I have a strong feeling that 2017 is going to be a great year. I'm not just saying this because 2016 was not my best year, I'm saying this because I am going to have a different outlook on my life than I did before. It's a new year, and it's time for me to start this year fresh. I have things I want to work on and accomplish. These things are all priorities to me and this year I plan to take them seriously.

1. I need to work out. Yes, I know I say this every year. But 2016 has been rough. I completely stopped working out after August 2016. I got busy and I honestly just stopped caring. I need to start caring about my body, it should be my number one priority.

2. Doing better in school will be mandatory. Fall semester 2016 was hard. I took the hardest class and it brought my GPA down. It made me very sad, but this year I will work my hardest and raise my GPA to where it should be.

3. Laugh more and cry less. Instead of crying, I should be laughing because 2017 is going to be a happy and positive year.

4. Have fun. I think I forget that I need to have fun. I'm young. Having fun is so important and that is what I will remember most when I get older. I need to let loose.

5. Not taking things for granted. I need to become more aware of what I have and not take that for granted.
