2016 will be a new year full of promise and hope. It will be a year to remember! Now here is why.
1. I will turn 21
Yes, I know that my birthday is not until the end of the calendar year. However, it does not make me less excited to be a new age and a new me. I will be allowed to party like an adult!
2. It's a leap year
We have not seen one of those in four years and it is time. Leap year 2016, here we come!
3. Presidential election
This will be the first time I can vote in a presidential election. Now, more than ever, is the time to vote.
4. Olympics
The summer 2016 Olympics will be happening and the channel will be tuned in to NBC 24/7.
5. Food
As I take a head start into my twenties, now is the time to explore different cultures and delicious food.
6. Travel
Most people say that now is the time to travel while you have no responsibilities. I plan on taking full advantage of that!
7. Netflix
Every month, Netflix reevaluates what they have and they either add or take away movies and shows.
8. New Semester
As a college student, I know how stressful it can be. Starting in January 2016, it is a new semester and we are taking full advantage of our education.
9. Friendships
In 2016, I will take the time to appreciate the friends I have and to express to them how grateful I am for the time we have spent together.
10. Lifestyle changes
It is time for me to start taking better care of my health by exercising and eating healthier.
11. New Goals
As the new year rolls in, people want to come up with new goals. They want to find a new purpose in life. Actor Viola Davis says "The higher purpose of my life is not the song and dance or the acclaim, but to rise up, to pull up others and leave the world and industry a better place."
