Thoughts on 2016......

My life has changed this year very much. I started college, graduated high school and now I'm living away from home which is a thing I have never done before. It gives me more freedom and I love it! I have met my best friends in my first semester of college. I have gone through life changes in 2016. Also, my close cousin passed away from cancer this year and that was a hard loss for our family. Even though him and his family live in Ireland, we are still close. Cancer really does stink, but in 2016 I have matured a lot as a person. I have learned who my real friends are and who are not. Also in college I have made bad decisions that I've learned from. 2016 was a good and bad year. I'm excited to see what comes in the future for my life!

2016 has came around for different types of opportunities, especially the leadership ones I've obtained including being an Orientation Leader, e-board positions for three clubs I am a part of and being a Campus Life Program's Assistant (newer position on campus). Friendships were created, destroyed and rebuilt for numerous of reasons and family has came and gone. Death was in the picture for a few different appearances but it's a thing we have to accept. World wise, 2016 has had an interesting turn of events that all of us probably know about by now. All I know is 2016 was a roller-coaster and I know it was probably the same way for a majority of you like it was for me and I'm only praying 2017 will be better and I'm sure you all will be too. Have a Happy New Year!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
