This year has been very eventful. There were a lot of ups and downs. My schoolwork got overwhelming, I had some quarrels with friends, and I started to question my decisions.
But through it all I have been listening to myself. When things were getting too much, I would fall ill, which was my body's way of telling me to scale back on my extracurricular activities. This year is a learning experience for how to improve my overall well-being in 2018. In honor of the new year, let me begin to describe my resolutions.
This New Year's Eve
I'm going to leave
All my troubles behind
I'll try to find
Myself as the woman I want to be
Gonna try and see
The light at the end of the tunnel, shining for me
I started to lose my way:
The academic workload almost led me astray
I almost couldn't manage work and play
But I'm stronger than I was yesterday
I make my own choices
And I refuse to be drowned out by other voices
Keep it steady
Because now I am ready
To embrace the year ahead
Let's put the old one to bed
Here's to 2018
