The hours are winding down the the end of 2011 and everyone’s getting excited for 2012. What did you guys like the most about2011? What didn’t you like about it? What would you like to change for the coming year?
For me, 2011 has be a rollercoaster of a year. So many things have happened, stuff has changed in all sorts of ways. The beginning of my 2011 was uncertain for me, I had a lot on my plate for the new year, more importantly, the new semester. I was going to try to keep my videos consistent, blog regularly and ace all my courses for the semester. As the year went on, things seemed grey, but by the end of the year, ^__^ there’s that light at the end of the tunnel.
Then I started school in the Spring semester and I tried to make videos as much as I could, always getting Shanele and Ash in on the action. It was all going well until March haha, (trust UWI), then school started getting crazy with lots of work and other personal things started to pop up. However, I tried to push on and started back making videos as much as I could, and then it was finally summer. Time to relax and make more fun videos with Ash, Shanele and all my other good friends! Yay!
As you guys may have realised I had a lot of issues with my camera and lighting at the beginning of the year and during the summer one of my bestest friends, Blackman as seen in the “Blackman look” gifted me with this beautiful handy Toshiba Camcorder, which I would forever be grateful for. Thank you so much Blackman if you’re reading this :).
Not only were my videos getting better, but you could say I had a life-changing summer. When people ask me about my summer I would always say it was crazy or just kind of daze and thing about it because it was a bit indescribable. I had fun with my friends for graduation weekend, lost something every dear to me, made new close friend, and sadly had to grow away from my best friend Shanele because she was going off to study abroad.
I call it life-changing because the series of these events helped me to make a new alliance. One that I’m definitely not regretting. You may have been able to guess by now what had happened as the person did have an entire post dedicated to them. If you guessed right, I’m talking about Tyrell, my boyfriend, and the amazing things he does. I’m not usually the type of girl to go on and on about a guy I like or anything like that really. I’m actually quite private about my own relationships, but I must say he’s different and he’s like a best friend and a boyfriend, it’s really intriguing. Anyway for more about him you can read this post, hahah. He may want to charge me for his “fame” again :P.
The Fall semester has also been hard, I definitely have not been making videos as much as I was in the Spring semester, and there were tons of computer problems this time. But thanks to the help of my awesome supporting group of friends and family I was able to rally round and survive this whack semester. Now to see the results or all the hard-work… meh!
The year is going to an end.. in less than 7 hours. Am I excited for the new year? Not really, there’s not much difference between a year changing and a day changing for me, except fireworks of course. But do I think the best part about the year changing, is spending it with the people who make you happy and having fun together to end and start a year. Honestly we should do that everyday, making ourselves jolly and making good times that last forever in our memories.
As we all look back on 2011 in the closing hours of this year, I’d like to wish you the best for 2012 and remember to look at the good times of 2011 as your motivation for the bad times in 2012 (because there will be those times).
Here’s a quote I need to remember for the new year, it may help you too. (taken from the Tawainese drama “Smiling Pasta”)
“Just keep smiling there’s nothing you can’t overcome.”
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Be safe and vigilant!
