Paige Ann: 2010: you live you learn...

This year, wow... Well, 2010 did a real number on me. It's been a hard, trying year, but also an amazing, eye-opening year. I had some seriously great times, some of the best times in my life, but I have had some heart breaking moments that changed my life (as I knew it) forever. I got closer to some of my best friends than I've ever been before. I've learned that it's important to know who you can trust even if there's only 1 person in the whole world that is trustworthy. I've learned that things change. Fast. Everything you think you know is right might be more wrong than you could have ever imagined. I've had my heart broken. Repeatedly. I've learned I have to live my life, but there are other things more important than my life. I've fallen in love with a few new things: Vampire Diaries, Justin Bieber, education. I've seen friends that I haven't seen in years. I grew out of an old love...

I've learned to appreciate the little things. I've also learned: Family/best friends are THE most important things. Finding the perfect guy is impossible and no matter how hard you try, you can't make love happen, it decides when it wants to. Grudges will ruin your life and kill your soul. Manhattan is my favorite place on this Earth. November was the worst month everr. I really miss my grandpa. A new purse really can cure anything. My bed is my sanctuary. Guys are douche bags (or at least the ones I seem to fall for are). I need to stop worrying about guys being db's. My nieces and nephew are the best! I really look up to my brothers. Being 20 sucks. Concerts (We The Kings, Jason Aldean, Sugarland, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley) and vacations (St. George, Vegas, Jackson Hole, New York City) are the best things I could possibly spend my money on. I will own a Louis Vuitton purse. And I love my dog...

This year I started the Elementary Ed program at UVU. I made some great friends that I will be friends with for a long time-Teacher Fren! I taught my first lesson to an actual class and figured out that I love to teach. I found out that a good GNO can save my life.

I love 2010. I experienced some life changing things. I realized a lot about myself and what I want out of my life. In the beginning on the year Thomas dubbed the 2010 motto to be "You live, you learn" and this year has definitely lived up to that standard. I have learned more about myself in the last year than ever before. I found out I have a lot of things I want to accomplish and I have a lot of steps to take and things to let go of in order to accomplish them. I hope 2011 brings just as many laughs and tears, okay maybe less tears. I hope that I get to accomplish some of the goals I've set. I hope that I can learn more about myself, but actually figure my ish out. I am excited to make more friends and hang out with more 'old' friends this year. I'm about to turn 21 and I am very excited to get out of this boring 20 age... bring on the twenties baby, cause I'm ready... 2011 hear I come!
