Hi, world. It is good to see you tonight.
As you know, it is about an hour to the new year eve. 2014 is coming closer. So, what are you guys been doing? Anyone throw a party so you can bring your date? If yes, then we are on a same path! Because right now, I am, ready, to go to sleep. #garing #iknow #imsorry
So, I'm here laying on my bed, watching TV, playing phone, and look out the window every five minutes to check are there any fireworks yet or not. Poor Adelia. And yep, if you notice usually I will say something about what was happened during the year and wrote it in the blog when the year is changing. But now, I don't know, 2013 has been full of upside down. You can see me totally confused thinking about college here, then how happy I am get off of high school here, but then again you see me totally lost in here, and at the end there is happy ending in here. I do not want to recap it again here since it just too much. Too much things to talk about, too much processes to be detailed and for sure too much feelings for these.
Either than that, here I just will rewrite some advices I found on internet. And I want to make this post to be my own reminder to be kind, nice, and always positive. Here we go.

Either than that, here I just will rewrite some advices I found on internet. And I want to make this post to be my own reminder to be kind, nice, and always positive. Here we go.
1. First, smile. Looking pleasant is so much more attractive. It is good for you, your surroundings, or maybe your heart. Maybe there is that guy who is looking at your smile, right?! POSITIVITY!
2. Laugh, scream, cry, or whatever. Just don’t be scared of your emotions. The things you need to reminder is to know when to share them with others and know when to keep them in the comfort and privacy of your home. Your emotion is yours. People can only see and judge it. You choose to whom you show it.
3. Make mistakes and never let them embarrass you. It is okay to be wrong. Nobody ask you to be always right. That is okay, Della, mistakes help you learn and grow more than anything else. More than a compliment can do.
4. Ask questions! If you don’t understand something, especially in groups, please do ask. Don't be scared, remember that it is okay to not being right. And as every college professor says that there are chances someone has the same question as you. It just about who gonna ask it first.
5. Never feel pressured to do something that is “hip” or “cool” if you don’t enjoy it. Don’t read because you feel like you need to. Don’t exercise because you feel like you need to. They’re healthy for you, and broaden your horizons and skills, but if they make you miserable, find alternatives, and don’t let anyone make you feel badly for not doing something you don’t enjoy. Do things that you like, so you will put effort on it.
6. And, vice versa: never let someone make you feel badly for doing something that you do enjoy. They do not know your process. You make it.
7. Learn more, study more, do the best at every assignments and exams, do the best in college. Remember how sad when you are not accepted on the Uni you want. So, now you have a chance to show that, you are good enough to be anywhere.
8. Tell Mom and Dad, tell them you love them, and thank them for bringing you into the world. Tell, now.
9. Don’t use “being busy” as an excuse, and don’t tell others “how busy” you are. No one cares, and they are just as busy as you. Prioritise will tell you which one comes first. Be kind, be professional.
10. You have to be nice to people, but you don’t have to please them. Make yourself (and keep yourself) your priority. There is a difference between being kindhearted and being a doormat. Strive for the former, abandon the latter.
11. You live in your body: decorate it how you please. But remember, make it good looking one :p
12. Keep your home a space of comfort, and don’t allow negative energy, thoughts, or people into your safe haven. Be positive as you can do, Della.
13. Don’t buy food you won’t eat. Don’t buy clothes you won’t wear. It’s simple: don’t waste. There are people who need it more than you.
14. Know you importance but also know your limit. You are the one who decide what you should do or not. You decide what to think first or later. You decide yourself, because you know yourself at its best level. You know what is good for you, but also you know until what level you should do that. Be open, with youself.

15. Because it bears repeating: smile. It’s only life. Goodluck.
And, happy new year!
