Happy New Year | 2014
December 31, 2013It's always so hard to begin these things. You think about "hmm, should I write something clever to start it?" because by doing so, you'll captivate an imaginary audience who'll appreciate your little sense of humour. But then you remember that you're not that funny, so begin to write something clever like this.
2013 has been a fantastic year, let's just say that. I've done amazing things, such as; traveling Europe, turning 20 in Europe, met amazing people during that trip in Europe, went to Quebec with family, spent time with family, go to school to learn about brains and shit, learn new things whilst traveling abroad, like you have to pay to use majority of the washrooms in Europe, and also, I really want to move to London. Travelling to Miami to spend time with family for mum's birthday, went on a cruise called Carnival Victory where I spent 4 days on sea and met amazing people. I especially miss Alex, our waiter from Romania. He was freaking awesome, having long conversations with my family and I whilst we dine, and talking about anything and everything. He was truly a friend and I hope he does well in his life. Besides traveling, I've also made close bonds with high school friends. They became relevant out of the blue but become good company as well. This year I wasn't too worried about friendships and losing them and having major ups and downs. There are those mandatory things that are bound to happen, but I've learned to let it go and move on. It is what it is and I'm still happy. My mum and I have become closer, not that we weren't already, but I've taken much more care of her. She's getting old, and as much as she doesn't want to admit it, life is taking a toll on her. Well, she does admit it but she tries not to let it affect us. I just want her and my father to be healthy and live a long life.
I also want to do well in school and graduate with a honours in Psychology. It's been a tough year for me in terms of school. I'm starting to think school isn't for me, but doesn't everyone say that? I can't just think that way and give up. Education is vital and I like what I'm learning. It just takes a lot of time and patience to understand the material. My grades are definitely not up to par, but if I keep working at it, I know I can do it. Maybe not get high B's or A's in general, but I can somehow make it. Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself, but.... that's what I want to believe.
I also want to add that people shouldn't base how they rate their year by the number of friends they made or lost. They should look at it as, what have I done that I haven't done before, or didn't think I would have done. Or what inspired me the most, what places have I visited, who made me the most happiest and vise versa. "Life" - and I put that in quotations because it's subjective to people - is more than ups and downs with friends and family. We should look deeper into our accomplishments and new findings. And then we should make more goals, plans, and ideas and branch out in our adventures and mentalities. We should look beyond our pity life and be thankful and appreciative that we're even on this dang planet. We should want to do better for ourselves and prove ourselves and others wrong.
Dream big. Do big.
Happy New Year, and may this year be your best year yet.
(And remember, you make your year the best, no one else does. So make sure it's right!)
