I was tired from the party my family has thrown and from watching my mother's client. It's not your typical party where we all got drunk - only because I'm the oldest of my mother's side of the family. So I walked into the new year content, aware of my surroundings and focused on trying to figure out what this year has in store for me.
Too lit? How would I know 2017 will be too lit for me? Simple. I walked into the new year reminded of all the goals and dreams I had for a long time. For example, graduation. I will be graduating, after 4 years of college - with a Bachelor's in Biology in concentration of Biotechnology. Also with two minors of math and chemistry, but that makes me look a little extra.
I have five more months of my last semester of college, and that will be lit only because I always feel like my head is burning with headaches because of how stressed out I get. I'm taking 21 credits, but I'm only concerned with 2 out of the 8 classes I'm taking (the other 6 are general honors classes and a statistic class = buffer for my grades). I'm taking Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics. Already saying those topics, got me shook. They are not the most well deserved classes many science majors love to take because of how the subject is structured by the professors - but I have to suck it up and pass these classes with at least a B.
Not lit enough? Okay... well after graduation I plan to work with the greatest company ever - MONSANTO. And yes, if you don't like Monsanto, I don't really care if it's because of there shitty business tactics - I am there for the science, the field that makes you and I safe. Along with that, I also plan to start studying for the MCAT. The exam that will determine whether or not you are suitted for medical schools across the nation. I wanted to become an engineer during the beginning of my college career, but I guess becoming a doctor will be just as swell. This dream is for my mother and I would do anything for her, especially since she has done so much for me.
My last but final litness, whether good or bad - is telling my dad that I have been living with my girlfriend this whole entire time. This makes me shit bricks because he is anti-gay. The situation of this, is that my father wants to come to my graduation and stay with me, in my apartment during that week. And you guessed it right! I'm going to have to tell him about my girlfriend soon enough because if I don't, my life will shatter during the greatest dream. He currently thinks I live in an apartment alone with cats. But soon enough the truth will shine upon him. Hopefully it'll go well.

Besides that sad note, today was my first "2017 will be too lit for me" moments! My girlfriend (est 2009) and I celebrated our 7 years and 3 months montheversary <3. We went to Walmart and she then surprised me with a promise ring from Pandora. I was shook. She has always gotten me rings, but they were never real - and knowing me, being too much, never took care of it well. But this one, this is it. Her promise was so lit for me that I know after this - we probably will get married in the long run. We just need to get our shit together, just so we never need to say "we need to get our shit together" ever again. Till that day, here is a promise for the future.
So here are some reasons I over-shadowed the idea of 2017 being too lit for me. It's my transition year. It's the year I finally be true to my father. It's the year that will finally challenge me as an adult. I'm ready for you 2017. It will be lit.
Love,
Mari J Leano
