Summary

For myself, I believe I will lead my future to do Graphic Design. For this, I'll probably be taking tech classes and art. I also want to be involved in Writing so I'll be taking writing classes as well, like free story. There are many things that I want my future to hold and it's kind of bad not knowing what I really want to do for the rest of my life.

My Holiday

1. One thing that has happened during my break was that my birthday popped up. For that my family took me out to dinner at Olive Garden, there we had the meal of our lives.
2. My New Years Resolution is to higher my GPA to at least a 3.5, meaning I would have to get all A's this year for this to somewhat happen.
3. I am looking forward to better music.

2012 in Review

1. I don't think I have a favorite song for 2012, the reason why this is is because all there mostly was on the radio was artists making horrid auto tuned music about drugs, sex, or money. There are some songs that were okay in this year, but were overplayed because the radio doesn't have that many top "hits" (because the music they were looking for was top artists with crappy music) and they have to overplay songs to keep the radio going. Another reason I don't have a favorite song is because the music in 2012 downright sucked, the music on the radio had a whole bunch of songs that were about 9 months ago, for example "Sexy & I Know It" still plays on the radio, most people are sick of hearing it daily. It's like the radio doesn't know how to pick their music anymore, and after seeing what they were playing on the radio this year, they don't.
2. My favorite movie for the year 2012 was most definitely 21 Jump Street. That movie has made me cry from the scene where the protagonists were high from the drug they were taking because I was laughing so hard. This movie has won my heart after the showed Johnny Depp (who is UNCREDITED) in the shooting scene. This movie was just amazing and I recommend it for anyone who's in for a good comedy.
3. The most important story of the year in my opinion was the School Shooting in Connecticut. During 3rd period on the day of the shooting everyone cried out that there was a shooting going on. This pumped everyone up and almost everyone started watching the new on newly updates in what happened during the shooting. The shooting affected the nation knowing that someone was sick enough to put children in danger all because of his sick mind. It also brought the President to say something about it, which was pretty big.
4. The most important person would have had to be the leader of our nation, President Obama. He won the election twice, some people may disagree about his ways and I know I do too but he's the only person I can think of.
5. I don't watch sports.

Favorite Photos of 2012

 This is one out of three favorite photos of the year because the scenery of the photo is beautiful. The mist from the fallen water adds more interest in the photo making it more appealing to the eye.
 This is another one of three favorite photos of the year because like the first, the scenery is eye-popping. The photographer either added a vintage affect on the photo or took the photo at the right time of day, this makes the lighting makes some of the colors pop out more.
This is the last but not least of my favorite photos of the year because photographer used an effect or took the photo at a nice moment to make the photo look more as a cartoon scene that a realistic scene making the photo more unique.
