2016 Resolutions

This year I really want to change. I want to become more positive and outgoing. I also want to be more organized and heathy.

I wanted to make something that I could see everyday that encouraged me every morning. I decided to make a board of my goals for the semester.

When I sat down to write my goals I decided I want a combination on things to achieve and things to think about. I wanted physical goals to obtain such as getting a 4.0 or drinking more water. But I also wanted things that said "be more inspiring" and "do more reading".  I complied everything that I wanted and made a Word document that I will print out large and hang in dorm room.

This is my finished product!

Traveling Turtle: Florida

Over winter break I have the opportunity to travel to my aunt's lake house in Florida. I left on Monday, December 28th and cam back on Friday, January 1st.

Tuesday, December 29

Four of my little cousins were also staying at the house with us. So, we went to LEGOLAND. It is about 30 minutes from my aunt's house. I will most likely never go back there as it was strictly made for children ages 5-12. The lines for rides were long and not worth waiting for. Although, there was one portion of the park I really enjoyed. Major cities in the US were made from Legos. It was cool to walk around and see all the different cites from a Lego point of view.

We just hung around the house and went kayaking on the lake.

Thursday, December 31st - New Year's Eve

We went to Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park and Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. Homosassa is a manatee refuge spring. There are three manatees that stay at the park year round. The park was beautiful! The water is super clear and super blue!

After we went to Weeki Wachee State Park. We saw an underwater mermaid show which was really cool! We swam in the spring, which stays at a constant 74 degrees. It felt freezing when I first got in but my body got used to it! Overall, it was beautiful!

Friday, January 1st - New Year's Day!

We started our 9 hour drive back home. We stopped at underground Devil's Den Springs. We are planning a trip to go diving there and wanted to check it out.

The Start of Something Great (Hopefully)

One of my 2016 New Years Resolutions is to document my life more. I want to do this by taking more pictures of my adventures and journaling them as I go. Then an idea came to me! I can combine both of those by starting a blog. I have done one other blog in the past in high school. I posted about the football games and school dances I attended. But I slowly faded out of updating it.

I am not certain what this blog will become but I hope it will be something great! I plan to post my daily life stories and adventures.
