As the new year starts, there are some things I want to do, emotions I want to find, and bucket list items I want to cross off.
I want to find happiness. I have so many friends that have already been such a blessing to me in the past. In 2017, I can’t wait for all of the fun hangout sessions, roommate laughs, and the opportunity to meet more people. I have loved music for years and I can’t wait for all of the concerts 2017 will bring. Music does wonders for me. It truly makes me happy, and when I can meet artists and watch them perform, anyone within a mile can see the pure joy in my eyes.
I want to go to my first college party. It has been something I have wanted to do and it is my goal to attend one before I graduate. Yes, I know all of the warnings. Don’t leave your drink unattended. If you get uncomfortable, leave. Be careful. I am excited to have a fun night out and check it off my bucket list. Not all parties are bad.
I want to go to concerts, at least six would be awesome. That’s one every other month, which for me is very do-able. I love music, it’s my passion. Ultimately, I want to work as an advertiser/marketer for a record company, a band, or artist. I am excited for my band friends from across the country to come to my state so I can see them again. I also am looking forward to going to the Vans Warped Tour this summer. In 2017 (if they have a concert) I want to finally see Def Leppard. My dad loves them and when I was younger, I found their music on the computer one day and have loved them since.
I want to find God. I am a Christian and I do feel like I have already found Him, but I want to strengthen my relationship with Him. I can’t wait to feel the immense love and peace that I can find in God. I have anxiety which comes up at least once a week, and taking the time to sit and pray helps me. One of the staff members at my high school always said, “Let go and let God.” That phrase has stuck with me throughout the years and I think it is important for any Christian man or woman to remember.
I want to stop being a people pleaser and stand up for what I think and believe in. I am so easygoing, but sometimes I really shouldn’t be. I recently got out of a relationship and I think because of that I know what I want. I want to be taken out, paid attention to, and I know that I deserve so much. I should be treated like a princess. Date nights should be a regular thing. I need to be stronger in my everyday life too. If I have homework or a test that needs to be studied for and a friend asks to go hang out, I need to be able to say no. No isn’t always a bad thing, especially when college is involved.
I want to ride on a pedal bar. This summer I am turning 21 and a group of my friends and I are planning to try out a pedal bar in Detroit. I think it will be loads of fun and a great way to ring in my 21st birthday. If you don’t know what a pedal bar is, Google it. It looks amazing!
I want to get an internship. I have been working towards getting a great one that deals very closely with what I want to do for a career. I have already interviewed, I just need to wait for someone to contact me. Things there were put on hold for the holidays, so I am hoping that I hear back soon! An internship would be a great gateway into a career. After all, I only have a year of college left after the upcoming semester.
All in all, 2017 is going to be a great year. I am going to accomplish so much, meet new people, and find happiness. I can’t wait to see what’s in store!
