Best of 2012 (because I don't know what else to write about)

10. NCAA Men's Basketball Championship - I don't think I can even elaborate on this one. Go Cats!

9. Snowboarding - It is a family tradition to visit Snowshoe every winter. Although I had hoped to hit the slopes in Colorado or Utah this winter, my procrastination of completing college applications kept me from doing so.

8. Youtube videos - Something new came out every day. From "Gangnam Style" to "A Dramatic Surprise on a Quiet Square", Youtube provided me with hours of entertainment. Call me cheesy, but I can't stop laughing after watching this one.

7. Movies - Django Unchained, Ted, The Avengers, Skyfall, The Dark Night Rises, and The Hunger Games. There are so many more great movies, but these were just a few of my favorites. 2012 was a good year for movies and 2013 is supposed to be even better. I can't wait.

6. FCPS Facebook Page - The trolls are funny, but the moderator beats them all. Nothing like a little sass.


5. Summer at Vanderbilt - I met amazing people from all over the world. I learned something new every day and I had fun too! This camp made me realize how much I can't wait to go to college. There is so much freedom and I won't be locked down and be forced to follow a strict schedule.

4. Completing my 360 hour research project - It's very nerdy, but this was basically the culmination of my MSTC career. After countless hours of frustration and hard work, I finally made a breakthrough that helped me solve my project's question. Phew, I am so relieved.

3. The Olympics - Very few sporting events capture my attention like the Olympics. I think I might have accidentally glued my eyes to the TV. Perhaps the most exciting events were Track and Field (I swear Usain Bolt is superhuman) and Fencing (Yes, I woke up at 5 in the morning to watch Lee Kiefer). Oh, and I also learned that Ryan Lochte is the WORST interviewer on the planet.


2. SEEING GREEN TRIANGLES. I felt like having a party after seeing each one (for a grand total of 15). College is the beginning of life on my own and I can't help but to feel excited to start the adventure.

1. Writing essays for college!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding, that was possibly the worst part of the year.

The (real) best part of 2012 was *drumroll*...........

1. English class *wink wink* (Do I get bonus points?)
