Year 2009 had alot of great things. There’s so much to begin from. This article is wrtten from a personal point of view. So, I’m going to tell you how 2009 affected me in a personal way. Ofcourse, I could come up with a Top 10 Music Videos of 2009 or Best Surprises of 2009. But I wished to write this, to personally assess myself; especially after not giving time for spiritual thinking. But really, how much can you blame a girl for enjoying life?! Hey! You’re only 16 once a life time!! So, 2009 was exceptionally hard for me. In the paragraphs preceding you’ll see the humanly insane days of my life, and why it was so hard...not to laugh!
In the month of January, nothing much developed. Was still a Freshman @ Andrew's. Yes, just a couple of immature guys bragging about the New Year parties attended not forgetting the the photos actually had them having "Non-Alchoilic beers", and that boys discovering that..didn't see us arounds for days on end. And then the last three months of the academic year means more bunking, more fun, less lectures etc.etc.etc. And making fun of college life were the best jokes of the day. One went like this –
“ A Genius can do something in one day for what a fool will do in 100 days....So as the end of this year approaches....we finish learning our syllabus in a day( right before an exam) what the faculty tried to make us learn in a year.”
February and March was over by then and so was the academic year. And THAT’S WHEN THE FUN STARTS!!! I was finally down with the possibly worst year at High School. Had the minimal friends possible, landed myself in to leads of trouble (which I’d love to share with you for a couple of laughs, but sadly that was 2008) and in high school, that’s a wrong foot to start on. So, now I was relieved. I was away from all the crazy dudes, the politics, the freak boy who stalks me adn the snobs, the jocks and the LOUD cheerleading kinds of groups. (No, we don’t actually have cheerleading squad. Some act like they are though ;) lol)But now, I was free. The vacations were great time for me to relax and rejuvenate. I struck a cord with music and went back to playing my keyboard and even tried the guitar. I tried to perfect my writing skills, but I’m getting pretty much there don’t you think?? I also experimented with Photoshop a lot and used inspiration from friends and just boredom to create some worthy digital designs. You can check them out on my previous posts this month. By the end of all this, I had found many thing I take joy in and it’s great to discover things like this. It’s an outlet to every emotion and dream inside you. Some people take jobs and work hard for the money. They don’t have something to channelize the rest of their energy and soul into, something that has a part of them in it. But, I had,this was like discovering treasure for me!
In June, the last year of high school started. I was again almost friendless. But even though the glorious days of high school that everyone wants almost never comes. I still have no regrets. Infact, I realize that I am a much stronger person than I was. I may not handle every situation properly, but I can learn from my mistakes, a friend told me not to believe that everyone should be like me. No everyone is not nice, and everything is not always harmonious. It’s like expecting a Lion not to eat you because you’re vegetarian!!!
I also, learnt that people must always be taken at face value, not at how they sweet-talk their way into you! Because, the eyes are truly a mirror of the soul! I learnt that you don’t need to be famous to be happy, you don’t need people to praise you be happy. It all comes from within. And most importantly I learned the true value of friendship. What it takes to give and receive! Who really will be there for you? And before I knew it, time had done what I does best; move like the wind-going so swiftly and never turning back! 2009 was closing, but was far from over. My birthday was a blast. I got the greatest gifts and even though the birthday was low-profile I was more than happy. This year will end. And 2010 will be the year to implement the changes in our lives from 2009. Cause, time moves on and although we can probably never keep pace...atleast we had a jolly good time at it! Life had thought me a valuable lesson, many infact.And I may never remember what happened in summer of 2009, but I will always remember the times!
