It really has been quite a year. Yes, I realize I say that every year. I guess it's because every year I'm amazed at the amount that unexpectedly happened. If only I could have predicted all of this on January 2nd last year... well let's see. I would have stopped worrying about college acceptances, knowing the place I will choose is the perfect fit for me. I would have stopped worrying about career choices, knowing I found something I completely love my first semester of college. I wouldn't have worried about public showers, the roommate situation, or finding friends at school. I would have seized the seemingly not-so-significant moments at the time. I would have appreciated some of the little things a little more. I would have tried a little harder in my relationship, held on a little harder to some of my friends from home. And well, I wouldn't have given my heart away quite so easily.
If you couldn't tell, 2011 was a hell of a ride.
Graduating high school has taught me some really great stuff. Starting college has as well. But it's the life lessons I will have remembered this time next year.
I wonder what I'll be looking back on on January 2nd, 2013. I wonder what I'm over worrying right now. I wonder what I'm not worrying enough about. I wonder who will enter, who will leave, and what challenges I'll be presented with.
Here's to best wishes in 2012.
