It's a New Year, things can change." NO. They really can't. People don't change. They're still the same assholes they were last year. You're MUCH better off.

Yep, I'm one of those people who despises Monday's. You need to find something you're passionate about, no matter what it is. Teaching, art, music, business, whatever floats your boat. If you wake up on Monday, excited about going to work or going to school, you're doing something right.

Seriously though. Don't put up with any crap. You ain't got time for that! You do you, you focus on you, and don't worry about other people and their drama.

Last but not least, this is one of my favorites. It really is never too late to get your shit together! 2017 will be your year! Keep working your ass off, I promise it will pay off in the long run. You can do anything you put your mind to!

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.
