    Love the enthusiasm guys. Let's seriously try to make 2017 the best it can be. 2016 admittedly hasn't been a good year for humanity in general (for many many apparent reasons).

    I've personally went through a mixed bag of productivity and setbacks. I acquired many new skills, learned a lot from an amazing film school environment, and made tons of new friends...but at the same time, I committed too much to work that I didn't particularly enjoy or benefit from, barely having time for my own content or activity on MM the past semester. And when the election came around, along with a sheering number of big names and celebs passing away, everyone around me for a while just became toxic and depressing AF to talk to. Hopefully, the amount of tragedy and adversity we've all endured will remind us to push for better goals and happier times in the future.


    My detailed resolutions (should you care to read them):
    • Become far more efficient and productive in all aspects of my life, including finding a healthier balance among different hobbies, work, and leisure.
    • ^ Same
    • Get out of my current creative block and actually finish Soldiers of Scania or at least release the first episode. So many years and changes to the series have gone by; it's gotten to the point where I'll feel accomplished just getting it done after 6 years of development hell D:
    • Become a better director and start directing my own short films again
    • Submit one independent film to a festival
    • Acquire 5 new skills that'll be useful in the long run
    • Finish one new video or project every 2-3 weeks
    • Try out (or revive) 3 new hobbies
    • Help @StayFrosty wrap The Maple Boss Collab and continue to make MM more active
    Optional Ones if I finish the above:
    • Catch up on some anime
    • Develop better sleeping habits with the slight hope of growing a little more before I'm 23 lmao
    • ...Ask a girl out? I'm way too old/inconfident to have not dated anyone or been in a relationship by now ;__;

    Coincidentally, 2017 is supposed to be the Chinese Year of the Rooster, which I read somewhere suggests the dawn of change, triumph, and success through hard work and patience. So let's make it count!
