Lawlz, It's 2014

Well, shit. 2013 is gone and this past year was absolutely crazy. A more accurate description would be an emotional roller coaster; it feels like there was an endless list of scary and new first experiences. So since this blog is already filled with stupid personal reflections, why not reflect on my most important "firsts" of 2013?

1. My first kiss:

Yeah, I was 18 when I got my first kiss, so what? Assholes laugh at this, but who cares. If you laughed, you probably have herpes and wished you waited as long as I did. Anyway, my first kiss was by no means romantic. Actually, it was super embarrassing, like more embarrassing than a nip slip at the Superbowl. But in all of its awkward glory, it was perfect.

2. My first semester in college: 

Ugh, college. The media glamorizes college so much, but in reality its hard and its scary and sometimes it sucks. Most days I didn't even know why I was there... If anyone knows where I can find a chill hippie commune, hmu. It took an entire semester to even realize its importance, on more than just an educational level. I've learned so much about myself in just one semester, which actually feels really good. Education is still important, though. Don't fuck that up.

3. My first time living alone:

Well, I lied, I have a roommate. It is, however, my first year without my parents. I wouldn't call a dorm a glamorous living space, but the freedom associated with living in a dorm is pretty neat.

4. My first failed test:

Yep, got a big ole 35% on my second Chemistry test. Fuck. That's all I have to say.

Note to readers: Chocolate will get you through almost any crappy day, but it will also lead to fat thighs and self- loathing.

5. My first yoga experience:

Everybody should do yoga, because happiness. Also, you will be toned and feel très chic. From yoga, I grew an ass and now belong to the an elite yogi crew. Win- Win.

 6. My first real heartbreak:

Along with my first real boyfriend, I experienced my first real heartbreak. I've learned the hard way that no amount of cheesy chick flicks and chocolate will lessen the hurt of a broken heart. Friends and crying helps, though. If you're one of those girls who is too "strong" to cry, don't be surprised if your broken heart takes a decade to heal. Also, don't be surprised when you're acting super bitchy and bitter. Your friends might hate you as well, so good luck.

Also, if your motto after a breakup is, "The best way to get over someone is to get under somebody else," and immediately following a breakup you get straight to work, you're tacky and I hate you.

Well, that's all I really have in the realm of "firsts" or at least in the realm of important "firsts". I can honestly say that 2013 left me with the happiest and saddest of memories. Luckily, all memories, good or bad,  give us the choice or at least the incentive to approach life in a brand new way. So for now, cheers to the New Year! I'm so ready to experience a whole new round of "firsts" --- the memories will be amazing.
