I hated 2017, but at the same time a lot has changed, in me and in the world? and there were some good things. What do you think?
I think 2016 was my least favourite year. I was pretty lonely. This year I'm back on Skyblock, I've got my HS diploma, my internet speed has increased by 40x, I've got quail, I'm about to get two finches and a budgie, I've got a vague outline of what I want to do with my life, and I've found things that I genuinely enjoy. Last year I looked outside and saw weather that was too hot, too cold, an outside world that annoyed and bored me. I looked at the future and saw more assignments, homework, chores. Now I look outside and see the golden summer grass and the winding eucalypts, the birds that flit through the garden, the dark blue sky's infinite variations. I look ahead of me and see opportunities to do what I love and enjoy. In other words, an optimistic perspective has changed the way I look at my life and everything around me. I let myself be miserable last year. And so, from my now more optimistic viewpoint: In a broader perspective, this year gay marriage has been legalised in Australia, Trump is one year closer to the end of his term, Tim Tams have been brought to America, a beautiful eclipse was seen over a large portion of the world, two neutron stars collided making way for gravitational wave astronomy: a way to measure the rate of the universe's expansion and understand where our heavier metals came from, and research is being done into artificial wombs to help bring premature infants to term. I won't trivialise the tragedies that happened this year, but I do think 2017 was the year of focussing on tragedies. I've listed all these great things because many of them have already been forgotten or overlooked. There will always be positive things if you look for them, just like there will always be tragedies. I'm not trying to offend anyone who's had a bad year or thinks that others have. I've just personally seen a good one. Plus, I think it was especially bad for America. Sorry, America. At least you have Tim Tams now.
2017 was half bad and half good for meh irl. And hey Im glad im still here and we are entering 2018 soon hopefully
I think 2017 will be better than 2018 for me. Next year I'm doing an endless amount of exams, finishing high school and getting a job. All of which I'm not prepared for.
2017 was pretty good i blew my nose more often therefore increasing the quality of my breathing. i also drank more water than in 2016 therefore decreasing my risk for kidney disease. new year's resolutions include flossing my teeth more and also learning to love myself
I would say 2018 would be so much better for me. 2017 and 2016, were horrible. Crutches in school, just no. I had to have surgery on my feet, because I used to be flat-footed. The surgery was simple: a screw was placed in between my ankle and some other bone(Barely paid attention to what my doctor was saying). And, flat-footed means I had no arch, and if I continued to have no arch, it would leave to several complications when I got older. So, I had crutches in my 7th and 8th grade of middle school. 7th was okay, 9 weeks in crutches. I got my left foot done that year. 8th grade, heh... I got surgery during my summer break. When school started, I was still in crutches. During the second week of school, it was pouring rain outside, and the halls where you’re supposed to walk are open. Water and crutches do NOT mix. So when I was heading to my 5th period, I felt my left crutch give out on me. I fell, and the screw on my right foot popped out of place. (No, no blood. Just popped out of in between the bones, and started to penetrate the surrounding tissues) But the mystery is, it felt like someone purposely pushed my crutch, and not the water. So I had to get another surgery, and to say I missed the whole 3rd week of school. I’m really hoping my 2018 will be much better than the last two years, and no more surgery. I’ve had too many surgeries. But yea that was my 2016 & 2017.
Honestly I predict 2018 will be a good year for me because I'll be getting my HS diplomia and will be going to a 4 year college, which not much do, so that's nice. 2016 was good, but not as great as 2015.
I liked 2017 as it brought me awesome grades, and that's when I realised I like Biology. 2018 will be a kind of hard, because of school, but however I'll get to meet Laini (and throw her phone in ketchup) in real life and go to London!! C:
Some time in July (shame, because I wanted to see snow for the first time in my life ;-; ) We're going to Wales too.
I had so many ups and downs it's unreal. This year has been probably the best school year I've had, not only making a lot more friends, but my overall grades went up a lot mainly in History and Maths. I honestly hope 2018 will be a lot better and there will be a lot more ups instead of downs. I hope everyone has a happy new year
