I don't know about you, but every year I sit down and make a list of things I want to do for the new year. And it is that time of year again, folks. The year 2016 is coming to a close, even though 2015 felt like it was just yesterday. Well, 2017 is just right around the corner now. So here are my New Year's resolutions. This is list of a few things of that I am striving for in this year of 2017. Wish me luck.

1. Losing weight, or at least exercising more. I have already lost 12 pounds this year, so I just need to stay focused and keep doing whatever it is that I'm doing because it is working.

2. Geting out of debt by making more money. Either by getting a second job or doing number five. Or coming up with a whole another idea for cash.

3. I want to go back to school to become a teacher. I already tried online schooling and I can't focus very much; maybe regular on campus classes will help.

4. Go on a road trip. I don't know where to, but I have paid vacation time off so I can travel somewhere.

5. I want to publish a book. I wrote the first chapter of my book that I want to be published next year, so I'm one step closer.

These are just a few things that I want to do for the year 2017. I want to make these things happen; hopefully I can.
