I started off this article in 2023.. clearly being a writer wasn’t my top priority, but as I was reading this I felt that I wanted to share.

2023:

“How am I going to make the most out of my 2023? Memories.

This last year has been a great year for me, academically. However, I spent so much of my time studying and trying to set myself up for success that I neglected my well-being and didn’t let myself live. I want to spend this year working on forming relationships with others and making them memorable. I also want to repair current relationships that I might’ve neglected during the past year.

My biggest piece of advice is to just try something new. So I will be taking my own advice and just try to see what’s possible.”

Did I achieve the whole “memories” concept. I would say so. Although, this semester I really did spend a lot of time worrying and studying, focusing mainly on my academics. However, I will say that I did spend time trying to repair and build relationships. My newest goal is to spend time with myself as I have always thought of others, or characteristics to work on so that others can appreciate me more. I would like to start learning more about myself and doing things for the sake of myself.

I want to understand the hobbies I have and want to cherish. I always say I like reading, running, and watching movies.

People always say that you should heal yourself before jumping into the next relationship? What does healing mean and isn’t that something one can work on forever? What does one do to heal if there is no “right” way.

Most days I just feel lost and confused. As a college student it is easy to fall into a routine and do that for four years. The tricky part happens when there’s a break, especially one as long as Winter. During this month and a half, what shall I do?
