I don't even know where to begin with this. 2011 was the effing best year of my life, no exaggeration, and SO MUCH happened it...and I think this was also the first time I was really nostalgic to let a year go. Sooo, in no specific order, here's what made 2011 memorable for me:
1. I got my Bachelor's degree (Psychology) and started my Master's
2. I spent a semester abroad in the States. Since this is the biggest thing, I'll split it up a bit
a. the travelling. It was my first time in the States, and the awesomest bit was spring break in Las Vegas. Furthermore we went to Washington, Baltimore, Buffalo, Philly, Toronto (Canada), the Niagra Falls, New York and Chicago
b. the people. I made some friendships for life their. First with the girl from my uni I went with (we knew each other before but this is where we became really good friends), our American friends, the Korean exchange girls...
c. loads of new stuff I'd never done before, including going tanning, getting my first piercing (belly button; got a couple of more later in 2011), the extreme level of partying we did, my whole taste in music changed and just the experience of American college life
3. After I came back, I spent the entire summer in Brighton (England), where again I made a lot of new friends and also got my first job ever...oh, and I visited Nix 😛
4. The Brighton-revival trip we did, where some of us who met there and became friends went to Amsterdam together
5. Guy-stories from this year. I don't want to go into detail, because some of it isn't exactly PG rated, but there were some pretty heavy game changers for me that happened in 2011 with guys...some for better, some for worse
6. In 2011 I started to seriously learn French and basically become obsessed with it
7. discovering and watching That 70's Show all the way through
