Happy New Year everyone!!!! Did I scare anyone with my subject title? (Yeah I do that a lot, some say I have a dramatic flair) I haven't said much lately in the chat or otherwise but a lot of things have happened for me - good and bad.
I won't discuss the bad because who wants to hear about that anyways right? (If you're curious - 3 deaths in the family in 1 year, 1 family member in a near-death explosion - fabulous right?) On December 16 I graduated from a 4 year university with a Bachelor's in Marketing. So I officially made it!!! Trust me, it's not as easy as some people like to think it but once you walk across that stage and know that its genuine? BEST FEELING.
I know it sounds like I'm bragging but if you guys had any idea of the hell I have been through mentally during the last couple of years you'd know that I deserve to talk about this for a good long time. One thing that had been bothering me was not being able to find a job (originally had been working in retail part-time - which is not where I wanted to spend the rest of my life).
Blessed be the good Lord above, I landed a Digital Marketing job mere weeks before graduation with the start date being January 2 (tomorrow) which is a great way to start the year. I had to put my butt into gear and manage to get a car finally (the retail job didn't exactly pay enough to afford one without struggling) and I must say I am in love with my 2018 Honda Fit. I would have preferred a truck but..soon..SOON.
So the job career (at graduation I learned from the VP of the College of Business that a JOB is a place you cry to when you go into work but a CAREER is a place that you can't wait to go to - a place that you smile when you think about it) requires 40 hours a week - full-time, something I've never actually done because I've been a hard-core full-time student during every semester. The stereotypical 9-5 gig Mon-Fri.
So you will see less of me - but I'm not going anywhere and I'm not going poof because I don't want anyone getting their paws on my horses O^O I'll be here Saturday mornings MAYBE, but I'll still be retaining my role as Records Keeper by updating the race results pages, news and doing my own personal entries on Sundays for sure.
I don't think I'll be able to stay up late much days but I don't think anyone does that here anyway.
Although it's January in RL it's not quite time for the annual sale to come around yet (just 3 more SIM months, don't worry!!).
Thanks for taking the time to read all of this, again HAPPY NEW YEAR and to further show my excitement, I will add another $10,000 to anyone who responds to this thread with their New Years resolution, no matter how big or small or if it only pertains to Final Furlong or real-life.

Happy New Years Ren, I'm glad things are working out! Graduating is so huge after all of that work that's put in. I don't really have much as far as a resolution, but I'm really looking forward to national park hopping when it's warmer with the puppy!

Congrats and Happy New Year!
My New Years resolution is to finally finish this book I've been working on for the past four years. Just have five more chapters (not including rewriting the first chapter) to go.

Congratulations on graduating Ren! That'll be me in May XD
For a New Years Resolution...I honestly just want to sleep more. My average per night during last semester was 4.5-5.5 hours, with 2 hours at least once a week and a marathon of 11 hours on Saturdays, and that just wasn't healthy. So my goal is to go for about 6-7 hours a night. Getting back into running would be cool too.
