New year, new you. At least, that’s what we always tell ourselves at the beginning of a new year. Despite our best intentions, we all tend to fall back into our old routines and habits by mid-January. Still, I believe it’s worth starting each year with fresh optimism about all that could be — so in that spirit, here are ten things I’m looking forward to in 2022.

1. The pandemic being downgraded to an epidemic
2. Reopening of schools
3. Continuing my self-healing and self-care journey
4. The final seasons of Ozark and This is Us
5. Travel 
6. Meeting family and friends again
7. Watching movies in a cinema hall again
8. A healthier me and family
9. Upskilling through online classes
10. Making new connections
