Auld Lang Syne

Should old acquaintances be forgotten,

And never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintances be forgotten

And days of long ago!

-Robert Burns: Auld Lang Syne

Happy New Year 2012! 2011 had been a great year for me from Italy to Maine to Disney and hanging out with all my friends as much as possible. It was truly and unforgettable year and I know I will keep these great memories with me forever. I spent New Year's Eve at a party with friends; there was tons of food and we played Dance Central, pool, and we had a good time in general talking and dancing.

This year I am actually going to attempt to to keep my resolutions which are the following in no particular order:

1. Stop biting my nails

2. Crunches ever other day

3. Relax; to not stress

4. Spend more time with my family

This year marks the ending as a high school senior and beginning as a college freshman. Although I am excited to become independent and live away from home, I'm also terrified. I don't want to lose contact with my friends and I know I will miss coming home to my parents at night. However, this is my chance to make it in the world and to become independent and free; this means more responsibilities, but I am confident that I will be able to make the right decisions. I'll miss high school though and our silly worries and dramas and life.

Well onto an optimistic outlook to 2012. If the world does end this year, we need to make it the best and not dwell on the past of 2011.

Here's to another great year.
