Happy 2013, everyone!
So this will be my last year of posts (okay really half a year) on this blog before officially moving to the After High School blog. In my mind I'm over high school, but of course it's not over yet so I still have some mandatory time here. But then again I have like, 1,929 page views of this blog, so I guess I'm kind of attached to that. Hopefully some of those viewers will transfer over!
I spent New Year's Eve on a double date with +2 others. Hung around St. Pete, as there was a fair going on, plus it was pretty fun being downtown! Seriously I don't have a better time in real life than hanging out with Alexis and Zander (and Holly and Amanda this particular time). The food was delicious and when traipsing around town was getting a bit much, we transferred the festivities (sans Zander) to Holly's house for a Star Wars marathon. Truth be told, it was my first time ever in my life watching Star Wars, and we got through the first (original: episodes IV-VI) trilogy. We ended up staying there from around 11:30 that night until like 3 in the afternoon New Year's Day, and the marathon wasn't the only "first" happening because TJ and I got to spend our first uninterrupted night together. Roughly halfway through Episode IV all of us just kinda passed out, and we were out for eight hours, so naturally we had to start it all over again. But it was quite the night. It was one of those nights where I was really glad I have at least a few good friends in the world, or at least a couple to double date with that has strikingly similar qualities which my own relationship possesses. Made me feel like I'd imagine being a main character in "Perks of Being a Wallflower" would be like, with the sense of kinship I mean. It's truly quite nice.
But back to it being 2013. And I have a resolution. Much akin to last year, it's to be a better me. Mentally, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually (to a degree). With this being the year I become an adult, start college, and really begin solidifying who I am, I want it to be good. It has to be good, because whoever I become and what I do and how I act in college basically affirms that for the rest of my life. Whichever habits I pick up will stay with me, and I can't have those be bad habits. Nope, it's time to make some good changes in my life. Yeah a "New Year's Resolution" is cliched and they almost never go through the entire year but damn it I'm going to try.
Also, I've officially been hired at H&R Block! $8.75 an hour, here I come. Woot.
Okay better go and try to do some homework for school next Tuesday. Yuck.
