2016 was rough for some and a blessing for others. Friends got engaged, married, found out they're pregnant, had a baby or got a new job. Now, do not get my wrong, 2016 had some ups but it definitely had a few downs. I did a lot, I moved to Flordia, got a new job and took the adventure of a lifetime to visit my brother in India. I just wish I would've done even more in 2016, tried harder to get ahead or just spent more time by myself. So I'm making a list; a list of things I want to get done this year. My year, 2017! It's going to be great and even if it isn't, I know it will be full of stories to tell my children.
1. Buy myself something nice
2. Win in the 1000 coin pool game
3. Rid myself of unwanted people
4. Read more
5. Go to the gym more
6. Watch every single episode of Sex and the City
7. Keep up with The Bachelor (will Nick find love?)
8. Drink more white wine (not moscato)

10. Do things for myself
11. Sleep in my bed more
12. Save up to go to NYC before I graduate
13. Graduate

15. Get wifi
16. Unpack from India
17. Find a job
18. Go to the beach more
19. Study more
20. Get more A's
21. Eat in the cafeteria more
22. Volunteer more
23. Fight harder for what I believe in
24. Spend time in the library
25. Drink more coffee
26. Go skydiving
27. Use less data
28. Learn to cook more

Who knows if I will be able to pull all of these off and who knows if it will make me feel accomplished; but even if I do half of these, I'll know I put forth an effort to make myself happy. So I'm starting today and I'm looking forward to making 2017 a good year. For me, I hope it's 10 times better than 2016.
I hope that each and every one of you have an amazing 2017. I hope it is full of love, happiness, and adventure.
Make this year the best year yet!
Love,
New year, improved me
