A Review of 2017 and What I Expect of 2018

2018 is going to be my year.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
