2012, Oh Wow

I have a lot less to say about the year 2012 than I did 2011. So much happened in 2011, and 2012 was definitely lacking in as many positive/negative experiences, but that is okay. The year was good overall. Here are some of the happenings:

• spontaneous trip to Chicago and Pick Me Up Cafe with a few friends
• spring break in LA with one of my best friends
• seeing La Dispute and All Get Out on May 6th (and almost failing my psych final two days later)
• going to a conference for counselors and future counselors (was the only undergrad student there)
• getting rejected from an internship with Planned Parenthood the day before my interview
• connecting with a friend of a friend and spending at least twice a week with this person over the summer; it's like we built an intimate relationship without the physical or romantic aspects
• realizing that I'd fallen in love but that the person would never be mine
• growing closer with the English department
• growing a little distant from the Psychology department
• an increased interest in issues regarding sexual assault and rape
• many new music findings
• getting my first real job
• finally seeing Kids These Days perform live (and getting to see The Cool Kids again)
• giving second chances, even when I probably should not have
• lessons learned
• etc.

That's 2012 in a nutshell. Not too much. Onward in 2013.
