2013 was quite the year. It was my first full year of working, which of course is coupled with my first summer without a summer break. Even without a real break, I was very blessed to travel for work and play, highlights being Paris, Atlanta, New York, and Chicago. I learned a lot about myself as an individual, friend, daughter, girlfriend, worker, and person. I think the biggest lesson I learned this year was to surrond yourself by positive people. I had a rough last couple of months, but am so blessed to have moved on to bigger and better things. While I still have a lot of things I would love to work on, like letting go easier, harboring less anxiety, and gossiping less, I learned a lot this year that I would not have thought. 2013 definitely had it's fair share of ups and downs, but I am excited to say that I think 2014 will be the best year yet.
