The Good --Graduated from high school in top 10% --Got into 4 of 5 schools I applied to --Went to the beach for a week with just my friends! --Survived my first semester of college, somehow pulling off a 4.0 --Met lots of amazing new friends, including my now-boyfriend
The Bad --Like Camanda said, I have SO many issues with money. I am rapidly becoming more and more poor --My grandma had a lot of health issues last year
Resolutions None, because I always break them. In 2009, I'd like to keep it classy (ha) and live my life to the fullest. I really realized the importance of that in the last few months of 2008.
