It's Time To Begin, Isn't It?

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.
