In the past year, I traveled and met great people, I took PhD courses and started doing yoga. However, I had difficulty in stress management and overthought about things that I shouldn't have.

In the upcoming year, I would like to focus on maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I do not want to worry about things or people that will be unimportant in a short time. Lastly, I would like to publish the articles that I wrote.

In the upcoming year, I would like to get things in order with the help of lists. I would like to see all the physicians that I need to and be done with it. Lastly, I would love to finally get my Notorious H.R.T.

In the last year, I enrolled in my dream university. I beat my addiction and got off psych meds. I powered through all my problems and paid no nevermind to fixing my problems at their roots, ultimately making it harder for my current and future self.

In the last year, I mostly studied for my goal which was getting accepted to ODTU. Here I am. I couldn't read much books because of studying to YKS. I started a bad habit which is sports betting. But it was mostly a happy year.

In the past year, I lost a lot of friends who I thought would be there for me no matter what, but that way I learned who my real friends were. It was a stressful year. In the end I achieved my dreams. I’m really happy and overall it was a pretty good year.

In the past year, I studied a lot and I thought a lot about my future. I made important decisions and I chose to study foreign language education in METU, far away from my home. I met wonderful people and made new friends. I started a bad habit unfortunately. I became more emotional somehow.

This year I got into a university I always wanted and have managed to get used to my dormitory which was quite rough at first since my dorm is the very representation of hell on Earth. I also started participating in a few clubs here in METU where I met people I wouldn’t have otherwise and I also felt a sense of responsibility which made my decision of not skipping prep school way more justified. I was also able to get back into my hobbies which hadn’t lost their charm at all.

In 2023 I didn't take care of myself very well physically and psychologically.half of the year I worked so hard to get into METU. Other than that I lost so many toxic friends from high school but like Taylor said everything you lose is a step you take. I overthink and because of that I lost myself in my own mind and now it is hard to focus on something

In the upcoming year, I would like to be successful at my department. I would like to get a part time job and earn my own money. And I hope I don’t lose my friends who are studying somewhere other than Ankara.

I don't know whether people have a tendency to feel like the most recent year was the most eventful or not, but it sure feels like it. over the 12 months, my life and I have changed in ways that are not recognizable. wobbled my way through several relationships, made mistakes that haunt me to this day. Also there was yks and such, which is not more than a distant memory. Overall more grown as a person. Maybe not enough book reading or writing, that's all. Drank a lot too

In the past year, I travelled with my friends and had the best time doing it. I saw new places, met new people and got accepted to one of the greatest universities in Turkey. I had great times in 2023 however, I also have been through difficult times. There were times I couldn’t handle the stress that was caused by yks.

2023 was great in its own peculiar way. While it subjected me to enormous amounts of emotion, most of it was painful. This is okay, though, as I don’t expect comfort anymore.

In the upcoming year, I would like to focus on my lectures and new friendships. I want to get to know people who are in my department more and have healthy and long-lasting relationships with them. I am also praying that i pass my math exams.

Last year, I was working hard for the college entrance exam to be able to get into the university I wanted. Although I could not get into that university, I've come to realize I am satisfied with where I am right now. Also, many people I considered to be very close to me parted ways with me, and it made me realize I cannot force people to stay in my life.

In the next year i would like to overcome my addiction and start winning on bets. I would like to read more on my free times. But apart from these I hope this year will be a year full of money, love and most importantly happiness.

2023 was a complicated year for me. My issue with overthinking-worrying about things continued unfortunately and that affected me badly . Besides that this year was probably one of the worst years in Beşiktaş’s history and we are forced to deal with the dumbest man alive Ahm*t Nur Çebi. However, beautiful things happened especially during and after the summer season. I got into METU which was a childhood dream for me. Also finally I got my licence and started driving. I took one of the most joyful vacations in my life and it really helped me to relax after 2 rough YKS years.

Next year, I would like to start doing sports as a hobby(I haven't decided yet but ice skating can be nice.) I want to build relationships with kind and respectful people who wouldn't judge me.Also, I would like to play guitar which I quit playing 2 years ago.

The following year I hope to skip prep school and focus on clubs and other activities related to self improvement. To cite a few; improving my German, expanding my coding repertoire and spending more time on practicing on a guitar. I don’t really have any personality traits that I am unhappy with so I feel at peace with myself and I would like to go on living this way since it took a lot of effort for me to get to this position. Once my mechanical engineering “journey” starts I want to at least try and continue with my hobbies whilst handling the behemoth that is engineering in METU or specifically mechanical engineering.

I want to spend less, know more; drink about the same and read a lot more. I know whatever my vision of the new year will be, It will be awfully wrong; such is the nature of the human condition.

This year, my life completely changed. My relationship with my friends was a quite challenge for me.On the other hand, I reached into some of my dreams such as university.I met with some great people as well and they helped me to see different perspectives in life.

Beyza

2023-12-28 10:14:27 UTC

Next year, I want to be more aware of myself and the people around me. I want to stay more in the present rather than constantly having regrets about the past and expectations for the future. I also want to form more meaningful, deep, and long-term relationships with people.

Elif Yaren

2023-12-28 10:14:58 UTC

In the upcoming year, I want to quit my bad habits, including procrastination. I want to focus on my academic life, be more social person and mentally healthier. Also I don't want to think about the past and the future all the time, I want to just live in the moment and enjoy the life.

In the past year, I recovered from depression and actually, learned how to hold on to myself.

I got free from insulin pens, read a lot, did many hobbies.

In the end I am proud of myself.

However, I struggled to deal with my perfectionism and tried to control everything that is happening in my life. I would like to work on these.

Sude

2023-12-28 10:17:59 UTC

In the upcoming year I am hoping to be able to overcome my perfectionisim and go with the flow without stressing too much about the the things that I cannot control. Moreover, I want to exercise more and keep doing the things that puts a smile on my face.

For 2024, I hope I’m going to be more relaxed , blessed and determined. I aim to shut my harmful inner voices , stop thinking about the past and looking ahead of my life journey. I wish everyone a happy 2024 and I hope everyone’s wishes will come true.

This year has been tuff. I lost some of my habits when i moved to METU. Also has been more careful of my dutys and chores. I wouldnt believe i would study at METU in the beginning of 2023. I was trying to strengthen my personality. I met awesome people this year
