In 2008, my...
saddest moment was: when Brittany passed away and I had to see her family and close friends hurting
happiest moment was: going to Six Flags in August
greatest accomplishment was: getting through school
biggest change was: trying to accept the fact that I'm 20 and need to be the adult I am...it kinda sucks sometimes
most besetting sin was: realizing that I hadn't listened to God and because of that, had to end things with Andrew which I know hurt him pretty bad. but I'm so glad I did...even though that kind of sounds like an oxymoron
favorite gift was: ummm, well getting my free phone from Verizon was pretty exciting! wasn't really a gift though. and the scholarship award from Chickfila.
biggest learning experience was: don't give up on God, no matter how hard things get
favorite movie was: 27 Dresses :)
favorite book was: I started reading some of the Harry Potter books...wish I had time to finish them
sweetest memory was: the peace I felt after breaking up with Andrew and spending time with my friends instead
greatest challenge was: getting through the year, especially while I was taking Anatomy
favorite item of clothing was: that's dumb...I guess my pink shirt I got from Target haha...got alot of compliments on it lol
newest skill was: absolutely nothing...well I guess I can shoot a gun halfway decent now
favorite month was: August
most memorable news story was: heck...I guess all the election stuff...i don't really keep up with the news
Next year I hope to change: getting closer to God, letting my true self come out more often, getting involved with more stuff, living my life keeping in mind that every second isn't promised, and enjoy being single because there will be a time when I won't be.
