December 31st.  It blows my mind, but today is the very last day of 2012.  I honestly don't know how this came to be, but life simply spins way too fast.  And now, as I wait to join my friends in a celebration of the year that's passed and the year that's to come, I sit here tapping away at the keyboard, watching music videos for all these songs I love listening to and reminiscing in these last moments of a wonderful 366 days.  Soon, high school will be over, the real world will snatch me up, and I wonder-- will I be ready?
