I had a very relaxing winter break this year. After the holidays, my family went to southern California to visit family and celebrate the new year. And although I was finalizing my final college applications, it was still very nice. Plus, I have never been more relieved than when I submitted my last application and enjoyed the final week of break immensely.
In 2018, my personal goal is to be more positive in general. It was a rough year but there are (hopefully) many things in life to look forward to, both personally and in the world. I realize that my general pessimism will only add to the negativity already so prevalent in our world. This year will hold many big milestones in my life so looking towards those as achievements will help bring more positivity into my life. While realistically, I will probably never be a true optimist in life, I can definitely attempt to be happier in general. Environmentally, I have also set a goal to cut back on my meat consumption and eat meat only twice a week at the most. Culturally, my family eats a lot of meat, but I think that cutting back is a small choice that can make a relatively large impact on my own footprint. For the world, I hope that more people begin to realize the severity of environmental issues and take more action. If the current administration is unable to do so, I hope that individuals will take initiative and create change. I sincerely hope and truly believe that 2018 will be better than 2017. There are many moments I have to look forward to (graduation, my 18th birthday, starting college, etc.) that are worth looking forward to in a positive light.
