I am still having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that I am 20. My teenage years are behind me. I've made a lot of great friends and memories. I've traveled a fair amount. I was successful academically, graduated Japanese school, graduated high school, and got into a kick ass college. In college, I'm in a major I love, lead a social enough life, and am on track for a great career path.
I'd like to say that I've lived my life regretlessly so far. But that's not true. I've lost in touch with a lot of great friends. I've missed a lot of academic opportunities, relationship opportunities, and I've probably missed a lot of opportunities I don't realize I've missed.
People like to make resolutions on new years. I am making resolutions on my birthday.
Here are five.
Travel more.
Plan ahead better.
Reconnect with old friends.
Start investing and saving for later.
Find a girlfriend already, god dammit.
Peace.
