2018

As I reflect back on the year I've had, I feel lucky to have had a year full of success and growth. I started off last year puking my guts into a toilet bowl after drinking too much, but was surrounded by amazing friends on a small island in Belize--doing what I love: traveling. Then I had the best semester of collegiate golf in my career. I went on to help my team win a conference championship, in which I placed 3rd individually. Then I managed to keep my 4.0 GPA intact while finishing up my first year of graduate school. I then was given the opportunity to live and work in Maine which clearly changed my life and perspective on a lot of things. In August, I started my last year of graduate school and again managed to keep my 4.0 GPA. I am no longer playing golf but am the graduate assistant for the golf team (which means I get to coach and have my school paid for! Win-win). I managed to find a roommate who I get along with, and we both signed up for kickboxing (to attempt to get into better shape). I then decided to hike the PCT in 2018 once I graduate. Oh, and my brother got married!

To say this year has been great, is really an understatement. I've made so many new friends who I absolutely adore, I've been able to travel, and I've been able to be successful in the classroom. I finally feel like everything is falling into place. While 2017 hasn't been perfect, I've come to really appreciate it for what it is. I'm incredibly fortunate for the people in my life, and I'm so excited to see what 2018 has to offer! It's going to be a huge year for change, and while I'm scared, I'm also ready to face any challenges and changes that come my way.

Loose Goals for 2018:
  • Finish my graduate degree in May with a 4.0 GPA
  • Hike the PCT-think more about my future
  • Continue to get in shape for the police academy
  • Apply for the police academy 
  • Continue to work on myself
  • Care less about what others think/expect from me
  • Keep my blog up
Happy New Year everyone!

Connections

We live in a world that we share with 7.53 billion people.  By my estimation...…… that's a shit ton. Yet, I find that this world has proven to be smaller than we think.  It's all about our connections. Connections to each other, to businesses, to that exciting new technology. Every connection that we develop, makes this big old world, just a little bit smaller.  To that point, reputation is what makes or breaks you. Let's be honest, we aren't going to introduce one friend to another friend if they're a shitty friend. We aren't going to boast about our co-worker to someone if they're a shitty co-worker. Let's go even a step further and say, we aren't going to introduce our single friends to another potential single friend, if they're shitty at relationships. Now, I'm not saying that we should fabricate who we are. I'm not saying that at all. But, we live in a technologically savvy society where everyone can see what we...
