New years resolutions are complete crap I think. Why is it that so many people feel like since it's the beginning of a year their lives merit some kind of extreme change? Shouldn't you be changing all the time and adjusting your lifestyle as needed? There's no motivation to make a change because of the date.
I'm sure the conspiracy theorists have a thought on the concept of resolutions.
I didn't make a resolution this year and I've been doing just fine this past month. I did however recently find a list from last year about all the things I wanted to do in 2011, and it's complete bullshit. Apparently I was in an inspirational mood because I wanted challenge myself daily, set goals, and live a healthy lifestyle.
This list goes on and on but it's pretty embarassing.
It got me thinking about 2011, and I realized I've done all those things without needed to think about a stupid list that I had completely forgotten about by the next week I'm sure.
I don't think life can be defined by these huge changes you made in your life, but the little ones that happen everyday that you don't really notice. So lets take a photo journey through my experinces and lessons learned in 2011!
I perfected my Jello shot recipe for my birthday |
I served some of the dumbest people in Winnipeg |
I dropped out of University for a term and went back to summer courses where assignments were "go get coffee and take a picture of it" I was good at that course. |
I went to Hogwarts! (Universal studios counts) |
I drove through the most insane storm of the summer on a dirt road with no cell reception, and waited it out in a random person's garage on the side of the highway. |
I climbed to the top of Old Blady for Michelle to put her first rock on an inukshuk at Malachi! She's a lifer now. |
I drove to Chicago where my friends demostrated their amazing art skills. |
I sat on the Skydeck at the top of the Willis Tower (formerly Seers tower) |
I went to Lollapalooza with 4 people and left Lollapalooza with 4 people. That's an accomplishment. |
Janey and I cleaned out my car for one of the first times since I bought it |
I started CreComm, met some incredible people, and ate a stupid amount of hotdogs. |
I cocaptained an ultimate frisbee team where we learned to play with more beer in our systems than water. |
I learned how to cut corn off the cob |
And I rang in the new year with some of the best people in the world. |
