New Year, Better Me
itsecurityguru.org

Let me hop onto the New Years Resolution bandwagon, and then hitch that bandwagon to the "New year, new me" bandwagon, and then I'll hook that one onto the "I'm going to be healthy this year" bandwagon, because thats exactly what I'm doing.

I just want to be... better. Better attitude (okay yeah I'll probably still be a sarcastic, cat-loving asshole but that's not the point), better health choices, better stress management, better everything!

Okay, first thing first. The most important thing I want to better about myself in 2017 is my health. And yes, part of it is the cliche "I'm going to lose a bunch of weight" resolution, but it's also my overall health. I am that friend of yours who is ALWAYS (and I mean always) sick. I always have a stuffy nose, am coughing up a lung, or am just casually dying of some unidentifiable virus that no doctor actually knows how to help (this actually just happened to me, I'm not overreacting). I'm going to invest in a multivitamin and start taking that religiously. And on top of that I am going to start living a healthier lifestyle in terms of my relationship with food and exercise.

My attitude is usually fine, so I guess it's more focused on my attitude when I'm not fine, and how I process being upset. I don't want to keep my emotions pent up, so this year I am going to do my best to speak my mind (in the most polite way possible) whenever I am upset, so I don't have these negative feelings coursing through me. This also goes into my stress management issue, because as a college student I am stresssssssed. Less procrastinating, and I will make sure I find some time to unwind and take a load of.

This year is about me. Healthy body. Healthy mind. Healthy me.

So long 2016, I've welcomed 2017 with open arms!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
