the cliche reflective post of 2011

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 17:34:00 -0800

well 2012 is here, and we’re not dead yet! 2011 was probably one of the best years of my life. school was good to me, friendships became stronger, my work ethic grew, and my affinity for music became even stronger. it is safe to say i am sad to see 2011 go, but look forward to the fun that 2012 brings!

with that being said, i feel that it is my duty as a blogger to create a “best of 2011” list. and since the only thing im knowledgeable about is music, here you go!

i went to spain when i was 16. crazy to think that was already four years ago! running through the plazas of madrid, getting tan and mosquito bites in valencia, and impulsively getting my ear cartilage pierced in barcelona feels like yesterday. i became friends with teenagers from all over the u.s. i still keep in contact with a few to this day. spain was the first place i got drunk, experienced a new culture, ran free, and did what i pleased.
