As I mentioned in my letter to 2022, I felt a little overwhelmed at the start of the year trying to decide what I want out of my 2023. I’ve spent the last several weeks thinking about it, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I like spending some of January planning out my new year—as opposed to trying to have it all figured out in December. I’ve found that waiting to set my goals until the middle of the month actually eliminated some of the unhealthy expectations and resolutions I might have otherwise set on January 1st… I know I can’t hope to achieve any “do this every day” goals when January is already almost over, ha!

I always used to fantasize in college about the days when I wouldn’t have homework anymore and would be able to go do fun things after work.

I know everyone says the time is flying by, but really… does it seem like it’s going faster than usual?! Even though I’ve had an insanely busy year (with study abroad, my brother’s wedding, a trip to the East Coast, moving back to Colorado, graduating college, starting my first job, and a handful of weekend trips), it seems like everyone’s year is going by just as quickly as mine. What is the deal?? It makes me sad to think the holiday season will come and go before we even realize it… Please someone make the months slow down.  Continue reading “October 2022 Month in Review”
