New Year, Same Me

If I had to describe how my 2017 went in one word I probably couldn't. This year was the most influential and confusing year I have ever had.  I graduated High school, I finally had a successful year for my business, and I started College. Yeah... life happened in 2017 and some parts weren't the best but I wouldn't trade the memories and friendships I made for anything. I don't really know how well 2018 is going to go but I'm hopeful for a year full of new achievements and memories made with the people that I love. I suppose I should make a few new years resolutions just to use as a bench mark next New Years and to see how well I did, but this year I'm doing it a little differently. Its a new year, not a new me. I'm making my resolutions things that I WILL do instead of thing that I wont do. I think that will be much more achievable.  

In 2018 I want to...

• Glow up in private so it shows in public

• Write on my blog everyday things that make me happy as kinda a traveling journal of my life

• Make memories with the people that matter the most

• Do more to stay ahead in my studies and school because goodness knows college is hard

• Take time to take care of myself

• Most importantly, spend time and make a concerted effort to strengthen my faith

Now...like I said, 2017 was an important year so to honor my year in review I'm going to add a few pictures of memories from each month that I will never forget.
