2014 Best-Worsted
Hey Mom!
So as a university student I tend to think of the new year starting in September but Facebook just told me I'm wrong. So let's evaluate.
This year has been a year of growth (not height wise because if it were, I might still be playing basketball). Much like puberty, personal growth is awkward and painful. I find that I have emerged from the cocoon like an ugly duckling. I'm sort of moulty and can't really fly but I'm alive and at least I'm not a stupid egg.
So here is the highlight reel for 2014.
Top Ten Best of 2014
1. I tried new things - I started making Youtube content, an Etsy page, I moved out of my parent's house, I acted in a local web series (you're shaking your head, why does everyone shake their head when they hear that?), I started using hashtags ironically. The whole world opened up for me, when I stepped out of my comfort zone.
2. I lived in 3 different cities in 2014 -Living in different cities really gives you a sense of what is out there. It also gives you an excuse to not know any major roads and to just generally be dishevelled... I can pull off dishevelled like it's an actual style.
3. I now have a nemesis - Bob Saget used to be my hero, now he is my nemesis. Nemesis.
4.Ya Mama - She is just so kind, I don't know what I would do without her.
5. I now own a Thor costume and it brings me more joy than acting like an adult does.
6. I learned that I can wear red lipstick like a flipping boss.
7. I learning that quitting to move onto something else is not the same as giving up because something was too hard.
8. I have a bike! Totally a 2 wheeler.
9. I went camping... I didn't even die.
10. My mom bought me a hammock... it is currently set up indoors, so I can ponder in my pondering hammock.
Top Ten Worst of 2014
1. I tried new things - It was terrifying, there were times I cried because I was stressed or felt like I was in way over my head (is it physically possible to cry underwater? - I'm asking for a friend). Trying new things did not make my life any easier in fact it made me lose handfuls of hair and eat handfuls of chocolate.
2. I lived in 3 different cities - moving sucks. I am not good a packing, not good at downsizing, not good at lifting heavy boxes, not good at unpacking. Moving sucks.
3. I drank coffee pot descaler - for the love of all that is good in the world, NEVER drink descaler. It's like having a fire demon tear through your small intestine.
4. Ya Mama - she can be a bit bossy.... sorry.
5.I learned the value of a second opinion the hard way. I'm going to not to get too preachy here but, I almost paralyzed myself because I trusted a professional for no other reason than they had a piece of paper on their wall that said they were qualified. It is your right to get a second opinion, pain is your body's way of saying something is wrong. Please note that Web MD is not a second opinion. Preachiness complete.
6. My nemesis doesn't know I exist. Curse you Bob Saget.
7. I learned that it takes me at least 20 minutes to put on red lipstick because I have the hand-eye coordination of a 4 year old.
8. I challenged the strength of a car window with my skull.. I won but did I really? No seriously did I? I don't remember.
9. I was addicted to Campbell's chunky soup for about 8 months... I'm just lucky I made it out alive.
10. I made it past level 400 on Candy Crush Saga, I started collecting Dark Elixir on Clash of Clans and I unlocked the beach on Minion run. It came at a terrible cost friends. A terrible, terrible cost.
That is all.
