A New Year, A New Goal...

Most people set goals for their “New Year’s Resolution” but I feel like I want to become better this year.  I want to work harder and stay true to myself all the while.  I want to find adventure, and grow as a person.  I want to have fun and live, but remember where I’m from and that school needs to come first.  Thinking about this past year, 2010, it seems like so much happened, and so much has changed.  I am not big on change, but there have been some excellent changes in my life as of late, and I can’t complain.  2010 was the year of my graduation from High School.  It was the last for many firsts, and a year of many new firsts.  2010 was my 18th birthday, my senior prom, graduation, the death of my beloved grandma, as well as the beginning of many new friendships.  I’d like to say that I’ve grown up a lot just in the past couple months, but I still have my child-like innocence.  I still am naive when it comes to a lot of things, but i’m perfectly fine with that.  I have experienced heartbreak in the form of friendships, the loss of loved ones, as well as the perfection of priceless memories.
Although I do want to become a better me, I do have a few goals: this website!  I want to become a blogger, and track my life... sounds fabulous, correct?  I have awesome friends, so why not let the whole world see what we do for kicks and giggles?  Duh.  For the new year, 2011, I hope to not lose track of time.  This year seemed to fly by so quickly, and I feel as though I didn’t “live” anything!  I want to live this year, and realize that life is happening...
