2018 has certainly been a year with rough patches, but it hasn't stopped me from succeeding in my classes, creating things, and hanging out with you guys. And to me that kind of makes it a better year for me getting though 2018.

Here's hoping 2019 can be a better year, remember where you begin to start a new. Because the past does not define who you are for the rest of your life, rather they are good or bad memories, a year that's better or worse, a time of happiness or grief, they are all milestones in life that make you who you are and give you the starting point of who you want to be and where you want to be. A new year is around the corner, make the best of it.
