A Moo Perspective on 2010: a look back...

Two thousand ten. Twenty ten. The two-o one-o. 2010.

What a freakin' awesome year...

I still remember what my life was like exactly one year ago. Exactly. Not even kidding. A year ago on New Year's Eve I was on facebook pretty much the whole night and I wasn't even chatting with anyone, I was just there. Lame? Yea I know, but a lot has changed since then, I promise. Anyways I still remember that a little bit after midnight someone that I didn't know that well from school wished me a Happy New Year's on facebook. I responded back politely, and surprisingly enough the conversation never stopped. That's how I began the new year, making a new friend, something I'd always been terrible at. 

That kind of says a lot about this year for me. I made some new friends. It came to the point where I actually wanted to be at school because I looked forward to seeing the people there. Unfortunately there are some "friends" that shouldn't be trusted and jerkish guys that should be ignored, I learned that the hard way. During the summer I had the opportunity to meet a lot of really amazing people at leadership camps and I'm still close with some of them. I also moved out to the country and that was a pretty big change.

This year also brought in that long-awaited senior year of high school. Senior year is probably the main reason why this year has been so awesome. I can't really describe why, all I can say is I've really learned to appreciate the people around me and I feel extremely blessed to have them in my life. This year involved a lot of me learning about life. I connected way more with the world around me, I don't know if that makes sense. I guess I simply grew up. 

Okay, so this is getting pretty sappy and personal for me, so like any introverted, private person I'm gonna stop sayin stuff. So I'm gonna end this by quoting one of my favorite Sparklife writers...

"Happy New Year!  May your 2011 be full of zucchinis, requited crushes, and the biggest pair of Confidence Pants the world has EVER SEEN!"
