Trying to think of what I did this year the adventures I went on, hours of work, college work load, exams, college graduation, new job and so much more but it went too fast. Older people have been telling me that I am too young to be saying that time is going way too fast and needs to slow down. They reckon that you can only say that when you get to a certain age and I&#8217;m far from it yet but to me time is flying I can not believe 2017 is so nearly over. Thinking back to the start of the year and what I wanted to accomplish this year don&#8217;t think I did much of what I aimed to do <img data-attachment-id="2729" data-permalink="https://itsemer.wordpress.com/2017/12/08/count-down-to-2018/attachment/2018/" data-orig-file="https://itsemer.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/2018-e1512754345137.png?w=300&#038;h=196" data-orig-size="300,196" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="2018" data-image-description="" data-medium-file="https://itsemer.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/2018-e1512754345137.png?w=300&#038;h=196?w=300" data-large-file="https://itsemer.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/2018-e1512754345137.png?w=300&#038;h=196?w=300" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2729" src="https://itsemer.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/2018-e1512754345137.png?w=300&#038;h=196" alt="2018" width="300" height="196" srcset="https://itsemer.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/2018-e1512754345137.png 300w, https://itsemer.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/2018-e1512754345137.png?w=150&amp;h=98 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />but then I did do things I didn&#8217;t expect to so in a way it was a good year. Possibly will do a post nearer new year recapping 2017 for me, for now I&#8217;m trying to get my head around how fast time is going :O I thought 2016 went really fast then this year came and now flew even quicker honestly anyone know how to slow it down a bit? It&#8217;s going to start going even quicker I feel and it will seem like days are really short. I can&#8217;t be the only one who thinks time is going too fast. Looking forward to 2018 and all the adventures I&#8217;ve planned and hopefully do more next year.</p>
