12 Things I Loved About 2012
2012 has come to an end, so I thought I’d do the typical reminiscent blog post. So, here it goes.
12 Things I loved about 2012…
1. Discovering One Direction- I became a huge 1D fan this year after they had broken the American music market. Now I’m a full fledged Directioner and proud of it. I’m obsessed with them. It all started in March with What Makes You Beautiful and I’ve been in love ever since.
2. Going to the One Direction concert- I did a blog post on that so I won’t really expand on it other than… best entertainment experience of my life.
3. Being A Winner- My cheer squad won state this year, our football team, and OU won Bedlam. All were extremely exciting and called for a lot of screaming and, in a few instances, tears. I’m so proud to be a state champ with like 60 other people. That’s amazing coming from OCS. Bedlam with Allison was just as exciting because it was an OT victory at home AND it was right on the 20 yard line where we sat.
4. Thunder Up!- OKC making it to the finals in the NBA was SO fun. Our whole city and state was so unified around the Thunder and, even though we didn’t win, it was a great experience. I swear Academy was packed for like 4 weeks straight with people buying Thunder apparel.
5. Being a Senior- 2012 was my first half of senior year and it was awesome. I barely go to school, it feels like, as a senior and I have Mr. Hough. Not to mention the state titles that were won.
6. The University of Oklahoma- I got accepted to my dream college and I’ve got a roommate and everything. It finally hit me that I’m almost in college in 2012.
7. Music- Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, and One Direction all had new albums this year. Of course they’re all fantastic, so I’ve had plenty to listen to for the past 12 months.
8. The 90s- I really got back into Boy Meets World and Saved By The Bell this year. I’m a sucker for 90s TV, the fashion trends they sport, and a quality story of boy wins over girl. You can’t go wrong with Cory, Topanga, Eric, Shaun, Zack, Kelly, Slater, Screech, Lisa, or Jessie and I really learned that this year.
9. Pinterest- How can I even describe my love and obsession for Pinterest? Well let’s just say, if we counted up the hours I spent on it this year you could probably by a new car.
10. Jesus- In 2012 my relationship with God really grew. I can positively say that I’m closer to Him today than I was a year ago. That’s a good feeling and I hope I can say the same a year from today. He pulled me through a lot in school, cheer, my future, and I am so grateful. Without Him I would not be the person I am today.
11. Gossip Girl- GG became an obsession in 2012 when I was home sick one day and stumbled across the pilot on TV. After that, I was hooked. I watched the entire show from beginning to end in about 3 months. Xoxo
12. Planning- This year I did a lot of planning ahead. Vacations, college, outfits… I’m a planning freak. I always research something I’m about to buy or experience. I think the older I get the more I’ll become a planner. 2012 was the first year that I really noticed my planning fetish and I can’t say I think it’s a bad thing.
So there it is. I’m excited for what 2013 will bring me and I’m thankful for what 2012 did.
Happy New Year!
