I wrote this article last year but somehow, it was pushed to the background like many of my journaled posts. Well, well, just pretend like it's last year and enjoy reading. Image credit    For some weeks now, I've been close pals with my FM radio which has given me the chance to listen to Nigerian music that I guiltily don't go all out to listen to. Music is a stress reliever and that is true and totally fine. For me however, aside the beat—that truly could relieve stress. Listened to instrumentals?—I'm one for content. Whenever I listen to music, I unconsciously keep my ears up to hear every word possible in that song, in order to assess if it's something I'd like to listen to on a regs—probably why I tilt towards ballads.

Definitely, there are habits that should and should not be cultivated by all, but still, one road doesn’t lead to the market. Well, after a series of happenings, I finally got what I wanted to have as my New Year’s post for you all. It’s a new year and I’m presently not in the mood for a lengthy post so, I’d just drop a list *winks*. 18 things/tips to help make the most of 2018 (My thoughts). 1.

I got a couple of people to complete the question; This initially was meant to be a round-up post but I thought it could double as a New Year post. So, yeah, here's what they had to say.
