2014: A Look Back (Part III)

• 30.What was the funniest moment of your year, one that still makes it hard not to burst out laughing when you think about it? Well. It's hard to pick just one... But I'd probably have to go with the time I fell off the stage in my school's auditorium. At the instant, it hurt... But the outcome and how I tumbled out of my fall was something you'd see on America's Funniest Home Videos (yes I am that clumsy). XD
• 31.What purchase turned out to be the best decision ever? Well.  Since I can't come up with a single idea (because let's face it-- I only make good purchases and I never buy things on impulse, psh, like EVER) so... I'll just say this one really nice and soft white bra with pink lace that I just may or may not be wearing at the moment... XD
• 32.What one thing would you do differently and why? Hmm.  A lot and not a lot simultaneously. If I changed something, I wouldn't be where I am today... But I think if I HAD to do something differently... I would put more motivation into getting my driver's license, and pester my parents more so I could actually get hours on the road. 
• 33.What do you deserve a pat on the back for? Uh, being awesome? XD Haha, just kidding. Buuuuuut my acapella group won a cash prize at our last competition, so I guess that's cool (:
• 34.What activities made you lose track of time? I'm about to go so cliche here... But.... Blogging, video games, seeing J, and making art. 
• 35.What did you think about more than anything else? J. (Is that bad? Lol) And school. :/ (ew)
• 36.What topics did you most enjoy learning about? Even though it is the bane of my existence... My creative writing class has been interesting since day one. So. I've loved learning about the English language, I guess. OH and neuroscience. (Have you read Brain Rules? By John Medina? Excellent book. Would rate 8/8.)
• 37.What new habits did you cultivate? Sadly, more procrastination... but hey.  Looks like it's never going away.... it's part of who I am, really.  But I've had good habits, too! Like waking up pretty consistently every morning, and keeping up with cleaning out my email inbox! But sadly, I do think the bad habits outnumber the good ones... maybe that'll change this year.  
• 38.What advice would you give your early-2014 self if you could? I would tell myself to calm the eff down.  Not everything is at #1 importance level.  I would also tell myself to stop procrastinating, and scare myself into complying with the advised methods of time management placed in front of my face.  And I would also tell myself to get active, seeing as 2014 would be really lazy activity wise, and I need more fitness in my life.  
• 39.Did any parts of your self or your life do a complete 180 this year? Of course.  This year.... My workload skyrocketed, as did my schedule... with work... I'm on an improv team, my relationship is past the rainbows and butterflies (it's still good and lovely, but we've definitely broken a level of surface), my dog passed away, I'm approaching serious education time....So yes, I'd say mentally, I've done a flip.  Things are clicking, I am doubting myself.  I am seeing things and people for who they really are.  I'm facing problems that have been staring at me quietly for too long.  And you know what? I'm anticipating turning another 180 this year.  
• 40.What or who had the biggest positive impact on your life this year? Probably J.  I can't imagine my life without him.  He's always there for me... he's helped me through some pretty tough stuff, and his arms are always open.  He's taught me a lot about myself, and about what I want in life.  I'm happy he was such a big part of my 2014, and will continue to be the same in 2015.
