New Year, Not A New Me In 2019

Sometimes New Year's resolutions are overrated.

New Year's resolutions, what a wonderful thing they are. Everyone knows a thing or two about New Year's resolutions made each year. Even if you committed to all the goals created, something about looking back at the last year lived is a bit sad.

As it was the final day of 2018, I began looking back at the year I lived. The people I met, the experiences I had, all the time spent doing homework at 2 a.m, I started to think about everything. 2018, in all honesty, was a bland year in my life.

Nothing too eventful came in the year of 2018, which I'm not too sure what emotion I should feel. These are a couple of small memories of 2018...

In the year 2018, I was able to see Harry Styles live in the flesh. What a time that was to watch my 13-year-old dreams come to life. Oh Harry, how I love you so much, dear. That was a night I can really never forget.

In the year 2018, I shaved my hair for the second, third, fourth, and five times. In June, I made the bright decision to shave my head in a fit of distress and have loved it ever since. At times, I resemble a young boy, but it's my signature look.

This year I met some amazing people who've allowed me to truly be myself. These people were once strangers to me and became the ones to rely on during my worst days. Forever thankful for those people that came into my life, even the ones that live thousands of miles apart.

On a sad note, in the year 2018, I watched most to not all my friends get into relationships. Some of us began the year single and ended the year with significant others. While I've gotten to watch my friends fall in love, I've stayed loveless. For the millionth time, yes I'm single, I know.

This year, I attempted to go vegetarian, which was such a learning experience. Not eating meat lasted about a month and was such a triumph in my life. To be honest, I love bacon and a hardy hamburger really does it for me. I'll say it, I'm proud of myself for being a vegetarian, even for a month.

New Year's resolutions and ridiculous goals aren't needed each year to feel as if the past year had substance. The old year holds quite a few memories to look back at and analyze life so far, you don't have to win an Oscar, to feel as if you had a pretty decent year.

So guys, when you look back at the year that you lived, take some time to be happy about the little things. Those little things that didn't seem too eventful are apart of those days in your journey. Life can be great at times, even those small things, just look beyond the box sometimes cause life shows its beauty in many ways. Take the New Year a small step at a time, each uneventful day has its meaning.

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.
