Thank you. It's nice to talk to someone in a similar position and I'm glad to see that you are doing well for yourself despite your challenges. It's great that you have friends and a community to look out for you and help you out, and you're having a wonderful Christmas. I also need to be more open with people about my problems, and take care of my health better, and I plan on working on both from now on.

I'll probably be working on projects and portfolio stuff on New Year's Eve. That's pretty much all I plan to be doing over my winter break. But I find myself happier if I'm busy and actively working on things as opposed to doing nothing productive in a day.

Only other thing I see myself doing on NYE is finally seeing the new Star Wars film with my family. I'm only a casual fan, but my brother has already seen it and really liked it so I'm looking forward to it.

Take care of yourself too, man! Happy holidays! :)

Merry Christmas! It's good to hear from you again. Sounds like you've been through a lot this year, but I'm glad that you're in a better place now and optimistic towards the future.

2015 has also been a struggle for me for pretty much the whole year. It's been especially rough these last few months with school, though. My courseload was pretty heavy this semester and I had health problems and scheduling issues that compromised my productivity, so I still have overdue assignments that I need to complete ASAP over the winter break, and there's one class in particular where I'm really worried about failing. But at this point, I can't do anything about whatever grade I get, and all I care about is just finishing the work. Once I get all these loose ends tied up and can put everything behind me, I'm optimistic that I'll learn from these experiences to have a more successful 2016.

I understand about cutting back on entertainment. I'm actually thinking of cutting out watching television altogether for a while come the New Year. I already haven't watched much this month anyways. Like yourself, I want to cut down on entertainment and activity on social media to focus on work, which is probably better for the long term.

Anyways, have any holiday plans? I'm going with my family to Las Vegas tomorrow. I probably won't do much there for the first few days, but hopefully I'll be able to enjoy the remainder.

Yo! Haven't seen you around AR lately. How have you been? Watched anything you really liked lately? And what do you think of the summer season so far?
