·I really got hooked on expensive caffeine.
·My grandpa died.🙁
·The local Catholic high school started pressuring me heavily to go there...nevermind the fact that in order to do so, I would have to move in with my great aunt and get a full ride to pay the 5 grand in tuition. Seeing as neither is ever going to happen, ah...not going there.😀
·I got braces. They suck.
·I finally realized that people aren't as black and white as they seem to be. There are many, many, many shades of gray in between.

·Did I mention the high school?

2007 was the year i...

-found out about myself without the pressure. i started very confused about my future career and who i was and what i wanted out of life. partly thanks to the many people at macrumors, i've found out about myself and solved most of the unresolved issues i had after graduating college last december. i feel satisfied now instead of full of regret.

-saw my friends graduate college (good and bad in several ways)

-felt more disconnected with older friends

-saw my old hometown go up in smoke

-lost my last grandparent (but ironically my great grandma is still living)

-still had no job (curse the middle of nowhere and cars)

-discovered that the school system talks from both sides of their mouth (they claim to need science teachers, but didn't even contact me back for a job as one)

-migrated most of my work from my pc to my macbook, 'chipper' (it's probably going to take on all my computer work soon since my pc has been crashing)

-found out that my family is more important than making tons of cash and such.

-found that your college major doesn't determine your life or career. follow your heart, not your degree.

-divorced science (in a career sense)

-felt mature for the first time (i'm 22), forming my own ethos, worldviews and goals separate from my parents and other adults.

-revved up on my social commentary on my own accord

-said goodbye to braves on tbs

-went organic (food), about 85% of our food is organic now

it's been a bit of a disappointing (and some ways sad) year based on how last year ended with my graduation from college. 2006 was great, 2007, not so much. but it was a year of 'live and learn' (i suggest you search for the song by crush 40) for me. hopefully 2008 will mark the start of some real progress now knowing what i want from life and what i'm after.
