2011 has probably been the most academically challenging year in my collegiate career. There is no other way to describe it. Honestly, this year went by way too fast for me to even make a formidable opinion about it. I went to some amazing concerts (I already have 6 lined up starting in January!), was helped by a sailor in my drunken time of need, went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (childhood dreams do come true!), spent time with my beautiful grandmother, completed my first clinical rotation, and miraculously passed med-surg one. That list isn’t even complete, just some of things that pop up at the top of my head. Everyone always talks about being a new person when new years rolls around and I’m just not with that. I just want to be a better person. I don’t know in what ways, but I know I want to. 

Unfortunately, 2012 isn’t going to be my year. I won’t have that last hurrah unlike all my other peers. No graduation for me. I’ve gotten over that fact and it doesn’t bother me anymore. I think of my school debacle as a blessing in disguise. I just want the new year to be good to me. I want to pass my nursing courses and move on with my life. If there’s one thing I learned, it’s to not take things so seriously. Things will happen in due time and forcing it will only disrupt the cosmic forces.

I love my being and am content with my life. If I feel the same at the end of 2012, I know I am doing things right. Cheers.
