The New Year has officially begun and we are only a few days into it, but a lot is coming, a lot will be changing, good, bad or indifferent that change is coming. New thing for me new places I want to see and new things I want to do.
If I could be my 20 years over again, I probably would and to be honest I would probably change almost everything. I wouldn't be shy, I would try more things, I would talk to the boy I had been crushing on, I would do things just because "YOLO" so I guess that would be my New Years Resolution, to be all the things I would have changed, to go on adventures and just do things for the thrill. In August I will be 21 and I am determined to go to Vegas, so I WILL go to Vegas. I want to go to Europe, and while it might not happen in 2017 I can plan it and once it is set and stone, I will get on that plane and go.
If there is one thing I learned in 20 years, it is to never pass up an opportunity, never tell yourself you can not do something, because sometimes it just takes the "I CAN DO IT" mentality and you're good to go! If you don't go on adventures and you don't take risks, you will regret it. I don't want to be that person that never travels or sees new places that are close to home. When everyone is in with the new fad, I am going to jump right in because why not?
2017 is going to be all about change and risk. I changed schools this year, I am in a whole different realm than I am used to. I never lived in a city, I never had classes with 100+ people in it, but now I am going too, and that is okay because change is good. If I never made the decision to change what I didn't like in the past, chances are I would still be pretty unhappy. Being unhappy is probably one of the worst things you can be, so I made those changes in my steps toward happiness, and I will continue to make those steps until that journey is complete
So lets ring in the New Year! 2017 is here and we got a long way to go. People will enter and exit our lives, we will have fun and we will be sad. Chances are we will make mistakes and be stupid sometimes in both the fun and not so fun way, but thats what makes life....life. Let us make this the best year of our lives!
2017...It's going to be LIT.
