The Birthday Post...late

So every year on my birthday I sit down and think about my life over the past year. I try to use the phrase "hindsight is twenty-twenty" to accurately portray my life. Then I write about the year in my journal and move on. This year though was different. I don't feel like my 18th year of life was that hmm....exciting? productive? Which to be honest, is rather ridiculous. I mean, I graduated from high school! Isn't that supposed to be the biggest deal of your life? Maybe I just hyped it up too much. Maybe I wanted it to come so much that when it did come it  was kind of a let down. I don't know. Anyways, here is the refresh over the past year, courtesy of my journal. Ahemm....
