_____I do like this jacket that I recently bought. It's quite comfortable and I feel like it looks a wee bit expensive, even though I got it at Charlotte Russe for quite an affordable price! Plus, it's actually a color-- it seems to be hard to find any pops of color lately! Maybe it's just me.
_____So, since many bloggers have been writing about what they've accomplished or done in the last year, I feel that I should as well (even though I have been rather inactive on the ole bloggy this past year)! I actually feel like I have done quite a bit...
- To start, I've lost about 18 pounds since June and I am very happy and proud of that! I started running/biking daily and eating super healthy (it's okay, I won't feel bad if you've been following me and didn't notice a thing-- that just means I was doing a good job at covering it all up. My mom is the only person who has noticed anyway lolol)
- I had my Senior Art Show, went to prom with a lovely friend, graduated-- all that good high school senior year stuff!
- In April, we took a family trip to North Carolina and even went on a Segway Tour with this cool tour guide dude named Wes. Also, we stayed at a goat farm, but unfortunately never saw any goats because the owners were
jerksvery much to themselves. The goats were a lie! - I started college at the University of Alabama; subsequently, I have finished my first semester (with all A's, hoorah!)
- I learned many sayings from the wise Honors Calculus teacher that I had last semester:
"Can you have two shadows facing the sun? No, no. Ghosts have no shadow. He has no shadow, he is not a real man."
"This problem is very spicy. For such a spicy dip, you must tip the waiter."
"When I get old, my face is not smooth. When you are one year old, you can take any derivative."
"The forest is very dangerous; you must find the mathematical light."
_____Now that you are filled with much wisdom, you, too, can start this year off right!

I loved your year-end recap! Congrats on the 18lbs, the all As, the first college semester, the art and everything else.
Also: Congratuations on finding this perfectly citrusy delicious yellow jacket. It is indeed quite fine looking.
You are sunshine, and you look so divine. You really are one of my favorite ladies ever.
I think it's amazing that you've lost 18lbs. You're beautiful no matter what, though. I'm trying to get in better shape myself (10lbs is my goal!) so hopefully I can be inspired.

YEY your back! I super miss you (⊙ω⊙)

i really like it too
i have this bright yellow sweater i got too last year but sometimes i tink its too bright for me hahahwill see
WOW 18 pounds is crazy. i lost 10 last summer and pretty much gained it back ahhh. christmas time is brutal but I'm gonna get back on track! you motivated me ;)
I totally didn't notice you lost weight! But, going back through some of your old posts, I can tell. You look great, grrrrrl! I'm trying to lose about 10 more lbs by my birthday (so, I have two months) but it's difficult, I think because they're basically the last spare 10 lbs I have left. I keep hitting plateaus. Any advice?
You're looking fab in your yellow coat. Nice pick!
Holy cow, look at you doing AMAZING THINGS. 18 pounds?! So great! Also great is this jacket! Definitely perfect for bleak winter days. Looking lovely as always, m'dear :)
