Well, 2012, we’ve been seeing each other for a day now and I can’t say I have any complaints thus far. 

2011 was simply amazing and I am sad to see it go, but I have a feeling you’ll be better.

I’m not one to live in the past, but I do not have one complaint from this past year. First off, I finished high school and moved on to college at Temple University. High school was one of those “thanks for the memories, even though they weren’t so great” type of scenarios. It prepared me to move on, and I’m thrilled I can finally advance.

I won the Times Leader’s Best & Brightest award, something I always wished to be considered for. I also figured out what exactly I want to do for the rest of my life.

I saw some of the best concerts of my life, and interviewed my all time favorite bands. I took on new challenges at the paper and succeeded. And I had a lot of “I’ll never forget this” type of moments.

My first semester of college was a blast, and my first winter break lead to a lot good things. 

To sum it up, I am nothing but excited for 2012 and I can’t wait to see what I’ll be looking back on this time next year.
