2012 Reflection

I like to think that I'm going to be extremely busy for the next few days preparing for a kickass NYE's party, I have decided to write a reflection post summarising things that have happened this year which have been absolutely crazy...(for the record: my NYE will probably be shit).

I like to start off by saying about getting fully kicked into my first year of GCSEs and how it has been overwhelmed with exams and controlled assessments and how my life has been taken over my Food Technology coursework - damn my school for making us take a DT subject! IT'S NOT EVEN A PROPER SUBJECT, for those younger viewers, do not be fooled by either AQA or OCR Food Technology, you do not do any cooking that you like, but instead you're repeatedly making a dish (in my case, a curry) until you get fed up of it. Having said all that, I can't wait to get the grades that I want to go onto 6th form which is currently in the process of finalising, that made no sense to most people, but to me it did! 

School aside, I would like to move onto friendships and bitches. This year, I have realised who I can really rely on and my real friend(s), some people will just be jealous of your achievements instead of being happy for you, but through 2012, I have learned to overcome these people and the arguments they try to enforce and to live my life and continue striving (gosh this is cheesy). Also, I am glad that this particular girl who used to be my closest friend has left my personal life as this year has shown me how shallow and immature she is. One thing that I will never ever understand is, fair enough if you bitch about me, I don't really care, I do it to other people too - I'm not going to lie. BUT what I DON'T understand is why people would bitch about me to people IDK and twist the actual truth to make me sound stupid and foolish...that my friend, will come back to you and it's called karma.

This year I have made a "special friendship" (it's funny if you know the story)!

Jennifer and I in Spain

I honestly could not ask for a better best friend. We had our bad times a few years back but strangely, I can trust her with my life (but not my number -.-). For a start, "she took me to Spain" and we literally have the most hilarious times together...BRING ON 2013

I hope that my brother will get into Oxford, Magdalen after doing so well in his exam and getting to the interview stage, I will honestly be so proud of him whatever the outcome and he is just such a great role model for me. I know that he will do so well whatever uni he ends up in and I wish him all the best in Germany in 2013!

Gosh this is getting awfully soppy. 2012 has ultimately made me realise that what you want does not come to you overnight, you have to work for it whether you like it or not. Over the past few weeks I have realised what I want to do in the next few years, although my plans post-6th form might change through circumstances, I know what I want now and I need to get my grades whether or not I enjoy the revision. 

This post has been awfully intense, and I hope y'all the best for 2013!

Love, Nicole
