Reflecting on 2016
I'm reflecting on 2016 today. As you read, enjoy some of my favorite photos from this year.
2016 was a crazy year for the world. There were multiple times that I couldn't believe what was going on in the world. For me personally, 2016 was a year of growth. I grew in my self-confidence, in my faith, in relationships, and just all around in my life. I learned so much about life and myself. It was a good year.
I know not everyone believes in God, but I do, so my faith is important to me. My faith and relationship with Jesus is stronger than ever. I prayed daily and picked up my Bible more than I ever have. I realized that for me, my relationship with God is the most important thing. I stopped trying to control my life and let Him guide me.
I developed some of the most meaningful relationships I've ever had outside of family and my boyfriend, David. Most of my friendships have started from my sorority and I love that. I never thought I would be a Big (a Big is like a mentor to a younger sister), but I did and my Little is now one of my best friends who I can talk to about anything with no judgment. Ever. Some of my best friends are also my sorority sisters and it is amazing. I can be authentic and never be judged.
I found out how to love myself. I'm working on losing some weight and making some lifestyle choices for myself, but I love who I am. I really learned to embrace every part of me. I also took chances and believed in myself. I went out of my comfort zone and it has been so rewarding.
2017 holds the last two semesters I have in college. By the end of it, I will be a college graduate and I can't believe it. Time really does fly when you're having fun. I'm excited for what 2017 has to offer and I am so ready to keep living life. 2017, please be good to be.

Amanda
