#22 Brain Dump.

Week 22: Brain dump; what’s on your mind right now?

I find it extremely fitting that this post comes on the last day of 2016; how perfect is that timing?! I thought I would address today's post as more of a longer one with sections on a few aspects on my life. Some have comparisions of 2016 and where I'd like them to go in 2017, others are just a collection of thoughts. 

I hope you've all had an incredible holiday season, wonderful 2016 and are ready for an even better 2017. Much love!
Blog
In 2017, a lot more focus is going to go into my work. I aim to have achieved a lot of goals that I had set myself last year by the end of this year that weren't acheived due to unversity (and other) priorities. I had written a list of six or so things that I wanted completed by December 31st, 2016 that haven't even been started. I'm a little disappointed in myself for that, but ahh well new year, new me right?! I've been thinking about going solo with my blog (as in not attached to an agency) for a while now, and that will allow me to take it in my own direction and not get caught up in the fame of blogging. In saying that, I turned down quite a few blogging events throughout 2016 that I regret doing and aim to attend a lot more through 2017. Let's see where this year takes us and hopefully you all continue to love it!! I've started an Instagram (@conquerwithcoffee) and have so far managed to post quite regularly - so let's see if I can stick with that... For now, I'm going to stick to the Monday, Thursday & Saturday uploads because you guys seem to love those dates and are familiar with them - but if I change anything, I promise to let y'all know!!

University 
I need a break. I've pushed myself way too hard over the past two years (2016 in particular) and I just feel totally burnt out. I'm way ahead of my scheduled graduation date (in terms of class credits and stuff) so I'm taking off this first semester to (as above) focus on my blog and direction I want to take it.

Boys 
Screw boys. Take that metaphorically or literally, I don't mind... But I'm taking 2017 (or at least the first few months) to focus on myself and where I want to be in life without having to think about somebody else (that sounds incredibly self-centred but I'll explain in someday soon).

Friends
As I've mentioned a few times, 2017 is my year for me. That means, cutting the bullshit people out of my life that provide nothing but anxiety, stress and annoyance. This doesn't mean I'm going to be rude and hateful toward people who annoy me, but I am going to strive to prove to myself that I deserve to be surrounded by people who are loving, caring and fun! People that build me up, instead of pulling me down.

Anything else
Morgan is coming over (from Seattle) to live with my for a little bit, which (man, oh man) am I sooooooo excited for!!! I'm pretty sure everyone I've met in the past month or so knows that she is coming over here and I'm so excited to not only show her around this gorgeous country, but just to have my bestestest, most amazing sister ever living with me!!
