Goodbye 2011

Well it's officially the last day of 2011, so here are all the highlights:

1. Getting into 7 of the 11 colleges I applied to. It was nice to know that I would have a future, to know that I was going to a good school. Although I didn't end up going to the college I really wanted to go to, I went to the college that was perfect for me in the end. (Tonight is UVA's bowl game, WAHOOWA)

UVA

2. GRADUATION. I am so glad to have graduated from high school. I know some people like high school but (to put it lightly) I didn't. I am pretty glad to be out of there. No offense to my high school friends...don't worry I like you guys! Haha

3. Getting a Job. Though I hated working, it was nice making some money for myself. It taught me how to deal with a lot of different types of people. But seriously if you are in a store, please don't just pick something up and put it wherever, try to put it back where it came from. Or when you see someone fixing a table, don't just go up and mess it up. If you want to pick up a shirt fold them back like they are on the table.

The Workplace

4. Going to College. Definitely the highlight of 2011. Being in college has been the most fun, the most freedom, the most challenging, and the best experience. Yeah the work is hard, yeah there's a lot of work, but it is so worth it. I LOVE COLLEGE. New friends, new experiences.

5. Vacation to Spain. Yes, yes there were A LOT of hiccups on the trip, but all-in-all Spain was beautiful. It was nice to be immersed in culture that takes time to enjoy life. Everyday they close their shops, restaurants to take time to be with their family, relax, and enjoy life. I wish other members of our traveling party could have enjoyed it as much.

Those are my Top 5 Moments of 2011. Its almost time to start a NEW YEAR. Too bad I'm starting it off without a New Year's kiss :/
