I have to admit, as bad as 2016 seemed it honestly wasn’t terrible. Yes, many tragic things happened, peopled died, and our country mourned over a gorilla for six months, but I really can’t complain. I do want to start a new year though in hopes it will be completely different. There are a few things I don’t want to repeat again and some things I hope to finally see this unconquered year of 2017.
I hope 2017 holds a lot of unforgettable moments.
This will be the start of my last semester as an undergrad in college. I can only hope it will be filled with memories I can’t help but remember; nights I’ll be wanting back when 2018 rolls around.
I hope 2017 holds less uncertainty.
These past six months I have been going back and forth trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, what grad school to go to, which program will be the best fit, or if I should even just wait a year to go. I am uncertain of which career path I want to take and I don’t want to spend all of this new year trying to figure it out.
I hope 2017 holds new adventures.
I don’t want to get stuck. When you graduate college you have the chance to go anywhere and begin a new life somewhere new. I want to take the leap. I want this to be the year I don’t let anything hold me back from doing something adventurous.
I hope 2017 holds more opportunities.
Taking a leap needs to have motivation behind it. Whether that be to move with my best friend to her grad school she chooses or have a job offer from a different state/city, opportunity is what will lead me to taking the leaps I’m looking for in 2017.
I hope 2017 holds chances for me to find myself.
I thought I knew who I was and where I wanted to go, but honestly I really don’t. I won’t be able to though if I’m not given a chance to do so. The more adventures, the more opportunity, the less uncertainty, and the more unforgettable moments, the better the chances of finding who I am.
