So I have decided to do a last-day-of-the-year review questionnaire because I like to talk about myself...
1. What did you do in 2012 that you'd never done before?
Well, I think the really stand-out thing that I did this year was get LASIK. That is definitely something I had never done before.
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I really have no idea what they were, if I even made any. I assume I did not keep them.
(I changed these next two questions because they were boring.)
3. What classes did you take?
French 101, Art History 202 (1500-present), Studio Art for Art Historians, Geology, and New Testament.
4. New food you tried:
Okay, so I am a really picky eater...but I did try bell peppers and really liked them. I also tried tater tot casserole and loved that.
5. What countries did you visit?
I did not go out of the country this year, but I did go to the Oregon Coast in the summer.
6. What would you like to have in 2013 that you lacked in 2012?
*cough cough*a boyfriend*cough cough* JUST KIDDING. Seriously though, I am hoping that in 2013 I will completely know what I want to major in and do for the rest of my life.
7. What dates from 2012 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
August 9th is the day I got LASIK...I got a new cat in August as well...
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
(see question 1) LASIK is my biggest achievement of my life. I really don't think anything else can be compared to that.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Well, I did do something that I find really embarrassing...I don't really want to share that. I would actually count it as a failure and a win at the same time.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I just really don't ever get sick, but I did get my Eustachian tube plugged up after Thanksgiving and that hurt for about a week.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Oh man...uhhh...I pretty much just bought clothing...but I did buy a couple of fur vests that I now greatly enjoy. I also really like my Snow White Halloween costume.
12. Where did most of your money go?
Towards clothes and rent/utilities. I have a serious shopping addiction.
13. What did you get really excited about?
The Hobbit premiere!!!! Oh man, I was so pumped. My sister and I went to the midnight showing in our local IMAX in 3D. It was sicktight. We also got four free movie posters from that event that I am really excited to hang up in my apartment back at school.
14. What song will always remind you of 2012?
Probably "Gangnam Style". It reminds me of my first job, and that was this summer, so I shall always equate that. Same situation with "Tarzan Boy".
15. Compared to this time last year, are you:
-happier or sadder? happier, totes. I finally am understanding myself and who I am, cheesy as that is.
-thinner or fatter? Um, pretty much the same.
-richer or poorer? Well now I have my own savings account with some of my own money in it, so I would say richer, but not by much.
16. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Reading my textbooks..I know that is so lame. But maybe if I actually seriously read all the material for my classes I would do really well.
17. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Well, even though I enjoyed every minute, I probably should have done less computer stuff.
18. How did you spend Christmas?
Just at my house with my family.
19. What was your favorite TV program?
Well I did become crazily obsessed with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" this year, but I also got into Downton Abbey, Once Upon A Time, and New Girl.
20. What were your favorite books of the year?
Well, I can't really remember all the books I read...but I know I did read The Shining for the first time, and that was good. Also, I read Gone With the Wind again and The Hobbit as well. Those are classics.
21. What was your favorite music from this year?
I got super into Muse (esp. "Undisclosed Desires" and "Madness"); I heard Imagine Dragons for the first time; I added a lot of music to my 80s collection (ex. Madonna, Elton John...); and I bought myself a 90s Britney Spears album.
22. What were your favorite films of the year?
I LOVED "The Hobbit", but I also enjoyed "Wreck-It Ralph", "Pitch Perfect", "The Dark Knight Rises"...I can't think of anymore right now.
23. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 20 this year, and on my birthday I went to my one class that day (yay!), watched movies, went to the mall with my roommates, and had dinner and cake. It was a pretty good birthday for me.
24. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
LASIK. I have said it before, and I will say it again: IT IS THE GREATEST THING EVER.
25. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2012?
"Comfortably Weird". Basically, I buy clothes that are comfortable but are strange and different.
26. What kept you sane?
TV shows that I could throw my emotions into.
27. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2012:
"I am ambitious and need to do stuff."
