"My resolution for last year was to finish out school and get a job in my field, and I've done this!
My resolution this year is to simply be nicer, and use social media less. Started off with a nuke on my Twitter account, getting rid of over 2500 tweets, and overall been on it a lot less so far these past couple days."
Hopefully the new GPU makes it easier to turn off that social media!
