Many people spend New Years Eve binge drinking with a few close friends and a number of people who they hate bitching and whining about everything from the past twelve months. I’ve heard it all-not having a boyfriend or girlfriend, not doing well in school, playing things “too” safe and not accomplishing their last New Years resolution. What gets me the most is when people blame their bad year on luck, “luck wasn’t on my side this year.” Many people my age seem to think their future is already laid out for them and they are just along for the ride. I feel sorry for these people, I pitty them for not taking chances, for not living. There are hundreds of thousands of people waiting for their time to come, waiting for life to happen. These people will relive the same exact uneventful year one after another. They’ll complain about how the past year was no different then the year before yet they’ll to nothing to ensure that this year is any different. If you are reading this and realize you are one of those people make a promise to yourself to make 2012 unlike any other. Take chances, meet new people. Try things you’d never before think of. Kiss a stranger, audition for a movie, do anything and everything. 

This year my resolution is to not only better myself but to be fearless, be spontaneous. We all need to let go of our fears, let go of our past and focus on the future. Future friends, future careers and future loves.
