I’m clearly an awful blogger. Haven’t looked at this in MONTHS. Since August maybe? Either way, life has been quite different since then. I’d best equate these past months to a rollercoaster akin to those in Islands of Adventure. Lots of steep highs, lows, large loops, and even some smooth sailing. Dyed my hair darker, made many new & close friends, laughed (and cried) a lot, celebrated a few 21st birthdays, made great decisions, then some horrible ones, and danced like crazy. Even though sometimes when I reflect on the months only the bad times are the ones that really stick out, I regret nothing & know that if I think long enough, I can come up with a bajillion things that were absolutely AMAZING about the last part of 2011.

This post was merely a reflection on a year past with the sole intention of making 2012 even more remarkable than the year previous. :)
