Sayonara 2010!

It seems that each year I finally get used to dating papers with the correct year, another year is upon me. Before I get into any resolutions I have for my blog, I thought I would share the things I accomplished in 2010.
1. Janurary. OSU won the Rosebowl. Ok, so I didn't really play a part in this, but it was FINALLY nice to see OSU win a bowl game during my time at Ohio State. 



2. February. I helped Buckeyethon raise over $100,000 for Nationwide Children's Hospital. It was $100,823.09 to be exact. Oh and might I add that we only had $50,000 the week before when I posed a $50,000 dollar challenge to reach our goal... and we did it!



3. March. I traveled to Mexico. You might think I'm shallow because I consider *spring break!!!!* to be an accomplishment for me, BUT it was the people who I traveled with that made it a trip to remember. And it was it absolutely beautiful in Cabo. And the food was awesome, but I can't decide if it was the food that made it a great trip or the spectacular happy hours. What can I say, I'm a sucker for bogo** deals!



4. April. Once again, I helped defeat cancer! I couldn't think of anything that notable that happened in April, except for that a bunch of my friends from BuckeyeThon and I spent a Saturday afternoon with hundreds of other OSU students partaking in beverages in a bar crawl in order to support Relay for Life. So by now you're probably thinking I'm an alcoholic....



5. ....so in May I joined AA. Not! May was a pretty good month for me if I do say so myself. I ran my second 1/2 marathon (see! drinking does not consume my life!). After the disastrous GI track issue after the 1/2 I ran in October, it's quite the accomplishment that I put my running shoes on again in the first place!



I then gained international stardom by starring in a little thing called the OSU Flashmob. People are still talking about.

I also won my first race. It was only a 5k and not that many people ran it, and I probably wouldn't have won if the girl in front of my hadn't vommed and I did pee my pants but I won! I may also that this is the morning after I went to Beat the Clock at a bar (basically a happy hour that starts way before 5) and then topped the night off with margs because I got the date of the race confused. Talk about a champ!

I also turned 22 on the 22nd of May. Yeah, beat that.

6. June. I graduated from OSU. With honors. I wish I could say this was the greatest day of my life, but I was kinda miserable. You would be too if you had to sit in 86 degree humidity in a black robe outside for 3 hrs. Oh and the fact that my best friends decided to move back to their home states which average about 12 hrs from where I live kinda made it a depressing day as well.

 Orientation '06  Graduation '10

and then the rest of the year just went downhill!

well, not entirely.

7. July. My best friend, my sister and I formed the Major League Bladers. No, we don't get together and cut ourselves, we blade together. As in rollerblade! Yeah, we're 22 and 20 but don't be hating because we know how to have fun!



8. August. I got a job! It's definitely NOT, I repeat NOT my career, but it's experience and it pays, so I'll take it.

 Good bye Honey Hut! For realz this time.

9. September. Hmm, this month actually kinda sucked because my sister went back to Columbus for her junior year which meant that I resigned myself to the fact that as a college grad I would be living at home for the next year. With my parents. Oh, and my wallet was stolen. And I re-sprained my ankle that I hurt back in January and it just hasn't gone back to normal. So let's just pretend that September didn't happen.

10. October. I celebrated surviving living at home with my parents for one month as the only kid. I celebrated so much so that I took trips away from home every weekend.


Many were back to OSU.

I went to Florida. And dare I gloat I got a few days off work. Yippee!

And probably the best was that I went to visit my best friend in NYC the weekend of Halloween. It was rowdy all right.

 I mean, seriously, what else would you expect from Ke$ha and a gypsy?

11. In November, I didn't really accomplish much either. I did make a bet with someone the night before  THANKSgiving that I would beat him in the Cleveland Turkey Trot and I did (by like 10 minutes, but who's counting?), so I guess that counts right? I mean I either had some of those gypsy powers rub off me from Halloween, or I just kicked it into gear. I'll go with former.

12. Ah, December. In December I finally decided what I want to do with my life. I know you're probs thinking I should have figured this out a long time ago, but while I do sometimes sit and ponder the mundane, I don't think about Real Life all that much. I probably should though, but let's not worry about what I didn't accomplish in the past and focus on the present. I'll give you a few hints:

it has to do with this city:


her:


and me going back to school!

I decided to go back to school for social work in one of the greatest cities this side of the Atlantic Ocean and I committed to moving there with my best friend. And by committed I mean we made a promise, but that's still legit!

That about sums up my major accomplishments for the year of 2010, so let's have a round of applause!



And why you may think that some of them did not add up to much, that is your loss because I can only see myself going onward and upward from this point! Amen. And Happy New Year!

**for those of you not down with retail lingo, bogo stands for buy one, get one as in buy one, get one free. Yeah, it took me a few months actually working in retail to figure that one out!
