It's a new year, yet again, but this time I'm not waking up in someone's basement with the stale taste of alcohol in my mouth and regrets lingering around me...nope, this time I'm waking up half way across the world in Ireland (still waking up with that stale taste, but it's better here).
2013 has brought me through some amazing adventures. From finally taking my first official journalism classes, and falling in love with my major- to applying for internships all over the United States (If you're reading this and I sent you my resume, hire me for the love of God). All in all, 2013 you were beautiful and tragic and adventurous obnoxious and I hope 2014 has nothing less to offer! So, here's a synopsis of how the last 12 months unfolded:
1. I went to Florida for an incredible vacation with some incredible people for Spring Break, and came home with some ripe sun poisoning torturing me the entire flight home- but it's cool I was still tan, right?
2. I worked seemingly non-stop at Molly's Cupcakes, constantly eating only the tops of the vanilla cupcakes and mini cookie's with vanilla frosting squished in between them, and avidly avoiding the reality that cupcakes, sadly, do not constitute as breakfast.
3. I decided, due to the amount of cupcake tops and mini cookies I consumed on a daily basis, that joining a gym would probably be a necessity, and so I signed my life away to Kosama- literally, the most intense workout facility I could have ever imagined, and I fell in love with working out again.
4.I bought a moped.
5. I fell in love with my sorority all over again, and everyone in it.
6. Finally decided on where I want my journalism degree to take me ( ESPN, I swear I'd never let ya down!)
7. After many, and I literally mean many, attempts at applying for scholarship and opening rejection letters, I can officially say that I accepted two scholarships this semester and I couldn't be more excited about it!
8. Again, I was faced with the realization that life is precious and fragile and can be taken from us in an instant- so I loved and laughed and danced, like I was only alive for the day.
9. Had the amazing experience to be apart of something bigger than myself by volunteering at Camp Heart Connection. I'll tell you something, those kids are the strongest little humans I've ever met in my entire life. Even if the kitchen was hell and I was constantly surrounded by slop buckets and desserts, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
10. I turned 21 and it was easily the best day of my life, until I woke up the next morning (still apologizing to my grandparents for being the epitome of useless and lifeless at lunch the next day- sorry guys!).
11. Turning 21 was also a pretty damming thing for my bank account. ugh.
12. I fell in love with every aspect of my life, from the good to the bad, something just clicked this year where I was finally able to accept every circumstance and outcome- and that's pretty cool.
13. Packed up a suitcase and left the country; see ya in 5 months America!

2013 you were absolutely astonishing, and I can not wait to see what this next year brings (hopefully an internship?!). Love to all, happiest of new years, and God Bless America!
