Well, it's official. I have created a YouTube channel that will be pretty much dedicated to gap year happenings. As I said in a previous post, it was something that I have wanted to do for a very long time and was one of my new years resolutions. So I am very pleased to say that I followed through and just posted my first video! 

There will be many more (I already have two completely done and one other idea), but this first one is just a introductory video. They are going to range from vlogs, to skits, to travel videos. I have plenty of fun ideas... :)

This post is my formal request that everyone please go check that out, and subscribe to the channel if you would like to see what happens next.

Thank you in advance for going and checking that out. Because I know you all will (wink, wink). 

I am very excited because one thing that I have really had the chance to explore this year, is my passion for video making. It's always been something I have enjoyed, and this YouTube channel gives me the motivation to further that talent and passion. 

Thanks again, and I will see you in the next post! 

Here's to 2013

A lot happened in 2012. A Presidential election, scandals, new music, movies, shootings, and most importantly, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's breakup. Devastating. Earth shattering really. 

Anyway,my point is, Happy New Year!

Here are some things the I did/ happened to me in 2012:

• I discovered and then fell in love with the Hunger games, Downton Abbey, Bones, American Horror story, She&Him, and Zooey Deschanel. 
• I crocheted a hat.
• I camped on two different islands.
• I started a ukulele band with a friend. 
• I finished high school. That was kinda cool.
• I ice sailed in Michigan.
• I found the Fountain of Youth.
• I went to an Aerosmith and Jason Mraz concert.
• I read a few Stephen King books. 
• I started this blog.

 See, I think it's not really about what you did that matters, it's how you let those things affect you. And that's that. Looking back, it was a good year.

 I guess it is that line of thought as well as the onslaught of "hey, let's review everything that happened in 2012 and talk about it again" from the wonderful world of American mass media that makes me wonder why it's always such a big deal. It is a new year. Symbolically a fresh start. Really time just moving forward. And yet, there's parties, the ball dropping, the reviewing, the counting down of the best of the best and so on. But however you see it, as a big deal or not, the important thing is to learn from the previous year and use that to go forward. As long as when you look back, you like what you see, that's what counts. A new year just means more time to experience and try and do whatever it is you want to do.

For me, that is doing a WWOOF program and travel a little bit and then head off to UVM. And to start a YouTube channel for my gap year. I want to do that very soon too...

So here's to 2013, and that it is an adventurous, productive year for me and a good one for all of you. 

And this year, I will be spending new years eve hanging out with my cat. And family. Because I am just that cool. :)
