With semesters and school holidays dividing my years in segments, life was more predictable in a sense that my yearly goals consisted of things like "pass this class" "get this grade" or "travel here during this holiday." 2017 is the first time my year and my plans weren't structured around school or graduating, and accordingly so, despite the heartache and hurdles that welcomed me, I'm so glad to say I'm ending the year a different and happier person than when it began.
