Well hello there Jordan year. It is finally nice to meet you. This past year has been one wild rollercoaster. Although I trampled along some obstacles I faced some sweet and eye opening times. This past year, I got into a healthy relationship, traveled out of the country, got a job at one of my favorite television stations and entered into my last semester of graduate school. With that being said, I had a lot of thinking and observations to do. I am ready to put the old behind me and begin a new chapter. I am grateful to God for protecting me and blessing me. I have decided to share some things I have learned this past year + fun facts about me I never realized:
- It is okay to not feel happy with the way your life is going. You’re human!
- Your body is going to change drastically. Don’t let it make you feel less than who you are.
- You deserve alone time. You need time to reflect and get away from outside noise.
- People will not accept your decisions. It’s not their life. ITS YOURS!
- Learn to start investing in your future no matter how young you are. Ex: Start learning how to save, what it takes to be a homeowner, investing in stocks, etc.
- Maintain healthy relationships/friendships. It’s important. It’s vital to how you will feel emotionally day in and day out.
- If you’re terrified of flying on a plane and elevators….its okay. You are one of the 6.5% of people who feel this way.
- I am sucker for love and dream of a perfect home. Don’t let society make you feel bad for wanting to be a mother and wife.
- I secretly wish I could abandon my career and travel the world for a year.
- Getting rid of toxic friends this year helped me. DO IT. Trust me it won’t kill you.
- Asking for help is the greatest thing you can do towards your success!
- The enemy will test you when you receive good news… don’t let it talk your ear up.
- Thinking of diverting from your original career goals? It is not the end of the world.
- Take time to get to learn about yourself. Every night have self-talks with yourself and deconstruct your day.
- It is safe to admit that I CANNOT function without my planner + time management skills.
- Learn to grow a very thick skin. People words can eat you alive if you let it.. DONT!
- Take time to take care of your physical and mental health from time to time. ( I should take my own advice but I have an excuse, right? Grad school is taking over my life)
- I feel very uncomfortable in large social gatherings LOL.. yet I’m a journalist. Go figure.
- I have grown love for Mediterranean/Greek food.
- I hate that I can’t speak my native language (Fante/Twi) fluently.. LOL everyone makes fun of me but I am learning.
- I discovered I WILL never be a morning person. My mind works best at night.
- Don’t get caught up on what could of been… be thankful for the now.
- LIVE LIFE WITH NO REGRETS!
Thank You For All The Birthday Love + Wishes!! God Bless You ALL

Love this, you’re amazing! Happy birthday. I pray you see many many more and God bless!
