New Year, New Me?

I know it's a bit late (two weeks late, to be exact) to be writing a post about new year's resolutions, so I won't. But recently I watched a YouTube video about taking control of your life and making the most of every opportunity you get and it made me want to put my thoughts down into words. 2015 is the first year in my entire twenty-one years of existing where I honestly haven't got a clue of what is ahead. I went straight from primary school to secondary school, and straight from secondary school to university. After graduating in November, I'm finally at a place where there's no more guaranteed "next step" in life, unless I start making the changes I need to make in order for things to progress any further.
Over the past few months, I've been feeling sorry for myself as I watch my peers post about their amazing jobs while I'm still working at minimum wage in a retail job that I hate. For a whole month or so I completely stopped applying for jobs and even writing on this blog, because every time I thought that something was going somewhere I would get another rejection email that would burst my bubble. But, after watching a very motivational video, I've decided that 2015 will be my year. Yep, I'm two weeks late with the resolutions but I don't care. No matter what comes my way, I'll deal with it. I get 20 rejection emails in a row? Cool. The next one could be someone expressing interest in me. Although it might be very easy to sit and feel sorry for myself because I'm working in a job I'd rather not be in, sulking about it is  l i t e r a l l y  going to get me nowhere.
I've just got to

No, seriously though. 

I don't have a clue of what this year will bring, sure. But, I can try my damned hardest to make sure I don't end this year as unhappy in myself as I did the last. 2015 will be the year of me, and I'm ready for whatever life throws at me.
