There are three weeks left in 2017 (finally, gahdamn) and I can’t wait for a fresh start in the new year. Without rushing too much through the final days of 2017, I’ve created a list of activities I want to attend and accomplish before the end of the year. I encourage you all to reflect on what you’ve experienced throughout the past 12 months and finally attempt to tick off those last few events on your to-do list. Whether it’s spending more time with loved ones, actually going to the gym, taking that risk you’ve been too scared to do or experiencing the holidays in a new light, just go for it. Once you’re pau, bring on 2018!
