Today is the last day of 2014 and I am afraid that nothing in my life will change for the better—that my bad habits and the parts of myself that I cannot stand will persist. I haven’t made any resolutions. I don’t see the point anymore. I am not excited for the new year at all, but I need a fresh start, a clean slate. The heaviness of 2014 is too much to continue to bear. ♦

this year has flown by and its flown by great. i think not making a goal for myself and just going with the flow is just working for myself so much better than my previous routine. here’s to a happy new year!!!!!

I’m glad I found rookie when I did because it’s definitely going to help me out some through 2015. It’ll be nice to have a community to come to when I need it.

Britney, I seriously feel you on a spiritual level. Thank you, Rookie, for being so refreshingly non-stereotypical and diverse. You’ve helped me a lot this year.

I can’t believe that it’s 2015! Thank you, Rookie, for being so amazing (and all three of these are basically speaking my mind)!
Here’s to many more years of Rookie awesomeness!

I’m so happy that 2014 was the year I found Rookie; you’ve all changed my life for the better! I regret the fact that it took me so long to come across this wonderful place. Thank you.xx

WOW!! Lilly your goals for 2015 were surprisingly similar to mine! I feel so connected to you and I don’t even know you! I am recovering from a fractured hip (also from a soccer accident) and am making 2015 a year of getting back into the swing of running and exercising. I also was just planning out ways to escape my little home town and discover as many new places as possible this year. This is so crazy to find someone who is going through so many of the same things as me!! Thanks for posting this!!

Cheers to 2015! My new years resolutions include making lots of new great friends, less crying, more laughing, making more eye contact and most definitely finding a job I really really like!
