2012.

This is going to be my year.

I know it is so cliche, but I feel as though its application to me surpasses that of everyone else. (Sorry dudes). I worked so freaking hard in 2011 to get where I am now, and that is the beginning
**Cue paradoxical music

I will take risks. Because it is impossible to live without failing, unless you live so caustiosly that you might as well not lived at all; in which case, you fail by default
                       - J.K Rowling

This year I will be starting a double degree:
Bachelor of Design in Fashion textiles Bachelor of Arts in International Studies

After accepting the fact I would never get the marks to make it into the degree, when I did, I was absolutely stoked on life. I think success depends on how hard you try, it's not a measure of intelligence, simply determination and an unwillingness to fail. And because of that, I think everyones success or failure solely reflects their efforts, thus my 97.15 reflects one hell of an effort.

My friends and I have this thing that however you spend your first moments of the New Year is a pre cursor to how your year will unfold. I could not have asked for a better night. Seeing everyone that matters, then watching the fireworks in the city, arm in arm with my best friends. 

ONE ESH NIGHT.

I decided I wanted to start the new year with a fresh and fun change. Thus I went with pink hair. At first I was super excited about the change, until I realised it is really difficult to colour co-ordinate with such a deafening colour, forced to continuously colour block.

Dress: From some asian shop

Bag: Forever new

Shoe: Black suede 

The bestest of friends. 

SCHOOLIES... more like school lies.

SCHOOLIES MO FOCKERS!

Spending 4 days with the most important people in my life. I could not ask for a more amazing Schoolies experience.

1. Cooking 15 packets of easy mac at one time

2. Waking up way too early then having way too much time on our hands for our own good

3. Getting way too serious about monopoly

4. Listening to Lmfao all day..... everyday

5. Not wearing shoes in public places

6. Playing tips in Erina Fair

7. Making the same joke to Eren, that we are going to Erena Fair

8. Religiously watching Honey 

9. Respecting Omar for his domestication

10. Wearing wigs and stupid hats in public

11. Dyeing everyones hair red

12. Going ice-skating despite staying on the beach

13. Adopting a guinea pig

14. Casually staging a proposal in the middle of the food court, followed by a break up because we have nothing better to do
15. Choreographing and filming routines to Pumped up kicks
16. Playing Taboo at ungodly hours
17. Finding dogs
18. Having a diary room and filming everyones confessions

I will remember those four days for the rest of my life. <3

Freedom

The HSC is over. I have honestly been fearing the HSC since I was in year 5, and now that it's over I feel so free. But this new found freedom comes with a sense of loss. :( No more Highschool. No more uniforms. No more running away from teachers because you aren't actually wearing the proper uniform. No more living life according to monotonous bell rings. No more asking to pee. No more overpriced sushi. No more watching students flirt with teachers (actually this could potentially happen in university).No more oppression. No more spending all day with my favourite people. 

The entire year 12 grade is or was alarmingly close. Every individual is so lovely and kind (and absurdly well dressed).

I am so grateful that I have met such amazing people They have influenced me to become a better me. More driven, more enthusiastic, more selfless and more loving. (warning:Getting a little sentimental). The memories of Highschool will always be with me, and in 20 years time I will look back on these moments as the best time of my life. Oh yeah.
