Stole this from @Miajoythewritier
1. What is something you did in 2012 that you’d never done before?
Gone to community college, taken a college level summer class, dissected a rat and now for something totally unacademic—became a member of my church
2. Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Hm. Well, I didn’t achieve my resolutions the way I would have liked, but I think I have made steps in the right direction toward them?
- Get closer to God….be a better Christian, grow spiritually—–I struggled with this more than I would like to admit, but I basically read through the old testament this year so it was progress
. - be better at being a more private person—progress was also made with this. But there’s still more work to be done
- cut out toxic people (gossips etc)- some progress, not that much
- be more aware of other people- I’m so oblivious D:
- be an adult and learn adult stuff—-This was a weird one, but I think I became more adult-y.

40. #Quote or Song Lyric that sums up your year:
“Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain’t gonna last forever
And things can only get better”
Stronger by Mandisa. Not that I had a bad year, but that I’m kind of at that place where I’m just learning a lot of things and being stronger as a person and stuff. That sounds so cheesy, but I’m not good at picking out song lyrics to match life. I just listen to whatever.
So I thought of a better one….but I’m still leaving that one because I’m indecisive.
