Goodbye '16, Hello '17

  

 

 

 

 When I look back on 2016, it feels like a blink but a lifetime all in one. It's gone so quickly that I find it hard to believe that it really is coming to an end. It's definitely been a whirlwind of a year with a lot happening and changing. 

I turned 18 at the beginning of the year (I quite literally mean the beginning, the 3rd)! When I think back to that, it does feel like almost a year ago, yet it doesn't at the same time. If that makes any sense at all!? 

I took some big exams, which I'm glad are over and done with, I will admit! I travelled to some beautiful places and took the leap of going away to university which has to lead me to meeting some people I honestly think I will be friends with for many years to come. And I look forward to making many more memories with them.

We can't forget, of course, that a mere 7 months ago all of this started- how crazy is that! It amazes me how much it's grown in such a short amount of time. I'm so excited about what's to come in the new year and I so glad you're all coming on this journey with me. 

We also can't forget the many who will not be welcoming in the new year with us, I think it's safe to say that this year has been particularly bad in that sense. 

But, on the outlook, 2017 promises to be a very exciting year with many exciting adventures. I hope it is for you too. 

So I think all that is left to say is, goodbye 2016. Welcome, 2017- Happy New Year! 

Lots of love,
