I don't know if you know if you know this about me but every year I set goals.

You're so the kind of person who years resolutions and actually does them.

This is Devon, millennials editor.

It's true. It's a tradition of mine that my mom

instilled in me ever since I was six or so. What were your goals as a six-year-old? I was

like I want to eat more ice cream? No, it was like, I want to go to France.

I just would like write down these really kind of long shot things

and see if they happened. To be honest, I think that's why New Year's is one of my favorite holidays, not necessarily because of the champagne and confetti

celebration, but because there's this moment between where I am right now and January 1st,

where I feel like I'm swinging between branches and I can make a plan for myself

goals 2017 but right now that plan is little fuzzy. How do you write down goals when you don't

have a clear idea of what you want? You're listening to millennial, a podcast about coming of age and maneuvering your 20s.

This is not a typical millennial episode.

It's more of a behind the scenes episode.

After a year of making millennial full time,

my editor, Devon and I, are trying to figure out what's next.

A year ago, my life looked pretty different.

This is a clip from a holiday party I attended last December. It was hosted by the Public

Radio Exchange. When I walked in, I didn't know anyone anyone I don't even remember how I got an invitation to be honest Silent Night, Holy Night.

All is come.

Something that hasn't happened in the past year is I haven't become a better singer

But I hope we can all look past that I was unaware that at this party I would meet Julie and that our conversations would eventually lead me to signing with the radiotopia network.
