Ac-cen-tu-ate the positive
Because it's too easy to pick out all the bad things and feel bad, and FUCK THAT.
GOOD 2016 THINGS:
-I paid off my student debt from undergrad and enjoyed a solid six months of being in the black
-I accepted my offer to Current University, committed to law school and made all my financial arrangements, so I haven't had to worry about money since September (Money is currently a problem for Future Me)
-I found a way to quit a job I didn't enjoy doing anymore
-I got to move to a new city and I really like living here, and aside from the drama of my stupid ceiling (which no longer leaks!) I lucked out on finding my new apartment
-Moving went very smoothly and was fairly cheap
-I've managed to maintain contact with some friends from the last city in the new one, which is not a thing that happens as often as I'd like when I pick up and move
-I've formed a bunch of new friendships and I am glad I know these people
-I own Alien on bluray now (this is a big deal)
-I took responsibility for my health issues and sought treatment like a fucking adult and that has gone pretty well
-I tried a realistic approach to the challenges of going back to school full-time and I dealt pretty well with the stress, and learned what to work on for next term
-I got involved with extracurricular things at school--I BECAME A JOINER!--and that's helped me feel more engaged there, which is a great contrast to Past Me, who had to focus a lot more on side hustles for extra money as a student
-I did a pretty good job of keeping up with housework and other boring adult stuff (and eating regularly!) even when I was stressed out by things
-I took up curling
-Turns out I'm pretty good at law school, which is a huge fucking relief
Come at me, new year. I'll fight.
