Reflection

So I haven’t been on tumblr in a long time and realized that I didn’t reflect my year for 2010 and talk about my goals for 2011. Although we’re already 15 days into the new year, I don’t think it’s too late. :)

2010

Oh how I loved 2010; I remember what I was thinking at the end of 2009, on December 31st. How 2010 would be the best year of my life and how I nervous I was for the change I knew was soon to come. Senior year was a blast, made new memories with friends, senior class secretary, getting closer to old friends, bergs class, dealing with senior exhibition and ms. Katz, fun times in ASB, college applications, college acceptances! College decision. Last dances: homecoming, asb ball and prom queen :) Most fun summer of my life, went out a lot, hung out with great people, first time ever in my life sleeping over at a friends house, my Best Friend: Jasmyn. Actually hanging out with Alexia over summer, BOSS, Farson, the end of a long friendship, preparing for college, last “full” year at home, college orientation, COLLEGE!!! being so homesick I would cry for hours, sucking at calculus even though I took AP hahaha, being shy at first and feeling lonely to being GABY again! and making friends. Being unsocial at first because I was scared to lose track of school but realized time management is key. Roommates, broke my camera before college, got a new one for christmas! Picture time!! Overall, 2010 was the best year of my life so far. Drastic changes for the better. College is awesome, I feel like I have been able to mature more and be comfortable with the idea of being alone and that my parents aren’t always going to be there. Been lame since I haven’t gone to a college party or gone out for that matter X) haha but I will soon! My life went from being enclosed in my little world at home, not really worrying about how real life is, to realizing I’m gonna grow up and not live with my family forever. We can’t be kids forever, and we can’t go to Neverland because we have to grow up. 2010, thank you for being all I wanted and more. You will always be my year to rememeber.

2011

“New year, New you” That’s what everyone says, but in reality its, new year, same you with different perspectives and goals. I have always made a new years resolution but never really stuck to it. So this year I’ve decided to actually work hard for my goals. I made a list of things I wanted to get done not necessarily by this year but  by whenever it happens. I decided to take it one step at a time and try to become a more mature me. I want to grow and expand my knowledge and understand the world. I want to expand my vocabulary and have intellectual conversations, I want to exercise regularly and I want to do good in school. I want to stop comparing myself to other kids who seem “smarter” than me. I want to just keep trying because that’s the best thing I can do. I want to make my parents proud and I want to be more active in school. I want to keep in touch with friends from san diego but we all live busy lives so its hard sometimes. But that’s what summers are for right? I just want to be content and continue to learn to love myself. I want to spread joy and  happiness to those around me. I want to have my opinion and be able to back it up. I want to read again. 2011 just started and it feels like its gonna be a fast year. But I am excited for the new experiences to come. Second week of second quarter already done! Soon I’ll be a sophmore!        I love you all, and thanks for taking the time to read my posts. I am a sentimental wreck sometimes so excuse the sad posts. but overall I am happy and I love life and I want to live!

Here is to a great year to you all, this year and all the rest to come. Have a lovely time wherever you may be and just be happy because life is precious and too short. Spread the love. :)
