Unless…
Guess what? 2019 is almost over! I congratulate you all on making it through this year thus far. For me, it has been a wild ride with many changes. I expect nothing less from 2020. I would love to recap some moments from 2019 as this will be my last blog of the year(weep).
January: Although this month was mostly filled with moments that could be considered ‘bad,’ I still appreciate it. Without January I would not have discovered who I was, and probably would have been a completely different person today. So yeah, thanks January.
February: This was a fantastic month. I submitted my portfolio for MSA in hopes of coming where I am now. I was nervous, and the auditions were intimidating, but it gave me so much inspiration.
March: I believe February/March (mostly March) was when I discovered a big part of who I am. It was a big success since I told myself in January that I would go on a self discovery journey. These days I feel more confident in myself because of March. Also, this was the month I got my acceptance letter to MSA. Getting into both things I auditioned(literary/theater) in was a dream I didn’t think I would accomplish. I was so happy, and my future seemed clear.
April/May: I’m going to be honest, I don’t remember much about April. In May I was just waiting to complete my sophomore year with great grades. Plus I was brainstorming ideas for what my dorm would look like at MSA/ what I needed to get. During this month I also got to go back to MSA to meet the literaries. Plus, I went to New Orleans with my mom 🙂
June/July: My summer was mainly filled with vacations with my family. I went to Florida/ Disney World which was a lot of fun. During that time I was gathering many items for MSA. I was so excited!
August: It took forever for August to come around. I was waiting for the day that I could finally go to MSA! I had all my stuff packed up, and made my way to Brookhaven. I was so shy, but my roommate was a big help on getting me used to the place. I remember all the junior literaries sat together at lunch/dinner because we did not know many people. Until we finally made more friends. A few weeks into August my true self showed (a goofy sarcastic fool), and I started sitting with great friends that I had made(a big step for me). Overall, I grew in many ways.
September: This month I found long term friends, and had a ton of fun with them. Although, this was the month that my roommate left(and boy did I cry). Besides that, September was a great time for my social life/ school life.
October: ARTOBERFEST. Yep, that’s it. Okay, so Artoberfest took up most of everyone’s time that was involved. It consisted of getting our rooms together for the haunted house. It was fun, but hard work as well. There were many laughs during Artoberfest. I made some new friends during this month as well.
November/December: These were busy months. November was filled with workshops and revisions. December has been a hard month for me, but I also feel like I know who I am/ what I want now. It’s crazy that I will be 17 December 30. It seemed like just yesterday I was 13. Time goes by quickly, but I will be looking forward to the rest of my time here at this lovely place. I know I still have much more growing to do.
Happy Holidays! 😉
Okay, so, first of all…The beginning made me laugh a lot for some reason; I see what you did there. Thank you so much for going through your year. For some reason, seeing a person’s growth outlined in such a way is very appealing to read. I can relate to a lot, also. I also spent way too much time imagining my dorm (and now, it has hardly any decorations…R.I.P.). I am glad that I have met you, by the way; you are a good friend (see, I called you my amigo). You have grown so much, and that is quite admirable. May 2020 present a myriad of good things. (:
