What were you able to take away from 2016? Were you able to stumble upon an epiphany on how you wish to live your life? Did you learn something in school that completely changed your outlook on things? Did you learn to take more chances, and regret less? Or did you not come to a realization that made you want to alter something about the way you live your life?
Yes, I know that that is a lot to absorb. It might take you a hot second to think about each and every one of them. For some of you, 2016 might not have been a very influential or “life changing” year. For others, 2016 may have been a tremendously life altering year of learning who you were, and what you want from life.
For me personally, 2016 was a year of learning. Okay yes I know, each and every year since before I can even remember I have been in school learning, but I am talking about learning more than math and science, but about myself. A lot of the time we, as students, are so constantly wrapped up in learning through the memorization of facts, and equations that we forget to take time to learn about ourselves. As a college freshman, this past year was able to shape me in ways a year of high school never could have.
As we go through life we learn through a series of lessons, and not just the lessons we are taught in school. With each experience, whether it is positive or negative, we are able to take something away from it. Life is a learning experience, and we are able to learn through the mistakes we make. College is your time for personal growth and self development, let no lesson go unrecognized. So embrace each year of your life, make mistakes, take chances, and learn from everything. The best life lessons aren’t always learned in a classroom.
