A Review of 2017 and What I Expect of 2018

2018 is going to be my year.

Usually, when it comes to the new year, people are so quick to come up with resolutions. They're going to be someone new this yer, take care of themselves more than the previous year, achieve new goals. However, most of the time, these resolutions don't go farther than the first week or two and aren't accomplished.

For me, this new coming year wasn't very exciting. I didn't make resolutions, I didn't set any goals.

2017 was not a very exciting year for me, not a lot happened. I don't want to say it was just a year that passed, but in a lot of ways it was. 2017 was a year in which things were preparing to fall into place for 2018. There were a few highlights, such as becoming an Odyssey EIC, my boyfriend and I celebrating a year together, and declaring my third minor. It wasn't that 2017 was a BAD year either. I was broke for a lot of it, I gained weight, but those things happen. I'm still relatively healthy and I'm still living, so I'm grateful.

Although I don't have much to review from 2017, I know what to expect from 2018. Not goals, but truths. I'm speaking them into existence, and I know the universe will back me up.

From 2018 I can expect:

-To start my first internship

-To graduate with my bachelor's degree

-To start graduate school to get my master's in social work

-To move into my first apartment with my best friend/boyfriend

And I'm sure many others. There are steps I need to take in order to get there of course, but I have no doubt that these things will happen. 2018 is a year I've been waiting for for a long time, and now that it's here, I'm ready for what it has to offer me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
