And a Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

I hope your first two weeks of 2012 have been fantastic! I myself have done a lot since my last November post. Of course I enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving feast with the greatest family ever, but I also finished up my third semester at CMU. I enjoyed an entire month at home for Christmas. I had the opportunity to work and make a good chunk of money which went towards my books and tuition. I got to spend time with my amazing friends and my family. Overall, 2011 was a great year. 2011 was a year of making new friends and loving the old ones. It was a year of new experiences and old traditions. It was another great year that has made me appreciate all that I have and be accepting of all that I don't. Love to all my family and friends from all over Michigan all the way to Arizona.

Now that it's 2012 I do have some resolutions. They're pretty easy so I think I can stick to them. My goal is to be a better person. I know that sounds really cliche but it's true. I'm starting by not telling people "it's ok" unless it really is ok. I know it seems like a little thing, but I need to be more honest with myself and those around me, and this is how I'm going to do it.

I've also started my 4th semester of college. It seems so crazy to think about that. It seems like just yesterday I was in 8th grade, and now I'm in college. But the semester is so far so good. It's only been a week so talk to me in a month or so! I'm taking 18 credits this semester so that means 6 classes. It's a lot of work but I feel confident that I can make it through. So I guess for now that's it in the exciting life of me. But here's hoping you're all having a wonderful 2012 so far!

I'll send an update your way next time something "newsworthy" comes up. Until then, remember:
I'm me and you're not!
