Well, I know I’m a little behind but it’s time to tie a ribbon on 2010 and pack it away. And to do that, I want to recap what I did in 2010 just for my own sake.
My first post of 2010 was my resolutions. How did I do?
Well, here is what I resolved:
- I will refer to 2010 as “Twenty Ten”. None of this “Two thousand and ten” nonsense. I’m sorry, I’m lazy. “Twenty Ten” it is then.
- I will not obsess over trivial things that will change no matter what. I wouldn’t say I wear my heart on my sleeve, mostly because I don’t trust people very much. I’m petrified of seeming vulnerable, which is something that hinders me much of the time.Then I obsess over crap like why people haven’t texted me back. Hello, who gives a shit?
- I will say what’s on my mind.
- I will have adventures. I’ve been doing alright so far with this, in large part due to the messed up luck P and I share when we venture outside of our building.
- I will remain happy.
Well, I definitely had some adventures where I went to Paris and London and Poland (which I didn’t blog about but it was phenomenal). The no stressing silly things? Well, I did stress about some minor things but, on the whole, I think I did a good job of not killing myself over them. Sure, I made a multitude of excuses for someone who didn’t really need them but, hey, you gotta do what you’ve gotta do. I also admitted wholeheartedly that I am a grammar nazi. Sorry. I blame it on being the go-to child for my mom with translations from Polish to English. As of January, I had never been on an actual date but that changed in London, which I didn’t blog about. Whoops. It ended up being one of the best dates imaginable and, eventually, I will write the story out. That can be one of my resolutions.
In February, I turned twenty. I went out to eat at Elmo and had an amazing time. We had dessert at another friend’s apartment and then went out dancing. One of my best friends, P, and I went and got donuts on Valentine’s Day and found our new favorite band. I also went AWOL from blogging for a few months and wrote a post about wanderlust.
Luckily, the very next post I wrote was in May and I had a plane ticket to Europe. Then I changed my blog layout for the very first time. It was a Very Big Deal to me. I also admitted that I have rather unfortunate crushes on seemingly older guys. Facebook and I became complicated and remain so to this day. I still dislike Mark Zuckerberg but I’ve kept my Facebook because of all the international friends I have. Then I reminisced about my second year of college(!!!) and went off to Europe.
I came back to life in August, where I tried to fill in the blanks about July but failed miserably.
In September I discovered that my favorite coffee place had become a Jamba Juice (which I love but still, come on) and I bought cute new Uggs which were actually both left shoes so I had a slight adventure going back and returning them. I reflected on where I was when the world stopped turning that September day. I also went to Fashion’s Night Out where I became BFFs with Simon Doonan and Alexander Wang.
Then I turned in to a horrible blogger and peaced out til December where I wrote about Thanksgiving and Top Gear. While I was missing, I spent a lot of time in Greenpoint with E, a girl I met in Krakow.
New Year’s Eve was spent at my friends’ college where we went out and had a great time. A really great time where the gorgeous bartender told me to do him a favor and drink a free drink. A fantastic time where everything is lovely and hazy and I told my friend to count to 40 so he wouldn’t be sick. A fun night where I wore a sequined jacket which is now officially my Lucky Jacket and I might have to wear it a certain weekend in February although showing up in sequins to the LSAT might be frowned upon.
I’m going to continue my resolutions from last year. They did me well and I like them. Happy New Year everyone.
