traditional blog entry

Well, kids, it's the last day of the year, and I am probably the only one who knows what that means! It means that it requires a special entry today. So, here goes.

WHAT I LEARNED THIS YEAR

1. Life goes on (Obladi, oblada. And so forth).
2. The longer you look at a cat, the more it looks like an alien.
3. The best way to deal with life = distractions. At least sometimes.
4. While internationally-focused clubs might be cool on the surface, they don't actually get much done.
5. Sometimes all you really need in life is SpyFox.
6. Surprisingly, you don't have to work that hard to become politically in charge of things. You just need to have the right friends and exhibit slight desire. They practically force you into being in charge.
7. The only way to get something done is to start it.
8. It's important not to make decisions entirely alone (prayer!).
9. My family is way cooler now than I remember them being 3 years ago.
10. Sometimes "forever" doesn't really mean that. Get over it.


OFFICIAL RESOLUTIONS

1. Use my new running shoes at least 4 times a week.
2. Get that internship at CEI.
3. Get 60 credits this year.
4. Help my candidate win the election, or at least prevent Hillary from doing so.
5. Read 52 books over the course of the year.
6. Become the chair of the CRs.
7. Go to the temple once a week.

UNOFFICIAL SORT OF GOALS I WOULD LIKE TO ACHEIVE

1. Get that novel published!
2. Run a marathon.




HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
