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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
