This year was pretty crazy for me. I’m thankful that my family and good friends helped me to keep going and stay strong no matter how hard things got for me. And of course I am thankful that God put me on the path I am on today because the more I strive to keep going, the more I learn about myself.

Let’s see…

Spring semester of my freshman year was pretty amazing. Even though I had a couple break downs because of school, it didn’t stop me from trying my upmost best to achieve my goals. Living in the dorms is such a great experience and I LOVE it<33 However, moving out after spring semester was pretty hard because my dorm floor became a family and it was hard for all of us to leave. But I am thankful that we are all still good friends.

Summer this year. Oh man. I haven’t been so proud. I dropped at least 26 pounds [: Losing so much weight put me on that healthy eating grind, don’t worry, I still eat junk food from time to time when I want :D. THEN, you know, I went to Six Flags with 7 great people, Ally, Jeff, Nicole, Paul, Alyssa, Marvin, and Al<3 SSFT BABY! It was soo last minute but SO MUCH FREAKIN FUN <33 I miss them though :/ I also went on that yearly Del Mar trip with my Mamas Ally (and her boo of course)<3 I always have such a great time with them! OH and I forgot, my 19^th birthday [: I was accompanied by true friends from HS and good friends from whom I met in my dorms. Just a simple kickback with them was fun<3 and thanks for those who spent that day with me! Love you guys!

Being away from home has shown me who my true friends are and I’m more than happy with my good friends I have. My family as well has been more lenient with me and has put more trust in the decisions I make. I freakin love my family. Since day 1, they have been there for me to pick me up when I fall down. I always have such an amazing time with them and we seriously laugh 24/7. We know how to have fun. I love the fact that no one in my family doesn’t take anything seriously when we joke around. Sooo many good times with them this year and we will make many more memories as years go by.

Fall semester this year was painful but fun at the same time. I took 4 difficult classes for my major :/ it was insanely hard but I got through it with promising grades!!! [: These 5 months of school was hard but I had friends and family there to push me to keep on going. I haven’t studied so much before…. I got lucky when I didn’t have anything to do and chill and not worry about studying! But all that studying paid off because I got 2 B+’s and 2 B-‘s and 1 C+ [: WOOHOOO RUV IT! during finals though I went to my twins debut without worrying about studying and I felt so relaxed and had as much fun as I could before I went back home to study again. Toward the middle of fall semester is when I received flowers from Sean and a teddy bear, which also had a wonderful not attached to it <3

Winter break<3 oh the holiday season treated me so well! Let me first say how blessed I am with my family. I didn’t ask for anything this year but I got things that I’ve wanted and eyed on. Don’t worry it wasn’t anything expensive, but just simple things. I love them so much. I spent the night at Leannes, my best friend, house and I had a lot of fun bonding with her and her family. I also spend quality time with my GodSisters as well! We have like this yearly sleep over that needs to change because just once a year? THAS WEAK! hah I love em<3 We barely had a chance to hang out and we finally did!! Now… Sean came back to SD for 2 weeks, it was supposed to be 3 but we made the most of it. The first day I hung out with him was pretty nerve racking because I haven’t seen him in like FOREVER! Well I ran into him at the base before he left for boot camp. The first day we hung out I met his familia and they were really nice and welcoming. From that day on, we spent as much time we could together and I got to say, each moment with him was fun and amazing :] Watching him go was so hard for his mom and I. But once I heard his voice when he got to North Carolina and Virginia, I couldn’t help but smile. When my phone was ringing and his ringtone went off, I screamed and smiled literally [: I high fived my family.. crazy I know but I couldn’t help my self. I miss my best friend, my man arot! <33 I’ll be helping his family move to their new house and probably stop by their house on New Year’s Eve [:

This year was AMAZING! Here I come 2012! Many more adventures, smiles, laughs, tribulations, and achievements<3
