One Every 13.03 days! :)

Looking back on this past year, a lot has happened. I can't believe that i am no longer a teenager. Never again. From now on, ADULTHOOD is in my view. ICK

I wanted to see just how i spent my last year, and i found out that i did a lot more than i thought i had. in fact, i realized that i did something new every 13.03 days on average! not too shabby.

28 new* things that i did in the past 365 days of my life

(*these are things that i have NEVER done before)

Looking back, it has definitely been a wonderful year. i can't wait for the upcoming year.. 20. gross.

lesson learned? check.

oh boy. lately, i have realized that i am not the sharpest tool in the shed. i wouldn't consider myself stupid, because i am not, but i sure do some pretty dumb things without thinking about it..  but what can ya do? it's who i am, and i love being me, so why should i bother?
   anyways, to prove my point, i just posted that i was engaged on my facebook status. is this true? absolutely not. but i thought it would be really funny. and it was. for a second. no later than a minute after i post it, i get an overload of texts asking if i was really engaged. typical, for i would do the same thing.

crazy rae

 .... this wouldn't be a problem if i was still in high school. i forget that it is socially  acceptable to be engaged while in college. i really didn't think that one out. maybe, i  shouldn't do that ever again? i think yes. i'm sure people will continue to text me and  comment on my status, and i will just have to crush their hopes of my engagement.. but such is life. what's done is done. :) sooner or later, i will probably take it off, but for  now, i guess i should just live in the moment.
   DEAR RAELA, PLEASE USE YOUR BRAIN. IT WOULD REALLY HELP YOU OUT.
                LOVE, ME
