When I think about it, 2011 was a pretty big year for me. I'm not one for those year-in-review things, so I won't do that. Instead, I'll do what I do best: talk about myself.
Things that I did in 2011:
- Submitted my college apps
- Got rejected from MIT, my then-dream school
- Drove eight hours to visit my now-dream school (where I go now, teehee)
- Graduated from high school
- Discovered my intense love for The Beatles
- Visited family in China
- Saw Paul McCartney live, in concert
- Went to college (huge transition, when I think about it)
- Got my first boyfriend
- Got dumped by my first boyfriend
- Survived my first ever round of finals
Things that I want to do in 2012:
- Blog more, I guess...
- Love myself and love everyone around me
- Ask out that cute Canadian dude
- Play more Settlers of Catan
- Read more Beatles books
- Sleep earlier on weekdays
- Wear my retainer more often
- Become a better engineer
- Learn to better balance studying and fun
(Interestingly, I think the order that I thought of the resolutions in the previous list says a lot about my priorities...)
Things that I don't want following me into 2012:
- The aftereffects of my breakup
- My poor time-management skills
- Any notion that just because I managed to get good grades last semester, I don't need to study or work hard for this one (I'll definitely need to work even harder!)
I know most people don't come through with their resolutions. But I mean, it's not like I'm promising anything impossible, like saying I'll exercise every day or read a book a week -- I'm just hoping that this year, I'll be able to become a better student and fix my dysfunctional love life. ...Maybe that is too much to ask. We'll see!
