just can't shake it

With the new year in full swing I find myself comfortably reverting back to old ways and patters of my college years as if it has become some sort of resolution.  And while I can't flashback physically it has been so great to relive memories with friends and catch up on what we've all missed out on now that we are spread cross-country.  Recent bonds over bubble gum pink Lilly Pulitzer and electric shades of nail polish seem to balance the juxtaposition of hardships we all seem to struggle through.  I find that friends have become a stronghold for me now more than ever, and discovering that we are all moving in each a different direction and yet still all moving forward is a pretty great feeling. It's as if we're living life together even though we're literally hundreds of miles apart--I love it!  Fitting as usual, last night's episode of Glee had me laughing one second and crying the next, reminding me of so many moments and emotions that I had with friends throughout my four years in college.  While I can't go back now, but I still can't shake the desire to!  And so, I leave you with this (another thing I just can't get out of my system).  I find it's rather appropriate...

Cheers!

It's 2012! Thankfully that means another awesome year with family and friends. I am so grateful for all of 2011 and know that 2012 will be a kick start to something great. Hopefully you had a fantastic New Year's Eve! Perhaps it's that mine was less than the thrill I'd hoped for (which is definitely okay) or just the fact that life is worth living, but let's not let the celebrating cease there! There's a whole year ahead of us, and I am definitely going to welcome it with open arms! xo
