Fearless

New year, new habits, new blog posts.

This year is a step in a completely new direction for me. First, I suppose, I should reflect on the year that's passed.

2011 marked my first full year out of highschool, which was quite the experience. Jumped head first into the working world, which was sprinkled with crazy bosses, workplace drama, but also some wonderful friendships and great jokes. It's all about how you look at things.
It was a year of firsts, both good and bad. The main event would be my first term at University. Although it was a very stressful 4 months, I wouldn't change it for the world, and honestly couldn't be happier that I'm actually here.
I also made a few big mistakes, one in particular comes to mind and makes my stomach churn. The first week of November was one of the most terrifying weeks of my life because of it, but it's situations like that which make me appreciate more than anything just how great of a support system I have with my friends. I honestly dont know what I would have done without them.

But 2012 has already started off well. It's going to be different than anything I've ever dealt with, mainly the fact that I'll only live at home 4 months of the year, but I know that I can handle it. And I honestly love my life right now. For example, I just got inside from an impromptu snowball fight with a good 100+ university residents celebrating the first snowfall of winter. Beautiful!

2012, I've determined, will be a year of balance. This means balancing school work with a social life. Balancing health with excess. Balancing emotions.

Basically, a completely new concept.
Wish me luck?
