2019 Can Still Be Your Year

Even if you've already had a mental breakdown or two, don't forget to stop and smell the daisies.

2019 Can Still Be Your Year
Maddi Mangum

Okay ladies and gents, I get that we can be a little dramatic and sometimes it's comical… But it's four weeks into 2019, and just because of a breakdown or maybe even two doesn't mean this can't be your year.

There are a lot of hiccups that come and go throughout the year. Hence the saying, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

A lot of the struggles that we face aren't permanent and aren't life-altering. So why act like they are when one thing goes wrong in 2019? I think 2019 is the year we all realize there's something bigger in the works when not everything goes our way.

No year is perfect, and some are gonna be harder than others. But again, that doesn't mean it can't be your year because it got hard.

I can't think of one remarkable person who hasn't faced hardship, and for good reason. A lot of times, what makes people stand out or important is the things they accomplished while at their worst or in difficult times.

People have also altered their lives based on bad situations and made their lives 100 times better, helping both themselves and others in the process. For example, people with illnesses who survive and go on to help others with the same illness.

Regardless of what happens in between 2019 and 2020, DO NOT let the first month depict how the rest of the year will go. Again, I get it. It's funny when we are kinda dramatic, but I also know that smalls hiccups are not going to define your whole year…especially when it's only four weeks into the new year.

There's so much negativity that goes on. So why be a Negative Ned about the little things that definitely aren't going to ruin your year, when you can be realistic and know that your year can still be super bomb? After all, you have 11 months left!!

I'm just sayin'.

1. Why is Wilson Hall so complicated to navigate? Even as a senior, I still get lost in Wilson. As a freshman, I was warned about the unnecessary complexity of the building, was laughed at by upperclassman for my confused looks on the first day of school and walked and rewalked the whole hall before finding my classroom. #annoying.

Blair Waldorf For governor of new york

Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a Miranda from Sex and the City, is running for governor of New York. I think that this would be the best decision that has been made in a while solely based off of the fact that almost no one knows New York like the cast of Sex and the City. This got me thinking about who else would be a good candidate to take over the city of dreams. Then I realized that Blair Waldorf, if she were a real person, would be my number one choice for governor. Here are five reasons why Queen B would be an excellent ruler.
