Alright, sweet. Here we go....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Doesn't the sound of that greeting just make you giddy with excitement for completing another full year on this earth and ready to tackle another amazing twelve months?!?!??!! Ohh? No...not really? Oh well...then let's just get wasted on tequila........
Not to sound depressing, but let's get over it. We are all OVER 2012. It was a weird year. There were countless tragedies going on like political pundits talking about things they didn't know about, hurricanes that did horrible damage to the east coast, and my college graduation ('nuff saind). There were good things too like the successful reelection of Obama, Gabby Douglas pwning everyone at the olympics, and Call Me Maybe. Also my fraternity won AIRBANDS 2012...which at my alma mater was basically a triple decker of sliced Pulitzers, Tonys, and Grammys enclosed in two slices of Golden Globes. (#Exaggeration. But seriously, it was a big freaking deal).
My New Year's Eve was amazing (just like the whole year). Spent it with good friends, lots of food and drink, and more champagne. So I really have nothing to complain about, except my impending fear of things not changing. How about instead of wrapping ourselves up in this post-holiday season induced intellectual coma, let's take this time to make 2013 better than 2012. We are all lucky to be here because this planet was totes supposed to go down the drain like...two weeks ago (according to the Mayans) so let's make something of it. Like let's do stuff different.
I mean, it's a radical idea, but why not? If it's not broken, let's fix it, just to see how it works. I know this sounds weird in the abstract, but bear with me. We all have a type...let's try to break that mold. Date and/or DFMO with someone who is totally out of your comfort zone, and maybe has interesting ideas on stuff that you never thought of before. How about taking a nice stroll in the neighborhood you live, but not like you normally do. Take completely random turns and like explore stuff. You can't get lost...you probably have a smartphone if you're reading this. LET'S GO TO THE LIBRARY, AND LIKE TAKE OUT BOOKS!!!!! (insert sitcom laughtrack here). Let's not get wasted on a consistent basis only to find yourself wallowing in self-pity or whatever you all wallow in out there. I wanna try going out one night with friends, and being stone-cold sober. Let's be honest...nothing interesting happens after 2 am except crying and fast food.
Anywho you guys get the drift. 2012 was year that had a lot of power behind it, but I like to strive for perfection. We can all make 2013 the best. This year should be a year about exploration and finding things out about yourself. So go out there people and like....DO STUFF!
