Year in Review: 2012

Finals are all done, holiday parties are in full swing, and 'tis the season of reflection and resolutions! Aside from the fact that I reflect and make resolutions almost every other week, I particularly enjoy doing so during this time of year because I truly feel like it's a fresh start.

Self-help enthusiasts like myself appreciate the necessity of reflecting in order to move forward. So, instead of making a New Year's Resolution list, why not come up with a Last Year's Reflection List? Go for it! I challenge you! Think of all the accomplishments and failures and everything that falls in between from 2012. List them. Appreciate them. And, ring in the new year!

Granted, maybe two weeks before New Years' Eve is a bit too soon, but I was feelin' it!

Here's my short list!

In the year that was 2012, I managed to:

• Change future career plans...twice
• Graduate from college 
• Go sailing 
• Give a commencement speech 
• Get rejected from a lot of graduate programs 
• Fulfill a Bug Juice-inspired desire to be a summer camp counselor
• Risk utter embarrassment to tell a guy I liked him  
• Interview for jobs and submit resumes and cover letters 
• Get hired
• Rock rock-climbing
• Get into a graduate program
• Revamp this blog and keep it alive & kickin'
• And so much more and then some! 

It's been a busy year! One full of ... well, quite simply put, full of life! I'm looking forward to living every moment of 2013. I hope you are, as well! But, let's not get ahead of ourselves, enjoy the last two weeks of 2012!
