2018 Year and Resolutions!
2017 was the worst year of my life, but I'm still alive and I'm here and that's something I couldn't see a few months ago. I cried a lot about many things in my personal and academic life. In both worlds, I lost everything and for a while, I didn't feel like I had any grounds to walk on. I just felt so up in the air, not knowing what I wanted, who was going to be by my side, who I could trust, where I wanted to go... But, slowly, I'm trying to find my own way with new people and new experiences. I recognize that I am not the same person from January 2016. Too many things have changed but at the same time, and as sad all the things that happened to me this year, I can say that I am better off.
I changed my major from Biochem and Biomolecular to Economics because unlike science, I do enjoy learning about consumer tendencies as well as other stuff that might bore people like statistics. Amongst other things, I'm also minoring in something that's not really related to anything, which is Asian American studies, though I might switch and minor in Political Science. Who knows.
But with that, in a way, despite feeling sad about job prospects and what I want to do professionally (right now, accountantcy or, if I go to graduate school, then I'll most likely try and teach), there are things I wanted to do back in 2015 but couldn't, which is self-publish Not Intended.
I know I've done all the work before, but I left it all when I went to college and I just never felt the same about publishing afterwards out of guilt that I was wasting my time despite how unbearably unhappy I was doing science. However, now, it's a bit different. I want to do it again, because I have that same burning feeling inside to WANT to see and feel this book physically.
My friend and I were also joking about creating a poetry book and eventually, yesterday, we started a google document and wrote 17 weird poems. Since he works at a library, we're also planning on leaving some there for fun. We're not doing this seriously, but it's the thought of making something physical that has both of us hyped that we're willing to spend time and money to illustrate and print something we began as a joke.
My New Years resolutions are (as of right now)
- learn korean (at least to read it)
- be more patient, be more understanding (this doesn't apply to that fandom tho xoxo)
- publish a thing
I know I did polls and google forms back in 2015, but I'm ready to do it again and work on a plan with prices and shipping costs. Of course, I'll keep in mind the cost of shipping for group orders since people have asked and approached me about it before. I'll try to keep everything reasonable, but Not Intended is a fat bitch (530 pages) so we'll see.
I also know you guys might be tired or me constantly saying I'm going to do something, but I don't, but I'm trying OTL. It's hard to juggle things but 2018 will be a productive year (i scream into the void)
I can't thank you all enough for what you've given me this year from the support. You've all been my shoulder to cry on and you've all lended me your personal accounts to message you in case I needed mental help and I am so grateful. I am so sorry if I have ever inconvenienced anyone, but words will never be able to describe how many times you've all saved my life.
Thank you for reading this! I'll keep you all update on all platforms, even my wattpad and twitter (@exolefirstclass / @exobubz_ )
Happy shipping!
