Growing Into My Best Self

My take on how I can be a rockstar in 2017.

Growing Into My Best Self
Huffington Post

I promised myself this year would be different. I promised I would be different because I knew I couldn't keep doing the same old things I always did. I couldn't keep trying to diet and quit after three days. I couldn't fall victim to my thoughts or my anxiety. I couldn't let myself not take the leap because I knew they would never pick me.

It's January 8th, sure that's early, but this year is already different. I've grown my personal brand. Hell, I simply created my personal brand. I've followed through with all of my health goals. I've made myself a schedule to balance my work and personal life. I even took a risk and applied for a second part-time job doing something I love.

I guess what I'm trying so say is that, for once, I really am going for it. This year is my year. This year will be the year that I go for everything I want and, even if I don't get it all, I will not quit. I will not let myself be a victim of 2017.

Let's rock this year out!

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.
