2012 in Review and 2013 Preview

Well, this has been a pretty awesome year for me. Got my first date to a dance (which turned out to be a disaster), saw Switchfoot (my favorite band) for the first time, and one of the best things was going to Disneyland with my family all year. I also turned 18. It’s crazy to think that I’m officially a “legal” adult now. But, I don’t have my licence, so I don’t exactly have the freedom I’m entitled to, but it gives me more time to hang with my family. I am going to try to get it soon, but until then, I don’t have it! Now to tell you about 2013, which I am really excited for!

Well, to start off, yesterday, I bought a Taylor Swift ticket for her concert on August 24th. That just happens to be the day before I turn 19! That is pretty much going to be the best birthday weekend ever. Well, not only am I going to see my 2nd favorite artist next year, I am also graduating High School! These 14 years of school have been just been awesome and I can’t believe these years have gone by so fast. I am also going to start my freshman year of college next year. 13 also happens to be my favorite number, so it is ironic that so many big things are happening next year. I really don’t have anything else to say, so I will keep everyone updated through my journey next year. And be sure to keep following cuz imma do my annual award “show”

Until Next Time, Alex
