Revelations and Resolutions

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost a year since I last blogged.
And I must say, much has transpired since that last post.

8 Months. 8 long memory filled months.

Let's recap...
-I graduated high school.

-I went to the Bahamas

-I went to Hogwarts! (okay, Harry Potter World, but still)

-I tried frog legs and escargot. Alors, je suis très française
maintenant!

-I started my first semester at college.

-I finished my first semester at college.

-I swam with dolphins!

-I saw my first sibling get married (and missed my senior prom because of it, but I'm not bitter...)

-I drank more soda in the last 4 months than in the rest of my life combined.

-I saw snow fall for the first time.

-I said goodbye to many many friends but I made one of the best friends I've ever had or could've dreamed of having.

-And finally, I realized that I am so much more capable than I would ever have thought possible.


Honestly, the year 2013 was one of the most eventful ones to date. There was lots of stress, lots of heartache, lots of road bumps, LOTS of self doubt, but at the same time lots of hope, lots of laughter, lots of eye opening experiences, and lots of fun.

I've grown so much more in 2013 than I could ever have thought possible and I want 2014 to be just as life-changing and molding for me.

I'm resolving now to first, update this thingy more so I can better record all the awesome things that are going to happen to me. Next, I'm going to work my hardest and give my all in whatever I do. I believe that it's not about the numbers - losing 20 pounds, making X amount of money, getting perfect grades - but it's about putting in all your effort so at the end of the day you know that even though you might not have succeeded at everything you did, you tried. That's the first step.

So here's to 2013: the year of moving forward.
Here's to trying; taking the first step, and giving my all.

And here's to 2014: Are you ready to rumble?
