I would really like to give a non-cryptic recap of 2009, but after much internal debate and Twitter conversations about online transparency (online vs. offline persona) it appears that I’m better off describing my year in general terms.

2009 was a good year. It was rocky at times and I did hit some really low lows, but overall a good year with many high highs to compensate. In the midst of an economic crisis, I managed to get a paid job and an unpaid internship. I met so many wonderful and interesting people. I learned more outside of the classroom than inside the classroom. I had great moments with friends and family. Most of all, I found friendship and love. (Awww, I kno rite?)

This year, I’m looking forward to many changes and challenges. I’ve written an incredibly long and daunting list of resolutions that is so daunting it’s almost discouraging.  Resolutions include goals to be more productive, be more fiscally responsible, practice healthy habits, and reconnect with friends. I’m going to budget my time and money, exercise and eat well, and all that cliche stuff. I even have a list to complete by my 23rd birthday.

Beneath all of it though, I have one main goal for the year: to discover my passion and live it.

I hope you have a wonderful new year.
