Woo! What a year.

2016 was a lot of things, but overall I think it was a pretty good year. It’s all perspective anyway.

I try to make a list of New Year Resolutions each year, but I haven’t really thought about it until now, so before I do let’s go over the goals I set last time (damn that was 2014):

  • Get a full time dev job or go back to school full time.
  • Move closer to my destination (geographically).
  • Wake up earlier (6:00 am).
  • Exercise more often or go to the gym.
  • Cut my expenses by a third.

Nice. Still don’t really wake up that early but I would say I’m more of a morning person now. I just like to sleep in a lot.

Here’s a list of things I wanna do for 2017!

  • Start/Make/Finish my website
  • Get all A’s
  • Read at least ten books
  • Land a Tre flip
  • 50-50 grind
  • Nose manual
  • Kickflip a gap/down a stair
  • Travel somewhere out of state
  • Start a band
  • Make some form of passive/side income

That sounds good for now. I’m pretty excited for this year honestly! I realized that for all the ups and especially all the downs of 2016, I think it’ll be easy to make 2017 an even better year.

Happy New Year!
