Usually, when it comes to the new year, people are so quick to come up with resolutions. They're going to be someone new this yer, take care of themselves more than the previous year, achieve new goals. However, most of the time, these resolutions don't go farther than the first week or two and aren't accomplished.

For me, this new coming year wasn't very exciting. I didn't make resolutions, I didn't set any goals.

2017 was not a very exciting year for me, not a lot happened. I don't want to say it was just a year that passed, but in a lot of ways it was. 2017 was a year in which things were preparing to fall into place for 2018. There were a few highlights, such as becoming an Odyssey EIC, my boyfriend and I celebrating a year together, and declaring my third minor. It wasn't that 2017 was a BAD year either. I was broke for a lot of it, I gained weight, but those things happen. I'm still relatively healthy and I'm still living, so I'm grateful.

Although I don't have much to review from 2017, I know what to expect from 2018. Not goals, but truths. I'm speaking them into existence, and I know the universe will back me up.

From 2018 I can expect:

-To start my first internship

-To graduate with my bachelor's degree

-To start graduate school to get my master's in social work

-To move into my first apartment with my best friend/boyfriend

And I'm sure many others. There are steps I need to take in order to get there of course, but I have no doubt that these things will happen. 2018 is a year I've been waiting for for a long time, and now that it's here, I'm ready for what it has to offer me.
