2016 Recap And Beginning To 2017!

Since as I'm writing this its the 1st of our new year 2017, and as cliché as it is I am going to write about my New Years resolutions and a bit about how my 2016 went. It seems as many are posting on social media that there's been a lot of people who had a rough 2016 but for me it has to be hands down one of the best years of my life.

This year I accomplished so much. I graduated high school, got into college, Finished my first semester of college with some pretty good grades, and managed to have a job with that. I as well this year truly found out what it's like to truly know who I am as a person and to be completely happy with who I am. I went through some rough times don't get me wrong but I've learned to take something good out of everything that happens, even the bad. I've learned what it's like to feel hurt but I've also learned what it's like to come back from that hurt and to become a better person. I've learned to love others no matter how dirty they do you. I've learned in life you just have to take it as it comes and go one day at a time and be grateful to be given another day.

As it is the New Year I have some New Years resolutions. Each year I go into with some but for some reason this year I feel really determined to stick to them. My first New Years resolution is to keep loving myself and take time every so often for just myself to do that. My second resolution is to never stop striving to be a better person, work each day to be better than the person I was yesterday. My third resolution is spread more positivity and love, just share a smile or a simple compliment to someone, something to make someone else's day. And my last resolutions is to just be healthy. Both physically and mentally. Focus and do the things that will better me in the long run for me physically maybe exercising more and mentally maybe meditating each morning. I am very excited to see where 2017 takes me and what I may accomplish and what god has in store for me. Happy New everyone!

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
