The Year Of Me

Me, Myself and I

Jan 11, 2016

In the past, I've always made a list of things that I want to change or things that I feel are necessary for the new year, but I've never actually done any of them. This year is different. This year I want to make the things on my list not so much about what I want to change about myself but what I want to do and what will make me happy.

This year I'm taking a vow to make this year the year of me. This year I'm going to do things that make me happy, which is something I've found that most people actually have a hard time with, we are constantly trying to make other people happy, whether it be with our appearance, the way we carry ourselves, or the people we choose to hang out with. So this is my plan for this year.

1. Read More Books.

This one is number one on my list because, personally I love to read. Books take you to another world and place that sometimes take the pressure of reality off of you for at least a little while. Also reading makes you smarter so that's always another plus.

2. Exercise

Not lose weight, but exercise. Whether it be going on a run, yoga, or a cycling class. Exercising has been proven to let out endorphins which will make you a happier person. I want to exercise because I want to be a better version of myself and I know that this will help me get there.

3. Grow my relationship with the Lord

I want to become closer with God this year. I will take more time out of my day to sit down and read the bible, by doing this our relationship will grow and I feel that this will lead me to a better lifestyle.

4. Travel

This has been on my bucket list since I was 10 years old. But its always been about getting on a plane and traveling to some remote destination. Now I want to get in a car and camp under the night stars on the beach with a group of my greatest friends. I want to see the Big Apple, the Grand Canyon and the Arizona desert. I will probably not see all of these sights this year, but I will see at least one of them. I want to see the beautiful country God gave us all in this year.

This list of things is something that I will hold myself accountable to throughout the year. I definitely feel that I will lead a happier life after following through with the year of me.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
