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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
