New Year Same Me

Quick list of 15 things I accomplished and 16 new things to help me keep track for the new year.

2015

Moved out to San Francisco, literally the last place on earth I thought I’d end up
Lived it up in Chicago and got crazy close with two of my homies John and David. Had some of the greatest memories here…
Got a job at Google
Saw Justin Bieber
Stopped focusing so much on how to make sure people liked me and learned to enjoy myself and started doing things for my own good
Finally bought my parents some legit Christmas presents with my own money
Accepted the harsh reality that I will never become a professional basketball player and I only have myself to blame
Had THE best Korean Olympics performance to date. Finally won a game which has never happened in Michigan history
Grew up faster than I could have ever imagined
Learned the importance of being open minded and less prideful. The importance of God in my life
Ended a 3 year relationship
Continued to follow my gut with important decisions
Got yatted… just kidding but I did get 3 tattoos
Realized that I have the greatest friends in the world and our relationship is going 14+ years strong.
Also realized that I have to start saving money for the 10+ weddings I will have to attend in my near future….
