Well, its over. I’d say 2016 has been a pretty crazy year. In the past 365 days, I went to Korea. Twice. I graduated high school, decided on where to go to college, moved to LA, and turned 19. Nineteen. NINETEEN. I had In-N-Out for the first time, went camping with PANTZ, and finally jumped on that iPhone band wagon.
In other news, Brexit happened. Pandas escaped the endangered animals list. South Korea Impeached their president. Leo finally won an Oscar. Hamilton freaking slayed the musical world. Donald Trump was elected. Fidel Castro died, as did Pokémon GO. And then somewhere along the way, 2016 was dubbed “the worst year ever.” But the general consensus right now (me included) is that 2017 will be better… And while I realize that the beginning of a new socially constructed calendar year will not suddenly change things (which is why I’m not a huge fan of New Year’s Resolutions), this year, I want to really focus on prioritizing the things that matter. Such as: Friends/Family and the relationships I have with them. My life aspirations. Developing a relationship with myself. Becoming closer to Christ. Learning new things. Being healthy. And having the courage to focus on the “why.” Not things like: The latest iPhone. My nail polish color. Mindless YouTube surfing. How acquaintances perceive me. Or superficial, materialistic things. So to end this essay turned listicle, cheers to 2017.
