And what have I got out of this year? Well...many things, some tangible and some not.
I have learned immense amounts. And I didn't think I had, until I looked at all the stuy notes I've made over the past months, and realized that I know everything thats in those thousands of pages. That's pretty damn cool! I've learned (to some extent) how to learn as well. Someone said that to me on the train... in university they teach you how to learn....I know how to study, I know how to take proper notes... I know how to organize them.

Apart from school Ive learned many things too, or have started the learning and still in the process of perfecting. I've learned that I am okay on my own. It was always something I wondered when I was with Sandy, and always something I tried to learn in highschool but never got around to it. I have been on my own since Septemeber, and if I can do my first year university with all of these massive changes without a significant other, Im pretty sure I can last through anything.

I've learned that friends are something to cherish. Ive learned this through the new ones Ive made here at Queens who are fabulous but also from my girls at home. It's been two years since we've been separated and we're all still going strong. I talk to one of them at least once a day, we still share the important things in life and the not so important things. I never, not once in a day, forget that I have them.

I've learned how much family means to us all. I always knew that, but I think I've started to learn how to treat them, and am getting better at not always having to be right, of course there is still room to grow, but Im getting there. Ive learned that no matter where someone is in the world, you can still love them

I've learned that I don't necessarily have my life planned out like I thought. I don't know exactly what I want to do, and as scary as that is, its also kinda cool.

Ive learned that I miss my passion, and its important to keep it in your life for always

Ive learned that we all have to grow up in some ways, but for the rest of our lives we can still be kids at heart... my stepdad is the perfect example

Ive learned that sometimes its nice to be alone

Ive learned that going to bed with a smile, makes u wake up with a smile

Ive learned that complaining is annoying and stressful and repeitive

Ive learned that compromising can be fun, and so can being the bigger person

I havent necessarily learned why I push people away, or why I still want a fairytale, or why when my mom says that I push people away I still can't except it. Or what my issue is with love/lust.... all that is still fuzzy...but I have leanred that its okay not to know right now.... because Im 18 (19 in three weeks).... and there is plenty of time to learn...!!!

Most importantly... Ive learned that I love learning!! How's about them apples?
