New Year, New Beginings

Happy New Years Eve! 2012 has been a decent year, but I'm ready for the next adventures. I feel like 2013 is going to be the year things really start happening for me. I'm going to graduate in December, which will be a huge payoff. I'm going to do at least one internship, which will show me exactly what I get to do everyday after graduation. I'm considering taking a trip to Vegas and possibly zooming into California to hit up a beach...just depends on things. I have a lot of plans, including some I can't tell you because I don't want to jinx them.

While there is a lot to look forward to in the coming year, there's been a lot to be grateful for in the last 12 months. I took AND passed (with A's and B's) probably the hardest classes in my college career. JCOM 2020 and Media Law, you no longer scare me. Beside's PR Research, my remaining classes are walks in the park. While I cried and whined my way through them, making it through the difficult classes alive  proved to me that I CAN DO HARD THINGS! School wasn't the only big thing in 2012. I'm in the mood to do a whole year re-cap like everyone else and their brother.

Big Things In 2012
January: I sent my book to a publisher. I've dreamed of becoming published, but never felt gutsy enough to actually send anything in. I finally "manned up" and sent it in.
I turned 20 and officially left my teenage years and mistakes behind.

May: I moved home from Logan to start one of the craziest, most fun summer's I've had.
I met someone who taught me how to be loved.
The publisher contacted me and let me know that my manuscript had been denied. It sucked, but I knew it was coming.
I was named one of the Outstanding PR juniors of the year at USU.

June: DISNEYLAND! I convinced my family to wait 45 minutes just so I could meet Tinkerbell. My inner 5 year-old was satisfied.
Midnight Denny's Runs, slurpee stops and tons of laughs.
I became a "Katy Captain" and scored some sweet Katy swag.

July: Mom and I got to see "Katy Perry Part of Me" in 3D at the premiere for FREE! I saw the film 7 times after that.
After 3 years, I finally quit the bowling alley. It was long overdue, but I miss the paychecks and a few of the people I worked with.

August: I fully enjoyed my month of not working and singleness by hanging out as much as I could with my girls Jayna and Candee.
My Camp Nanowrimo novel took my 2 weeks to finish. It is my favorite piece to date.
Moved back to Logan for school, excited by the new possibilities.

December: Finished the semester will an almost 4.0. (I got an A- in grammar.)
Moved home for 3 weeks of nothingness haha. I spent most of my break running errands for myself and others. My few days of nothingness drove me crazy.
Started something that I can't wait to tell you about when I know more information.

And that's it. So many little things happened as well, but I don't think we need to rehash those. I'm so excited for everything I hope this new year brings. Small pants! New job opportunities! Ending my college life chapter! Getting partially out of debt (maybe, but a girl can hope).

I hope everyone has a fabulous New Year's Eve, and enjoys the parties or whatever your night includes. Just remember to be safe. A cab is a WHOLE lot cheaper than an accident.
