A New Year's resolution is a tradition, most common in the Western Hemisphere but also found in the Eastern Hemisphere, in which a person resolves to change an undesired trait or behavior, to accomplish a personal goal or otherwise improve their life. As the year comes to a close we begin to reflect on the things we've experienced over the past 12 months. For me 2018 was filled with a lot of highs, lows, and everything in between. I began the new year hanging out with my childhood friends. It had been almost 5 months since I've seen any of them and it warmed my heart to see them again. Then I flew across the country again and went back home but took a quick pit stop in the mountains to see some snow. A group of my friends and a fellow frat rented a cabin in Big Bear and spent a couple days relaxing, partying, and more partying. As we traveled back to school we took our time and enjoyed golden hour and a trip to a country bar and line danced with some hunnies (hehe). Being back at school was nice. The first couple weeks of the semester are pretty easy which means that there's more times for crazy things like getting a lip tat :) Soon it was time to celebrate Muffins. A national holiday at my school where we wake up at 5am on a Sunday and sip mimosas and stuff our faces with muffins hehe. Everyone wears brunch attire and parties until around 12pm. One of my favorite memories from 2018 came from the month of March when I attended my first rave with my best friends. Up until this point the only EDM music I had really heard was the music that my friends played while we got ready to go out. I didn't really know what to expect but it was probably one of the best music performances I have ever been to. The lights and visuals were amazing and it was almost impossible not to get lost in the lights. I'm not really one for crowds but everyone there was really warm welcoming. I met a lot of different people and exchanged candy bracelets. If you ever have the chance to go to rave I would say go for it! In April I spent my spring break in Lake Havasu Arizona. We stayed at a resort with over a hundred other college students. We went boating, chilled on the lake and watched performances form Madeintyko and Boombox Cartel. It was definitely a week to remember. And soon it was the end of my freshman year and I was saying goodbye to my best friends. I spent the summer in my new home in Arizona and I can admit it was pretty tough. Although I was able to spend more time with my family, I didn't have any friends to hang out with and I was working 35+ hours at a job that I hated. I tried to make the best of it though but this definity was not one of my favorite parts of 2018. Some of my friends visited me for a couple days and that really lifted my spirit. I ended the summer on a high note and traveled back to California to attend a music festival. Although it was very hot, I got to see some of my favorite artist like Louis the Child, Troyboi, and Zeds Dead. And like clockwork and flew to the east coast to spend a couple weeks in my old hometown. I got to vist my friend Haley at college and spent a week at the beach with my guy friends. Then it was time to go back to school for my 2nd year. The beginning was spent tailgating at football games, recruiting girls for my sorority, and going to the beach of course. Later in the semester I got an on campus job, I welcomed my little sorority sisters into my family, celebrated halloween for four days straight (haha), turned 19, and had to say goodbye to one of my best friends and she left to study abroad. 2018 was a very challenging year for me. I struggled with a lot of insecurities and focused a lot of my time on things I couldn't control. It was definitely a year of introspection. Analyzing myself as a person, and my current life, and my future hopes and dreams. There are a lot of things I wish I could have done better but looking back I know they were supposed to happen because I learned from them. I made a list of resolutions that are based on these things so that I can take the things I learned into the new year. Some people think that resolutions are stupid but I see resolutions as a way to improve your year. You take all the things you didn't like about the last year and actively make ways to combat them so that the upcoming year is better 2019 New Years resolutions
