MMXIII

Okay, so I know I haven't blogged in awhile (see my commitment to a real blog has failed many, many times) and this typical New Years post is almost 2 weeks late, but better late than never right? 

I feel like this year is going to be different. I feel myself starting to change. I've been more talkative with people I'm not extremely close with, I've grown real disgusted with fast food, and all I think about it getting fit. So as you can see those three things are some things I want to hit on this year to make myself a better person. I want to make a change; I will make a change. 

2012 wasn't so bad of a year; it gave me the longest relationship I've ever been in (which is now one year and 10 days in the making ;] ) and it proved to be one of the hardest fall's of my life. I had so much new adjusting to do with starting college, moving into the dorms, dealing with a roommate, and meeting NEW people. I mean, almost everyone I knew prior to school I had known for 10+ to at least 3+ years. & Let me tell you, I am NOT the best at meeting new people and making friends. 

Though, 2013 is a new year. I'm determined to never have another semester like my first semester of college. I was miserable and sad. That is NOT how it is supposed to be. So this year (and the coming years) I vow to make the absolute best of it. I need to let go of all these insecurities I have which is probably the main reason nobody talks to me, but hopefully that all will change! 

I know a lot of people hate the fact that others use a new year as an excuse to change themselves, but I personally think it's a great starting-off-point. I'm using it as a diving board and I don't believe others should be discouraged to do so.  

Here's to a year of bettering yourself, for YOU.
