Amazing. I met my best friend, made a life in NYC (hot mess though it is), and traveled in 5 different European countries. May be the best year of my life thus far. .. Though I'm hoping 2013 can top it.
2. What changed you the most as a person throughout the year?
Well, throughout late summer/fall 2011, I was pretty lonely/depressed most of the time. Then being in Europe through April 2012 made me more confident and independent, but also didn't give me much opportunity to be around people for any extended period of time.
SO BASICALLY, what I am getting at is that after moving here and being lonely and depressed in the summer, Jenn happened, and because of her I have grown a lot and learned how to be a best friend again. Its because of her that I have regained my belief in how incredible and sincere people can be.
So yes, Jenn. She's the answer to this question.

JENN. That's really all.

4. What has been your favorite season of the year & why?
Probably fall. That was post-lease signing and I was employed for all that time in a job that actually looks good on my resume.

6. Is there anything unexpected to have come out of 2012?
I never expected to work in the jobs I did this year, never expected to find such a freaking incredible bff.. lots of what's happened this year has been unexpected, and that's a big part of why its been so kickass.
7. List any plans and resolutions you have for 2013!
Plans: work my ass off to become employed, New Orleans, bringing Jenn to NC for 4th of July, moving to a (hopefully) better apartment in the fall. All for now I guess.
Annnd now the resolutions!!
1. Do more things just because I can and because it would make me happy. Be free and enjoy.
2. Stop doubting people who I know love me. Feel more secure in my good friendships and stop worrying that I am not good enough or that any tiny mistake I make will end a friendship or make me unworthy of that person. Because real friendships don't just end out of the blue like that.
3. Stop worrying about what other people will think of the decisions I make.
4. Continue to read often.
5. Take some more time to be creative in some way. Be it writing, ukulele, art.. anything.
6. Don't feel tied down. If I want to do something, do it. Don't feel like I need to have anyone else's approval or accompaniment.
7. Work on getting better at sharing my stories or feelings with others. And by others I mean Jenn. I need to learn how to elaborate on things and know that there are people who care enough to listen.
8. Get a full time job (like legit full time with benefits and stuff).
9. Don't get depressed if I cannot fulfill #8. As long as I do my best to get there, know that is enough.
10. Whenever I have really negative thoughts, get out of my own head. Think of something positive, or talk to someone. Break the cycle of negativity and the feelings of failure and worthlessness.
