Sum Up Your 2011!

[Parker]

I got into my first real relationship, it sucked towards the end and it turns out she's a little bit crazy but I enjoyed the good parts and I learned a lot about life stuff.

In-and-out of depression most of the year leading to aforementioned relationship suckiness.

Goal next year: stop moaning, htfu, get happy

Spent 2011: Trying
Goal for 2012: Succeeding

[Peegee]

Usually I only travel once a year.

2011 was a whirlwind of hedonism. I'm shocked and disgusted at how I managed to travel so much and eat so much and accomplish absolutely nothing of value.

Other than San Diego it was pretty meh. Plus I went a bit boy crazy which is never good.

[Freya]

Let's see. The beginning of 2011 went well for me. I had 3 jobs, paid off my school, bought a car, got a fourth job, finally got health insurance.

Then boys came into the picture. I had a string of seemingly perfect guys this year that either a) cheated on me or b) dropped me suddenly. My problem with guys though is I put a lot of effort into them than they do me. So once I had started back into the dating scene I was focusing on them more than on myself. Which would bite me in the ass when they'd leave.

In march I started antibiotics and off and on for steroids. I had two surgeries in July. I'm still on antibiotics. I have a staff infection that is becoming drug resistant so I can't kick it. I'm down to one part time job. Iost my main income job and the only reason I could afford my car payment was because of the holiday hours.

Overall, 2011 started off well then I dated, which was a bad idea, and ended with me coughing and hella poor.

At least one of those relationships allowed me to have access to visit Justy. Which while the guy was a douche who cheated, I have to thank him for that.

I'm going to focus more on me this year so hopefully things will turn around.

Welp, in no particularly order:

• I started dating again. It took me a while to get back into it since I just wasn't feeling the whole dating thing for a bit.
• I had the opportunity to work on my first feature length movie and I learned many things from that experience. Several things happened that weren't great like having to get Adidas sneakers for a diva producer when ALL of the Foot Lockers in NYC were closed, but a lot of great things also occurred that made it worth it. The best part is, I now have connections to the movie industry in California where I eventually want to venture.
• MTV networks contacted me at the end of the year saying they want to set up an interview. Not sure for what channel yet, but they asked what I prefer so I picked 3 of the top ones I'd like to work for. Here's hoping it's a cool internship at a cool channel. HSI also contacted me, but the lady was always too busy to set up an interview and kept changing the date, so I was just like meh.
• I finally set up my website. I've been wanting to have my own website for like two years now -- Pontus and Stu can attest to this.
• My good friend's aunt got preggers and had said baby December 29th. It has the cutest cheekies ever.
  
  
  So yeah, it's been a good year and I hope for a great year in 2012.

2011 was okay for me. Nothing too exceptional happened, which I consider a good thing.

[Rye]

First half: A great deal of change in my love life, had a three-way relationship, broke it off with Huxley (but still brosephios), had my heart stomped on and shat on. Fell into a deep depression. Turned 21. Had a fantastic internship opportunity fall apart at my feet.

Second Half: Started a new rising phoenix of a relationship from the pile of crap ashes (still going well and almost hitting our one year soon), started to work hard and improve myself. Lost 20 lbs (I'm the lowest weight I've been at since hitting puberty. I'm between a size 2 and 4 now.) Worked on my online business some more again. Got myself on track to graduate college this May.

All in all, 2011 was a really titty year that grated on my ego and self-confidence, but it caused me to re-prioritize and pick myself up. I'm happy with my weight and the people in my life right now, for the most part. I'm working hard to pick up a lot of freelance copywriting work until I have the time (ie: after I graduate) to do a proper internship.

My goals for 2012 are to get involved with an ad agency, lose another 5 lbs, and expand my online business. I also want to read more and play more video games, and make time to see independent films. I want to try and be less shy. I want to try to work less hard in college and let myself expand my mind, because I've come to the decision that I am not further pursuing higher education (at least until my late 20s), and that I want to just grow as a person, rather than a post-grad automaton. A 3.9 GPA over a happy semester if I'm not applying to grad/law/medical school is not a worthwhile trade.

I don't remember much of it. It was alright I guess.

I had an amazing start to 2011. I got to the Grand Final of Open Mic UK 2010 and got to play at the O2 Arena in London! Here's a video of my four-and-a-bit minutes of fame...

I was a bit nervous so needless to say i didn't win but I've had a lot of gigs off the back of it throughout 2011.

After that everything has been pretty much an anti-climax! I did get a promotion at work in September then finally afforded to move into a house by myself in November. That's about as exciting as it gets until my trip to New York in April 2012!

[Jessweeee♪]

The first half was...well I will just describe it as "depressingly MogiDaddy" but then my aunt committed suicide and while that was tragic it brought a lot of good things my way. She requested my father take care of my cousin and left him her house in the will, so my parents took my two younger siblings up to Iowa and offered to rent their home in Texas to Mogi and me for the price of a really troutty apartment and let me keep one of the cars. Not a week later I was offered a full time job by one of my grandfather's friends. So I am very happy with this year, because I am now financially independent and I'm living in my favorite city ever.

Welllll summing up a year in a concise manner is pretty hard but:

• Manatees
• Uhhh that's all I can think of.

[Hollycat]

I almost tried out for american idol this year.
