Resolve to Resolve.

Wellllll.... HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :)


I had to start out the new year with the traditional new year's blog!

2010 has been a crazy one with lots adventures and tons of lessons. I have been very blessed and I am very grateful for everything that has happened to me thus far in my life. Especially this past year, since it is so fresh in my mind. I have had a lot of experiences that I will never forget, nor do I regret. There have been lots of ups (and realllly really great ups) and lots of downs (some really terrible downs). But overall, 2010 has been a happy one. And, as this year has closed and a new one has started, I know I have a lot to look forward to. :)

This year, in 2011, I decided not to make too many resolutions. If anything, I just want to resolve to live life in such a way that makes me happy--to make decisions because it's what I want to do, not just what others want to do. I resolve to strive to be the best version of myself and to influence others to be the same. I resolve to put forth my best efforts (which includes graduating in July! finally!). And I also would like to read more. For myself. Not for others, or for a class or anything. Just for me. I really don't think I read enough, and I have a ton of books in my room that have only served the purpose of collecting dust. I started Eat Pray Love today. I loved the movie, so of course I had to read the book. But it is only going to increase my desire to travel. Which is something else I resolve to do. My plans after graduation include traveling. I'm not sure when those adventures will begin, but it will definitely be this year. :) And for now, those are all my resolutions (aside from the usual "lose the holiday weight" because it really is happening. for real.).

Anyway, before I end this thing and go get some cafe freakin rio with my family, I just wanted to share a few of my favorite memories from 2010...












































HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
