My New Year's Resolutions
This upcoming year will be one of the busiest years of my life. 2019 is the year I graduate from university, get my first real (teaching) adult job, and probably a lot of things in between that I'm not ready for and will have to take in stride. With all this above me, I want to write out my New Year's Resolutions. I want to hold myself accountable and reach new heights, be a better me. So here is my list:

Specifically Random Thoughts on 2018
Sitting down and looking at my phone screen is weird, since I can barely use my phone to text people back within an appropriate time. But I wanted to take this opportunity to share my feelings about random and specific things and conclude this brief, but important chapter called 2018.

My New Resolution
Part 1—Introduction My new resolution! I will start out and say that 2018 sucked for me big time. Sometimes if felt it was a shit show of a spectacle. I got out of a long-term relationship. I thought it would be on good terms. Although it wasn’t really mutual, I was under the impression that it was due to time drifting us apart. Later found out he was a liar, cheat and so many other things. That crashed my world. I then became a single parent. Having all those responsibilities on my shoulder was a change and hard. Then I got hurt and wasn’t able to do anything. Good news now is that I am slowly getting better. I felt like I really hit rock bottom and had periods of sadness, depression, and despair.

New Year Renewal
Each year begins in a fallow phase. We greet the new year from the frozen heart of winter. We stand upon the edge of time looking backward over the past year and forward toward the new. For many, the new year represents a time of contemplation and resolution. Many resolve to break past patterns. Others resolve to begin new habits designed to bring more health, happiness, and longevity. We often gather with friends to celebrate this new opportunity to begin again. Some take the time to contemplate both the past and future, to set goals, and to motivate themselves toward pinnacles left to be obtained.

Embracing the Early Hours
I remember when I was in high school, I used to spring out of bed, get ready to head out to early morning softball practice, and from then on my day was set. However, after my high school days and into my college years, I found it harder and harder to find a reason to wake up early and would stay in bed until the very last second. This would cause me to constantly rush and be in a hurry. I would be running to class, back to my dorm, to class and to work and back home. I was always constantly running. At first, I would tell myself how I liked being "busy" and that constantly being rushed was part of what having a full schedule and what living life was about. (Ohh how I was wrong!) Then after a while of that, I started to find it difficult to get out of bed at all. I was more content with the idea of staying in bed rather than facing the world. SO I would stay in bed, I would miss class, call out of work, bail on commitments. Sleeping in my dreams became more enjoyable than living.

Goals for the New Year
The Look Back First and foremost, you have to look back on everything that had happened this previous year. Decide on what things, routines, and people work best for you and what didn't work so well. Jot things down on paper and see what this past year was like. No matter if it was the worst or best year, you need this look back to set a foundation for a better year.

How to Create Successful Goals for the New Year. Top Story - December 2018.
With the year coming to a close and the excitement of what the next 365 days might bring, we are all creating the new year's resolution list in our minds. While I'm not a fan of creating goals on a particular day, I understand the mentality behind it. Each year feels like a clean slate for us to change things we don't like in our lives. However, most of us create goals that fizz out within the first two weeks of January. The problem isn't making a goal, but building one that we can genuinely accomplish.

It's Time to Let Go!
What would you risk to make your dreams come true? We spend a lot of time dreaming and hoping that one day we may accomplish our dreams and our goals, but when you finally start seeing things turn around for you; when you finally see your dreams coming true; you finally see things in your life progressing; will you allow yourself to fall back or will you allow yourself to lose focus and get distracted?

Pariah—Lonely Living in 2018
I can feel the uncertainty and sadness in the air. It is almost tangible and if you sit too still you can get infected yourself. I don't know if it's the way that 2018 has been. We have lost many of the legends and stable leaders in politics, music, and science from Aretha Franklin, to John McCain, to Stephen Hawking. The air feels different, our country is controlled by unstable, shady leaders who make America come off as elephants in the room. It seems that we are also becoming more hateful, more polarized, and colder as our leaders make affairs seem common, and turn the other way to climate change, and our warming weather. We have turned back time in many ways to push us back for trans rights, and walls are attempting to be built to divide us from our immigrants. We are becoming more and more isolated within our phones, within the rigor of demands from our academics to our jobs. It is hard to trust others, and we close our hearts more and more each day in frustration and hate-speech towards ourselves subconsciously. I can feel somber emotions seep into my core, and I don't know if it is my empathic feeling the sorrow of war continuing for generations, I can feel the violent hearts, I can feel the breakups, I can feel the fading friendships, and frustrations. People are feeling deep despair, and it has been ongoing for the past two years under the Trump administration.
