I did a year thing a while ago with just pictures, but
seeing how 2012 was by and all a forgettable year since 90% of it was spent
studying, but here are some random things about it without pics:
Best moment: This Christmas day, I was pretty drunk and
surrounded by my mom, dad, brother and one of his good friends that I’m pretty
good friends with, and I felt really really happy. Like, “true” happiness, and
it was something that I hadn’t felt for a really long time while in Erie. Makes
me smile thinking about it right now! Surrounded by people who both genuinely
care and know me for me, not just another classmate. It made leaving that much
harder. I’ll definitely spread out my “good-byes” to friends and family over
the course of a few days instead of the one day marathon I did at the end of
break. That sucked….
-Close second: finally getting my fat ass to the
gym and eating healthy, culminating in 27 lbs lost and a new healthier outlook
on life. Next goal is to hit 10% body fat.
Worst moment: Thanksgiving. Not only was it the first time
that neither my brother or I were home (my poor mom) but I got news that my
friend from high school hung herself the night. I got this news a couple of
hours before I had to go a Thanksgiving party, and I just kinda had to suck it
up and make it through the thing. Pretty shitty couple of days afterwards as
well.
-Distant second: being rejected by the girl I’ve
been chasing for a while. But that’s just stupid personal emotional stuff that
should soon pass (hopefully)
Biggest regret: Not going camping over summer. WHEN WILL I
GO NEXT?????
-Close second: buying a goddamn smartphone for a
lot of money when my dad gets one for my mom on the cheap by renewing our
contract a few months later. What a waste.
I know from personal experience that NONE of you will watch
any of these videos, especially if I spam them like this, but if I had to force
you to watch one, it would be the one under random video from my like list. So
go watch that and then move on with your life.
New genre of music for this year: Progressive
house/electronic
-Why? I dunno. It just tickles me the right way
Best new song I can’t get enough of: Nestae Ray, stay (Soular Order remix)
-Why? FEELS
Best new electropop song I can’t get enough of: Jakwob –blinding (discoKungen remix)
-Why? Dude, the
line “this is the life that you prayed for, but now all of the lights are blinding
you” as well as the happy beat just describes medical school so perfectly for
me. I thought I would meet a lot of like-minded people who would be working
towards the same goal and helping each other with our education, while still
being friends outside of school (aka bioengineering, but medical classes). How
wrong I was! It’s a bunch of self-centered pricks who think they are the second
coming of some medical prodigy. GAH! But I like the material I’m learning, so….
yeah
Best oldie I still adore: Stevie Wonder- Yester-me, Yester-you, Yester-day
-Why? Stevie
Wonder can do no wrong
Best song I’ve heard in the past few days: Bon Iver- Skinny Love and Explosions in the Sky –Your Hand in Mine
-Why? Dunno. They
just hit me. Both are from this reddit thread
Random video from my like list: One Second Every Day
-Some guy went on
a trip for a year around the US and took 1 second of video everyday of this year. I think there are flashes of emotions and feelings that we can all relate to, and it just made for a really good video
Random video from my favs list: New World Order
-Visually appealing with
a good tune
Predictions:
I will pass both boards, hopefully with a high score
Leaving Erie will be one of the best moments of the year
and/or my life
Things with this girl will probably not be over as smoothly
as I hope
I will be clinically depressed and want to stop everything,
but I won’t give up
LECOM will royally fuck me somehow
I’ll miss someone in Erie, but won’t know how much until I
leave for good
At least 2 more of my friends/family will get married
I’ll still be single at the end of the year. Fuck, this
would probably work for the next 2 years HAHAHAahahahahahahahaha.....
Here's to a new year with new opportunities and challenges!
