It’s the end of year and it’s
time to break out all those clichés. At midnight we’ll all make resolutions we
won’t keep and as the fireworks light up the sky we’ll smile with those
thoughts of a better change.
I don’t tend to make resolutions
as I never keep them; it’s that simple. Every year I tell myself to just do
what makes me happy, and in 2012, that’s what I’ve been. There have been
weddings and celebrations and road trips, and there have been bad habits and late
nights, but no matter what; I’ve been happy.
This next year for me will be one
of great size. Half way through the year I graduate and am suddenly out on the
world on my own, having to fend for myself. University has been my constant for
two and a half years and suddenly the idea of not having a security or not
seeing the people I love every day is scary. With 6 months left, it really is
the time to make the most of it and spend that time working hard, but getting
to do all the things that being at university allows me.
It’s
also time to close a few chapters; be that with people, or places, or old
habits. There are these things in my life that aren’t good for me, and I just
don’t want around anymore. And to those things, I say ‘goodbye’. I’m aware of
the heavy use of cliché in this entry, but it’s the end of the year. You can
forgive me.
So to
anyone reading, may your 2013 be as great as my 2012 was. Happy New Year.
