My year in review

2010 is almost over. I'm thinking about the year a lot. My life has changed so much over the past year, and a lot of it was for the better.

My year in review (from what I can remember):

January:
Went to one of the most fun New Years' Eve parties that I can ever remember attending. I can just remember being surrounded by some of my favorite people and I remember I really loved that night.

February:
Nothing special comes to mind during this month. My sister celebrated her 22nd birthday. My best friend and I were both single for Valentine's Day so we went on a "friend date" together to the local Mongolian Grill and ate yummy food and talked about how boys can be so stupid.

March:
Really nothing comes to mind from this month. I'm pretty sure the new Alice in Wonderland movie came out this month because I remember seeing it with a friend.

April:
My best friend celebrated her birthday this month. That is mostly all I can remember.

May:
Went to "prom" (my school didn't call it prom, but that's essentially what it was). I also graduated from high school this month. I can't believe that was only 7 months ago. Feels like ages. I also went to see Minus The Bear for the first time. My family also adopted two kittens.

June:
My parents and my best friend's family gifted us with a vacation in Florida! It was one of the best vacations I can ever remember. We snorkeled in the Atlantic Ocean multiple times, visited Key Largo, went to Miami, spent WAY too much money shopping, and played video games (random?). I loved this month.

July:
Celebrated July 4th with my family. What I remember most from this month is relaxing. I was so glad to be back from my trip and officially done with high school.

August:
Went to college orientation. I was so nervous, yet excited to start this chapter in my life. A LOT of my friends moved away during this month. A lot of sadness on that note.

September:
Mostly I spent this month getting used to college life.

October:
My favorite time of year was quickly approaching! My family and I carved pumpkins (mine turned out awesome). We dressed up in costumes (because we're kids at heart). Probably had too much candy!

November:
My birthday month! A whole clan of my family, friends, and I went to a local bar to celebrate. It was crazy. I will probably never forget that night! It was so fun, and definitely hilarious. I remember I got asked to dance a lot and it made me feel incredibly shy.

December:
Obviously this month was consumed by my love for Christmas. I finished my first semester of college this month, I passed all my classes and finals and I am currently on a 6 week break from school. My parents, sister, her boyfriend, and my nephew celebrated Christmas at my parent's house on Christmas Eve, and then Christmas day we traveled to my Aunt's house where my whole extended family celebrated Christmas. I felt so spoiled, yet so blessed this month. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.


Whew. Can't believe how fast 2010 flew by. This was a really awesome year. So much more happened than I can explain in words. I'm ready to see what 2011 has to offer!

Things do change

It's funny how things change when you get older. I really don't care about much of anything these days. My family, music, the friends that I have left, art, crafting... things like that haven't changed and still remain vital to my everyday life. But I just feel different. High school was such a useless experience for me. I still feel scarred by it. I still wish I could change some of the things I did, some of the things I didn't do. I miss my old friends. I miss the people that moved away. I miss the people that hate me for reasons that are probably my own fault. I have a wonderful life, I have a wonderful family, I have a few wonderful friends, but something still feels missing. Oddly enough I'm ready for next semester to get here. I need to feel like I'm being productive again. I just need to feel something, anything...

Silly things

So I haven't been writing much. Which means I am absolutely failing at the purpose of this blog. I sincerely apologize.

However, instead, I do have a few things I'd like to share with you this weekend:

1.Pretty pictures of food (specifically cupcakes) make me really hungry.



2. I need someone to take me here asap:



3.I think Emma Watson freakin' ROCKS her new haircut. She is just a beautiful, beautiful lady.



4. This is the sassiest kitty I've ever seen!




Sorry my blog has been so lame. I'm really trying to fix this. Have a good weekend.

Sad For No Reason

Today:

However, as I said in my first post, I'm trying to shed positive light even in crappy situations.  Tomorrow is a brand new day with brand new opportunities, and I'm going to make sure that tomorrow is a beautiful and lovely day.

I'm Okay

{via weheartit}

I struggle with being okay with who I am sometimes. Actually, I fight it daily. I do have confidence, but I think we all see ourselves in a different light than others do. I think we all just want to be liked, at least by most people.

I have to tell myself to stop it. To forget about all of my insecurities and just live. I don't want to feel trapped in my own body.. life is too beautiful to feel stuck. Sometimes I think if I stopped trying to be like everyone else and just started being me, even if people think I'm weird, I'd be a lot happier. Maybe this is a "New Year's Resolution" in the making. Who knows.

Boring and Forgettable

Today I did a little brainstorming for some future posts here on Little Silver Bow and I must say, I've got some pretty interesting blogs coming up. I've got so many thoughts swarming around in my head, and I think I just need to write them all out.

A few things I'm planning for LSB:
-Tutorials
-Photos of crafts and the like
-Sharing "essays" I write

Now where to start? I just don't want this to get boring and forgettable. 

P.S. - I've got the most massive headache right now. Help!
