1: What did you do in 2013 that you’d never done before? Acquired a job. Granted it pays shit and has zero benefits and is temp, but it's in my field and I actually do productive shit. Flew somewhere by myself. Without a parent. I AM AN ADULT.
2: Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I tried to be happier and guess what, I was happier. Next year, be productive.

7: What dates from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Idk.
8: What was your biggest achievement of the year? I acquired a job????

18: What do you wish you’d done more of? Put in more effort in life.
19: What do you wish you’d done less of? Slacking off and buying food.
20: How did you spend Christmas? I'll spend christmas existing.

30: How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2013? I learned what layers are.
