The Year That Has Done It All

It's time to accept the new year and work hard towards success

The Year That Has Done It All
Kiplinger

We have all had our own weird, happy, and sad experiences this eventful year. Even celebrities such as Trump and nations such as Britain had their moments. I believe that the best way to deal with this year is to simply move on to the next taking this year as an example of what to do and what not to do in the upcoming year.

For those who like to make resolutions- don't make any unless you are going to actually work on it. Resolutions are like promises, if made, made to not be broken. Positive affirmations into the new year are wonderful and can help many get over the disappointments of 2016. A beautiful thought for the new year would be Memento Mori, we are all to depart from earth one day, isn't that all the more reason to live to your best today? Keeping this in mind I believ my 2017 will be exciting. What events are going to unfold is something we can't predict. However, the best we can do is to not let these events affect us majorly on an emotional level.

With the beginning of a new year we are given 12 months to do whatever we need to make our year successful. Using this opportunity is a necessity, hard but not impossible. This time is for ensuring that we don't lose the things and people we love. It is to stay thankful to all who have stuck by our sides despite the many obstacle S we faced. The people who have made you smile will continue to do the same. It is your choice to be a new person with a new year or to stay just the same.

I am grateful to end the year with great people by my side. You know who you all are and all I can say is I will always be by your side. Thank you 2016. Here I come 2017.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
