New Year

Am I the only one shocked that it's 2012?! I feel like I should still be a little kid playing with my friends after school, not 20 years old and going to college. I can't believe how fast I've grown up. It's crazy how when I was little all I wanted was to be old enough to drive, or old enough for this. I remember one of my mom's friends telling me that I was going to regret wishing I was 16, because once I was there I'd wish I was young again. She was wrong about me wishing I was younger at 16, but now, I'm starting to wish I could go back to being young for just a little while longer.

This past semester was great, as you saw in my previous post. I'm so thankful that my mom and dad didn't let me make the wrong decision about where I would go to school just because my "friends" weren't going there. OC is where I have always wanted to go, and I'm thankful that my parents didn't let me change my mind. I wouldn't have met the amazing friends that I have, or my boyfriend. Crazy how God makes things work out huh?

As the New Year has arrived, everyone is making their New Years Resolutions. Most people's resolutions are the usual, losing weight, not drinking pop, or other things like that and the majority of people will only last a few months before they give up on their resolutions. I'm definitely one of those people. In the past I've made multiple resolutions and given up on them within the first few months.

But this year I'm hoping it'll be different. I have two resolutions. 1) Strengthen my relationship with God. 2) Work on my language problem. I know that the second one will be a lot easier if I start putting God first in my life. I'm hoping I won't give up on these two resolutions. If you hear me cussing, say something to me. I'm gonna need all the help I can get. (yes even you too mom :p)

I hope your New Years Resolutions are something worthwhile, and if you come up with any other resolutions throughout the year, you don't have to wait until the next year to implement them. Start making yourself a better person whenever you think of it. Don't procrastinate.
