Happy New Year!
Year in Review:
I went back to school for spring semester. Got dumped. Went to Charleston. Had a massive mental breakdown. Realized the people I thought were my friends were pretty unreliable (both at school and home). Had my first (and last) drunken hook-up in college. Declared my majors. Realized I have many unresolved personal issues. Came home. Worked at Victoria's Secret. Quit Victoria's secret. Went to London and Wales. Lost a good 20 pounds. Went to Italy and London. Changed hair color to blond. Went back to school for fall semester. Started work in the admissions office. Participated in Taste of Africa fashion show. Admitted as a STAR (GW tour guide). Cut my hair after Thanksgiving. Finals. Came home for winter break.
Thoughts:
A tumultuous year indeed. One of growth and discovery. I cut off a lot of friendships, some I wish a hadn't and some I'm glad I did. I found out that my family is really cool and I'm really grateful for having them. Church has become therapeutic and not a form of torture. Boys are not as important as I once believed them to be. I think that the belief that drastic changes to hair means a change in personality is true.
My Resolutions:
Last year my resolutions were to lose weight and get my grades up. I managed both. (Size 12 pants to size 8 and 3.7 for the semester!)
This year I would like to:
Stop apologizing for things that are not my fault
Stop believing that people hate me after 5 minutes of knowing me
Form and express my own opinions (I can be only so moderate)
Stop trying to make everyone accept me
Smile more often
Hope everyone has a wonderful new year.
