HAPPY (almost) NEW YEAR!! Only hours now until it's officially officially 2018. How crazy is that?! So much is going to be happening in my world in 2018, but hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Let's look back on 2017 and all the highs of the year! Yes okay, there were highs and lows, but right now we are just going to focus on the highest of highs! Let's get into it :)
After ringing in the new year at a questionably fun party in the middle of nowhere Virginia with my friends, the celebration didn't really start until I shortly there after went back to Sunny Savannah to start my second quarter of my freshman year. It was a good quarter! I made lots of friends, memories, had some stellar classes, and did lots of fun photoshoots. Overall it was a great time.
I marched in the Woman's March! Well in Savannah, I WISH I could have gone to Washington, but alas... The March on Savannah was honestly so moving and special though. I am SO glad I marched. I've honestly gone to as many protests and marches that I could have in Savannah and it is seriously so important y'all, let your voices be heard in 2018!!
I turned nineteen! Which was cool I guess! One more spin around the sun for me! Woohoo! (Can you believe I'll be 20 this year though?! Now that's wild to me!)
I started getting more involved in photoshoots and collaborative projects with other students around SCAD. Pretty nifty! I got t to start collecting some model shots for a portfolio!
Ally came and visited me in Savannah for the first time and we had an absolute BLAST! I'm so BEYOND lucky to have a best friend as special and fun as Ally. Seriously y'all, you should be jealous.
I created a BUNCH of cool things in my classes freshman year. Things that I was and still am super proud of! One of my favorite things about SCAD is that 99% of the time projects that I do are projects that I absolutely LOVE! So to SCAD, thanks for keeping me active and constantly creating fun exciting things.
I had the most fun during our annual family beach trip to Nags Head, North Carolina. Every year everyone gets together and we have the BEST time ever. I can't wait to see what's in store for this years beach week... Shenanigans for SURE
Towards the end of the summer I quit my job, hopped on a bus and went to New York City!! Best decision ever. No joke this was the best week of my life.
Flash forward to September! I headed back to school with my expectations VERY low. Let's just say the end of Freshman year was not too great, so naturally, I was nervous to start a new year. BUT boy was I wrong. I had the BEST quarter yet!! I made my now best friends, and just had so SO much fun this past quarter, I can't imagine myself at any other school. I'm exactly where I need to be!
Oh yeah! I totally fell in love with a new guy this year and like a lot of the other things in this post, I seriously could not be happier!! We've been dating for four months now and every day is so much fun when I'm by Matt's side. (heheh cheesy but TRUE)
I traveled to Los Angeles, California for my first ever and THE first ever Teen Vogue Summit! I met the most inspired, passionate, supportive girls and femmes and am so excited to see what we all do to create, innovate and mack change in this world! Watch out 2018, we're coming for you!
After a great Christmas the celebration wasn't over yet... My blog turned SIX!! This was huge for me y'all. I'm so proud of all that I've done and what had come from All Those Little Things. It makes me SO happy to be able to bring readers like YOU inspiration, joy, advice or whatever every day. Seriously you guys, I am so so happy, I love what I do.
On that note, I cannot wait for another year of all this. Blogging, adventuring, creating, innovating, exploring and SO MUCH MORE! Thanks for sticking with me.
See ya next year ;) xo, O

New Year, Same Me.... Just a Little Bit Better..
Saturday, January 7, 2017
Obviously all over the blogosphere lately is nothing but "new year new me" junk, people celebrating the new year sharing their resolutions and all that. If I'm totally honest though, some of the lists I came across left me sort of unsettled. They'd say things like, "eat less", "work out every single day, no exceptions", "only dress your best at all times", harsh things that I feel like if broken, the writer would beat themselves up over... I don't know, maybe I'm just following the wrong people, but I feel like resolutions shouldn't be about what not to do, and being the best no matter what. It should be in ways to positively better yourself, and hey, if you forget, or slip up every now and then thats okayyyy. No more resolutions that you or anyone else will be upset by you not accomplishing every time. Resolutions are made by you for you to set a guideline for being better and happier in your book.
So, naturally, I'd like to share mine :) This year I want to focus on giving back, looking ahead and starting over. So 2017 is a clean slate, and I'm confident if I generally follow my resolutions, it will be fabulous!
Here we go:
Practice patience, and learn to fully communicate better
This is something I've never been very good at. But this is a year for starting fresh, and I plan to apply this resolution in everything I do. Whether it is in my workspace during a stressful moment, in the middle of an argument with a friend or significant other, or honestly, behind the wheel, lol I like to speed... Patience is key and communication is what resolves almost everything.
Do something everyday that fuels my passions
Whether it's blogging, sketching clothes, writing, or catching up on the latest fashion news, I never want to stop doing what I love as I work towards my future pursuing fashion.
Stop looking in the mirror and being unhappy with what I see
No more trying on a zillion outfits and being unhappy, no more eating a full meal and being all, "ugh I'm so bloated", no more just waking up and saying, "oh yuck I look disgusting." No matter what the time or day, know that what I see is what I get and every inch of that is crazy beautiful. People don't even notice it either, people communicate through personalities, not though insecurities.
Practice self love and ditch self doubt
There honestly isn't any time or energy for that this year. I know I am one heck of an incredible woman, and that won't ever change. Hating on myself isn't even worth it. There are so many other things that I could do in all the time wasted spent on thinking I'm not good enough or can't do it, because I am and I can, I just have to believe in myself and try, and then and only then will I succeed.
Try to walk 45 minutes in the sunshine everyday possible
I tried not to have too many physical things on my list, but honestly I do not work out one bit, and getting outside, and getting the sunshine in my veins for at least 45 minutes when possible is proven to increase happiness. And what's better than increased happiness? Maybe a bowl of Lucky Charms, my best friends and a pillow fort... but besides that, not much.
Honestly complement as many people as possible everyday
Because everyone deserves an unexpected little bit of joy, and to know just how awesome they are.
Finally watch Inception in it's entirety
I think I've started it about five times, and I have NEVER finished. I don't even know what the plot is about, all I know is the girl from Juno is in it, someone walks up some stairs that I think are infinite, and Leonardo DiCaprio forgets to tell his kids he loves them...? Maybe? It's 2017, it's about time to figure this whole thing out.
Strengthen all relationships and know that no one is trying to tear me down, let only those into my life who will support and lift me up as I grow.
I plan to surround myself with those who love me. There is no point in stressing over people who make you feel insecure, unhappy, or unneeded. It's just not worth it! But right now I have a fantastic support system, and my main goal is to continue to strengthen those relationships and practice team work, knowing that most everyone is on my side.
And that's all folks!! I hope you enjoyed reading my resolutions, hopefully they will inspire some of you to write a list of your own, or maybe you related to some of them and have added them to your list :) Sending all my new year love, sleep well babes, hope you had a restful and relaxing weekend :) Here's to another fantastic year! xo
