What Has Passed; What Will Become

As 2013 comes to an end, I realize that this year has in a way come to be full cycle. This year, I've grown a lot, gained responsiblity, experience, and friends.

This year, I got my learner's permit. That's a big deal, because I am really excited to get my license. I hope that new year I can get it because I really want to drive and be able to take myself places. Another awesome thing that happened was that I got my first job at my school's library. This is exciting because for once, I really felt that I can handle myself finanically. Plus, it's awesome to be able to have the freedom to buy whatever I want, and to be able to say that I earned the money to do so.

This year I feel like I grew as a person as well. I began to realize that I truly deserve to be happy, with myself, and with the people who I surround myself with. I deserve a chance to be happy. I also learned that I deserve to be treated with respect as well. I feel like this is important in every relationship we have in life, not just romantic ones. I also am slowly learning that  it's okay to make mistakes, and it's okay to finally let your walls down for someone. That's perfectly alright, because some people deserve to hold you. The ones who put the holes in your heart, don't. 

There are many memories of this year that I will always cherish. This summer was by far the best summer of my life. I enjoyed spending time with my friend who was the foreign exchange student from my old high school, however saying goodbye to her wasn't so fun. I enjoyed watching her go through things that we as Americans consider normal. Like, going to prom, and having a graduation. I also had a lot of crazy girls nights with my crazy girls, went on long walks and coffee dates with my best friend, and said goodbye to him as he left college. I got into a huge and stupid fight with my best girl friend, but was able to get over it. Now we're best friends again. 

2013 overall was a great year for me. It's had its ups and it's had it's downs. I enjoyed it overall. 2014 will also be awesome, as the clock turns 12, and a new beginning will dawn upon us. This upcoming year will be my year. This will be the year that I conquer my mental demons, and the year that I finally will get my license. This will be the year that I work harder, save more, and blossom into a shiny brand new me. I'll actually make Dean's list, because I am no longer obligated to take a math class. (which was my downpoint) Honestly, that could happen, or I could be completely bullshitting you guys. You know how resolutions work. Anyways at the end of the day, 2014 will be my year. Even if it doesn't know it yet. 

In conclusion, 2013 was great. But 2014 will be even better. Happy New Year to all of my readers! I hope 2014 will be awesome for you. 

Music Monday-2013

2013 was a wonderful and crazy year for the music world. It was the year of the twerking, of the Miley, and of the Blurred lines. However, I must honestly say that my iTunes library swelled this year. Here's a few of my favorites from the year.

• Mayday Parade's Monsters in the Closet. Okay so I just got the album a few days. Sue me, I'm a bad fan. But it's really good, and I am really enjoying it. My favorites include "Ghosts", "The Last Night for a Table of Two", "Hold Onto Me", and "Angel."
• "Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Rey. This is in case you all were living under a rock, was the love theme from the Great Gatsby. I love this song because it's simple, yet elegant. It has this haunted aspect to it, which for some odd reason I enjoy. It just adds onto the notion of simply wanting someone to love you unconditionally, even when you're no longer beautiful. 
• Cannonball by Lea Michele; Okay so we all know that Lea has been through a hell of a year. This song is perfect for her. It's honestly great, and I can't wait for Louder to be released this upcoming March.
• Lady GaGa's Artpop. Lady GaGa is simply amazing. I've been a huge fan of her since The Fame. Just Dance was my jam my freshman year in high school. Her latest album is awesome. It's so empowering, plus they have a beat that is simply amazing. Some of my favorites include "Applause", "Aura", and "Venus". If you are a Lady GaGa fan than you should definately be listening to this. Like stop reading this blog, and go listen to it. It's that good. 
• Loved Me Back To Life by Celine Dion. Okay, I am a huge fan of Celine. I have pretty much all of her CDs. This is her first album in 6 years. Loved Me Back to Life is full of heartfilled, pop music. I love Celine, and this album surely doesn't disappoint. Give "Loved Me Back To Life", "Somebody Loves Somebody," "Water and A Flame", and "Unfinished Songs" a listen. They won't disappoint. 
• Brave by Sarah Barielles. This song honestly reminds me of summer days jamming with Gabriel. 
• Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke. Okay, I like this song and I am not ashamed to admit it. Have a problem? Oh well. I really enjoy working out to it. Plus, it gets stuck in my head a lot. That can be annoying. 
• Demi by Demi Lovato. Team Demi for life. Her new album, which came out in May is simply amazing. Each and every song was awesome. Demi is such a talented artist, and 2013 was an awesome year for her. My favorites include "Heart Attack", "Fire Starter", "Neon Lights," and "Made In The Usa."
• Crash My Party by Luke Bryan. I love Luke Bryan. I jam to it while I am work. This album didn't disappoint. "That's My Kind of Night", and "Crash My Party"were my jams.
• Royals by Lorde. Okay, so this is pretty much been killed by the radio. But come on, it's so good!
• Nashville. I simply love the show, and all of the singles. I've gained so much respect for artists, based on this show. I am such a huge fan, and each and every one of the singles that were released this year were amazing Catch up, because the new season begins 1/15/2013. I can't wait. 

So those were my jams this year. What's on your playlist this year? Comment, email, or tweet me! 

2012 Confessions, Welcome 2013.

I've decided that 2013 is going to be my year. Why? Cause I fucking said so, that's why. I mean seriously. It's going to rock. Yes, I have too much optimism and positivity, but I've spent too much of last year being a pessimist, which isn't exactly a good thing either. So here's to self confidence, and having a big ego! Yay! However, I still have a few thoughts about 2012. One I miss my best friend who I once considered to be a sister, and although we moved on to different parts of our lives, I miss our friendship. I miss being close to another friend, and talking to them everyday. I miss just being close to them in general. I also wanted to say 2012 didn't totally suck, and that I'm truly grateful for my posse for having my back for all of the ups and downs, left and rights. You all know who you are. No need for me to write that list.
Let's make 2013 sparkle people.
