2012: Best & Worst

With 2012 coming to an end, here are some highlights and lowlights of the past 12 months.

Highlight: Nicaragua
In January I got the opportunity to travel to Nicaragua with some of my favorite business school classmates (and this weird guy named Walt). I had the time of my life and hope to be able to do a similar type of trip soon.

Us + Walt. Creepy, right?

Lowlight: Graduating
I love school (nerd alert, I know) and was so sad that after two decades of being in a classroom it had to end. That being said, enrolling in Wake's one-year MA program was Top 5 best decisions I've ever made. I got to spend time with people I grew to love and care about while learning about things I was interested in; it really doesn't get much better than that.

Highlight: Getting a job
I said I wanted a job in corporate retail in Charlotte and that is exactly what I got. Now I'm saying I want a man who's 6'4, single, straight, chocolate brown, with no kids and a fat paycheck. I hope the Universe is still listening.

Cam Newton at my job. Talk about the best of both worlds...

Lowlight: Getting cheated on
In 2012 I got cheated on for the very first time in my life. To be fair, the guy who cheated on me had a girlfriend who was also being cheated on, but everyone knows you can't cheat on your girlfriend AND your mistress...that's just selfish and tacky and not fair to the poor, sweet mistress. On the outside this guy seemed perfect: smart, good-looking, funny, charming, blah blah blah but in reality he was a dog. And apparently my Scooby snack just wasn't enough for him so he had to downgrade to puppy chow. Fortunately I removed myself from the situation and now he's free to do whatever he wants. You know, because he was sooo tied down before.

Him.

Highlight: Not getting pregnant
When a full 365 days goes by without a sperm attaching itself to one of my eggs, I celebrate. I've never had a pregnancy scare but have been known to take my birth control with tequila shots so there's always a risk.

 Not me.

Lowlight: Checking my MySpace
I checked my MySpace three times this year. No, I don't want to talk about it.

Here's to a fabulous 2013!
