First Post of the New Year!

Hey everybody! Welcome to my first post of my first blog...ever! 
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting this page in the start of the new year, I can't even begin to explain how exciting all of this is. As a New Years resolution, creating a blog was never contemplated in my mind before and all of the sudden it just hit me like a train. With that said, I've decided that among other things, the year 2014 will be a year of recording my thoughts and documenting my experiences so that I can see my life transform over the years. What better way to do that than start a blog?! 
So let's recap 2013 real quick.
Pros:
- Going to the National Association of Campus Activities convention and getting pictures with Frankie Muniz and Nev Schulman, seeing noteworthy performances from Bubba Sparxxx, Turquoise Jeep, Kyla "The Phoenix", NBC Diversity Tour Comedians, Nike Pike, Adam Ace, etc. - Attending many concerts this year: Ellie Goulding, Yellowcard, LMFAO, Calvin Harris + Lupe Fiasco (Gullfest), Mad Decent Block Party, Backstreet Boys, Nine Inch Nails - Joining my beloved sorority Phi Mu and meeting a bunch of incredible women and becoming more philanthropic than ever - Establishing myself more as a Zumba instructor/choreographer, performing at Mock Rock, Sigma Cutie Pi and Relay for Life - Pulling up my grades (From a 2.75 Fall '12, 3.5 Spring '13 to a 3.75 Fall '13) -Spending more time getting to know my family line (twin, big and g-big) -Becoming a pool manager and making more money than I would have being a regular employee while learning the stress of managing a facility -Being able to visit friends over the summer with my stepdad's car - Having the opportunity to be an Orientation Leader for the fall AND winter terms - Somehow managing 19 credits and 3 jobs at once (ended up dropping a class and one job ended in October, but at the time it was ridiculous) - Starting a relationship with my boyfriend Evan and getting to know each other more and more - Going to two amazing formals with said boyfriend - Developing on my skills as a Media Production major and realizing what my strengths and weaknesses are in the field - Spending a lovely holiday break at home with family and relaxing
Cons:
- Being away from my family a lot in the beginning of last year - Spending money on useless things and not saving - Going through a hard breakup with an ex-boyfriend - Getting mononucleosis over the summer which forced me to avoid physical activity for  a month - Being underpaid as a manager - Dealing with a crisis in my sorority early in the school year - Not having a car to assist me in daily activities - Getting my bicycle stolen (no more green bike :/) - Discovering beg bugs in my room  -Receiving my first civil citation
Bottom Line: As much as the Pros and Cons were almost the same, the good thankfully outweighed the bad and I ended 2013 on a positive note.

New Years Festivities
It's safe to say that I had a good New Years compared to other years. I went to Evans friends house in the area and I got to meet some of his friends to ring in 2014 with. It was a nice small group of people and nothing got too ridiculous. 
But what's a New Years party without a decent photo bomb?

...Sure enough, I succeeded.

Moving Forward
2014 is all about a fresh start, or maybe even a new chapter in everyones life. I know I've made some mistakes in my life, but I wish to turn over a new leaf and improve on myself and those around me. What did you do to ring in the new year? What kind of resolutions did you make for yourself (and if so, do you plan to keep them?)
This is my New Year's resolution, and whether I post daily, weekly, or whenever I feel like it, my goal is to inform the world of my happenings, feelings and experiences. 
And so far, I'm planning on sticking to it.
