I was actually thinking of making a blog like this, but I guess I can save myself the time and talk about my year here. :P

It's been a fun year overall, but it's for sure had its ups and downs. The only loss that comes to mind this year was one of my dogs, Deja, who died earlier this year. It was sad, but I wasn't incredibly attached to her. I went to a lot of concerts this year, all of which were awesome, and I made two new amazing friends who I hang out with regularly, along with a lot of other less serious friendships. I got my license, my first car, and my first debit card, all of which made me feel more grown up. XD I dated three guys, one of which was boring, one of which was great till I saw he was controlling, and the other I'm still dating. I've been having fun with that one, so far.

What else happened... oh, I lost my job for the first time this year! The Blockbuster I had been working at during the summer closed down and left me broken hearted. Not really, but it was pretty sad. I got a lot of free stuff, though. My sister went off to college, which was a sad experience for me. I didn't think I'd get as emotional as I did. XD She's having a great time and I see her when she's on break, so I'm good. I think the most important thing I found out about myself this year is that I LOVE helping the homeless. A club I'm in at school started volunteering to feed the homeless at a church not too far away, and though I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not, I actually turned out to really love it. The people are so kind and funny, and so grateful to be getting dinner from you. It's weird talking about it because I think it's corny when people rant about community service, but I think learning that about myself was really important to my growth this year. I guess that's everything major.

As for girl advice, I'm happy to give advice on whatever I can! Just let me know, and I'll try to help you out. Girls are weird, but it's easier to figure them out when you have another girl on your side. They're still insane, but at least you can attempt to understand them. XD
