How I'll Be Changing My Life In 2019

2018 was a year that was very polarizing. Some things were very incredible and changed the way that people looked at the world, but other things broke people and changed them maybe for the worse.

I know for me personally, when a new year rolls around, I want to try new things to try to change the way that I think, look at myself, and maybe even how I look at the world. So going into this year, I made a list of activities and other things I want to try this year and maybe even get into.

I hope that this inspires you to create a whole new you in 2019 and shows you that it's okay to try new things, even if you fail.

The first thing I want to do is meditate even more. I have been mediating throughout the whole 2018 and I absolutely love how it makes me feel.

Meditation helps you connect your mind, body, and soul. For me, after meditating, I feel so calm and collected and even more motivated to have a good day.

The next thing I want to get into this year is art. I've always been very bad at drawing and painting and stuff like that, but I really am into looking at art and I have always wished I was a lot better at it, but I just always pushed it off as something that I couldn't do.
I decided for 2019 I wasn't going to let myself tell myself that I wasn't going to do something just because I think I can't do it. I really want to start with painting because I really love watching people paint and colors and things like that.

I also hope to start getting better at presenting myself. I love makeup and I really like to do my makeup, but I really want to become better at it. I always watch videos on Youtube of makeup artists doing their makeup and I hope to get better at makeup this year.

Also, I want to start getting nicer clothes for myself because usually I really don't care about what clothes I wear.

Next, I want to start taking group classes at the gym. In 2018, I started going to the gym regularly and I love it so much. However, I really hate going with other people and being around other people when I'm working out.

So, this year, I decided to take classes at my gym and be around other people.

The last thing I want to do this year is probably the most important. I have always been a very closed off person and I don't open up to a lot of people. I internalize a lot of things and it always bottles up and pops out in the worst ways.

So, this year, I would really like to open up to more people and say whats on my mind and try not to internalize things. Being open with the people you love is so important and when I do open up about what has bothered me, it helps me so much.

This year is going to be a lot different than 2018 and I believe all people can change for the better.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
