Christmas Eve

I hope all of you are having a wonderful holiday season. It seems to be flying by. Isn't that strange? As we get older, the time just zooms right past us without even a second glance. It's kind of a bitter sweet thought. We have less time, but we are given the chance to make the most of it.

Update time!
I just finished my first semester as a high school senior. It was grueling. But I've been told next semester will be easier. Hopefully. My boyfriend got accepted to Ohio University. Not to be confused with Ohio STATE University. Go Bobcats! I got him the greatest Christmas present ever, it's going to blow all my other gifts out of the water, that's for sure. I'm almost eighteen. That's terrifying. My parents are totally fine with it, and I'm the one freaking out. Journalism hasn't gotten any easier. I recently discovered the greatest friend ever. You know, one of those friends you just click with and it's like "hey where have you been this whole time?" Yeah...anyway, who's ready for another life lesson?

As we draw closer to the new year, people start those terrible and unattainable "New Year's Resolutions". What a complete waste of time. We, as humans, like to think that we can better ourselves in the blink of an eye because we are "evolved". HA! We set these impossible standards for ourselves and the people around us, we lose sight of what should really be important. Sure it would be nice to have a world filled with perfect humans, but that ain't happening anytime soon. Try something new this year. Instead of those typical resolutions: lose ten pounds, save up for a car, fly to the moon...maybe give something else a try. Go for walks after dinner, plant a flower, try a new flavor of soda. Just focus on the little things that can make you happy, not perfect. Now I know this lesson is a bit scatter brained, but focus on the message. We don't need to be perfect to be happy. And for all you single people out there, here's a tip; If you can be happy by yourself and with yourself, you will attract another happy person. And that's where it all starts.

Stay happy my friends, and have a happy holidays.
