Time keeps slipping away. It's the last day of 2016 --in the past year, I went ice skating for the first time, bought a car with my partner Nico, spent time in the mountains, presented research at a Sociology conference in Atlanta, completed an internship with a local non-profit, saw Michelle Obama speak on campus, turned 21 and spent an evening on the Trolley Pub, voted for the first time, helped cook a real (vegan) Thanksgiving, worked as an undergraduate research assistant on a project I care about, and graduated early magna cum laude with my BA.
I feel like I'm now between stages in my life and this year will be a whole lot of new things that I have to prepare myself for. I've spent the last 15.5 years as a student but now that I've graduated, I have to figure out who I am when I'm not in school. I'll be continuing on as a research assistant and working as a house manager at the theater while I continue to search for more permanent positions. With all of my unstructured time in the next few months, I can turn my focus to working on myself and really growing as a person this year. Here are some of my resolutions or goals for the year:
- Create something at least once a week
- Read before bed
- Start doing yoga regularly
- Send thank you cards and call my family more often
- Learn to manage my anxiety, even if it means returning to medication
- Focus on my health in general -mental health, taking better care of my diabetes, getting more active
- Take efforts to make my life more eco-friendly such as reducing my carbon footprint and reducing waste
