The Way I See It # 458

Note to self: Make plans for New Years Eve ahead of time.
Next year I don't think will have a problem with that, since I'll be turning 21, but at any rate, plans are a good way to not end up with Dick Clark and non-existant champagne (which I'm kind of bitter about).

I could have had plans... but one option included seeing some people from high school I haven't seen in a while (for a reason), and the other included complications that I had to let go. They both were promising, but for various reasons it didn't work out.

I guess it would be appropriate to reflect back on the year:
The Positive!
- I earned great grades at VCU
- Made new friends
- Moved into a new apartment/started my life in Richmond
- Got a job (a bit down to the wire, but it still counts as 2008)
- Learned how to live on my own
- Payed off a debt to my Father.
- started fleshing out my personal style.
- blogged more (however, that wasn't very hard)
- Ended up not investing in the stock market right before everything went to hell!

The Negative:
- Car accident
- Grandpa Dan's passing
- Family life in general
- My love life.

While the positives were certainly....well... positive, the negative were entirely too terrible. Each one of them were really bad in their own respect.

However... this is a new year, and I am determined to get this all turned around.

New Year's Resolutions: Final Copy

1. Learn how to cook. (A pasta dish, chicken, a casserole, a dessert, and meat loaf.)

2. Eat more cupcakes in 2009.

3. Read more books for pleasure.

4. Go out more/have more fun.

5. Always look your best.

6. Realize that you are what you are, and everything you do is all apart of what makes you wonderful. Don't doubt yourself, and focus on feeling empowered every day.


What are your New Year's Resolutions?

The Way I See It # 256

So this blog starts out on # 256. I have another blog, located in the links section that I've written in for the better part of a year. Feel free to spend your sleepless nights re-reading my life for the past year. It would take me the better part of a month to copy-paste all of the entries into this new server (Google apparently doesn't make it easy to upload a blog to another server). I've been looking for a new server for a while, and though this isn't as creative as the other, it definitely provides more perks.


hopefully this transition proves smooth!
