The 'New Year, New Me' Mindset Is Bullsh*t

Are you suddenly going to change your ways in 2018?

Are you suddenly going to change your ways in 2018? I seriously f*cking doubt it, because I won't be. I'm the same bitch on the same bullsh*t in 2018.

I know I'm going to have some wonderful new memories this year, but I'm also prepared for the horrible, traumatic events that happen (maybe I'm just incredibly cynical, who knows?). However, I know that I'm not going to suddenly change at the start of a new year.

I try to play the New Years Resolution game every year, and I always end up making resolutions that I literally forget by February and what's the point of that? 2017 taught me to make goals throughout the year and spend the entire year growing as a person through a ton of smaller goals.

I will definitely grow as a person over this next year; it's inevitable. However, I know that making New Years Resolutions never works out for me, or really most people. You're literally the same person from the end of 2017 as you are now! How wild!

Chances are that you're not going to *magically* start going to the gym 5 days a week unless you're willing to put in the hard work. You also gotta set realistic goals; One of my goals for this next year is to actually throw out underwear that is beyond the point of wearing again (RIP holey lace panties).

Start setting realistic goals for yourself (and actually write them down somewhere so you don't simply forget them) and get ready to absolutely crush this new year! I have big things planned for 2018 and I can't wait to see what positive growth this year has to bring me.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
