My Time

I feel as though 2016 taught me and many others extremely valuable lessons that will carry into this year. There have been many positives but it just seems that there are too many negatives lingering which outshine the good that actually happened. However, now that I am settled in university and have met some great people, I am ecstatic at the endless opportunities that await this year.

I won’t bore you and mention what went wrong or right last year as I want this blog to be positive and actually highlight what possibilities could occur this year. Let’s be honest, 2016 wasn’t the best year for most, from my perspective, there have been some great memories that I will never forget. Unfortunately, there are memories that I also will never forget for the wrong reasons. But that’s life and I now realise that you have to just put things in the past and move on, life is too short.

Now, for 2017, I think the one main objective I am going to set is to concentrate on myself and my goals. The previous two years have been mentally draining for me as many problems arose that I couldn’t escape from. However, I now firmly believe my focus is on myself and what I want to achieve. Yes, that may sound arrogant but I just think it has to be done. Obviously, I won’t exclude people out or become less sociable, in actual fact with my course being Journalism it has enabled me to become more confident and communicate more effectively with others. But, I intend to not burden myself with needless situations that don’t benefit me.

So, what am I looking forward to for this upcoming year and what is going to motivate me? Another lads holiday is on the cards and I can’t wait for that, let’s just hope the place we go to we aren’t the only English there. Also, around summer I will have completed my first year at university with only two years remaining so I ensure to make the most of every opportunity available to me. What is going to motivate me, well that’s easy… continuing to listen to Fetty Wap.

All jokes aside, music has honestly helped me through so many struggles throughout previous years and it certainly helped cure the depression I endured. Also, the gym, the grind doesn’t stop. Obviously, I’m joking, but the gym also helped take my mind off things and I plan on being better than before. These two have been essential in my life for a while now and I don’t see any reason to exclude them. I also intend to get back on the grass track bike and reignite that thrill that I have missed, the adrenaline rush I get from it is indescribable and something I am thoroughly looking forward to in the summer.

Nonetheless, I firmly believe that I am going to make 2017 the best year yet. I am not going to let negativity bring me down. I hope you reading this ensure you set yourself goals no matter how small or meaningless they may seem. If you 100% believe that you can do something, then you will. Throughout my years, I have been a pessimist and realist, now I am going to give optimism a chance and already I can see it is working. So as Shia Lebeouf said, “just do it!”.
