New Years resolutions are always the epiphany of the new year rolling in. Gym membership subscriptions go up and goals are set to achieve the best year of your life. I am one of the weirdos that loves to celebrate the fresh start. I personally always make a list of resolutions for the year and these goals are things that I have set myself to achieve and not to remain on my list of things to do. With that, I set goals that are easily achievable and simple to do. They are more of a habit breaking list of to do's for the year. Then I always write them all down in the notes of my phone so that I can be reminded of them whenever I need to.

I also make a quote of the year. Something that sums up all my resolutions and makes me get excited to accomplish my list. I think of this saying more than I do my list of resolutions because when I read this quote or song lyric I am instantly aware of what I'm doing in the year. My favorite thing to do is to pick a song for the year so that when it comes times to wrap up the year you can look back and listen to that song.

Setting these goals for myself allows me to grow. It makes me feel so accomplished when I check off all the boxes and I can confidently say that I am doing the best that I can to be the best person I can. Make sure that all of these goals are things that you really truly think you'll be able to do so that ways it's harder to give up. It settles me in such a crazy transitioning period from year to year and only allows me to grow. New Years Resolutions are always seen as something that is so stupid and no one actually does but when you put your mind to it, they are just a reason for you to grow. New Year, Same. But, New Year, new goals to achieve and conquer.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
