I detest typical “Year in Review” posts:
I rang in 2012 wearing these ridiculous glasses with my little sister, who came to York for the occasion.
“I GOT ENGAGED.”
“I HAD A BABY.”
“I BOUGHT A HOUSE.”
Yep, I’ve done none of said things. I’m still living in my awesome bachelorette pad apartment in York city. I don’t have a ring on it. And there certainly isn’t a fetus growing inside of me (that I’m aware of).
But hey, I still had a pretty awesome year full of adventures, successes and things that made me think.
Here’s a list of the good, the bad and the ugly from 2012:
1. In February, I posed with large, industrial tires. And I hung out with ghost hunters.
2. March brought the biggest honor of all! I was chosen for Digital First Media’s ideaLab, which bestowed upon me my first iPhone ever.
4. I turned 24 … and live-tweeted it.
5. I saw this weird-looking guy sitting on his stoop.
6. I did a lot of live chats with cool community members and hung out in weird places.
7. I finally won something.
8. #boyer101
9. I welded.
10. The mysterious bathroom button in Rutter’s.
11. The HoodiePillow. I can’t believe someone pays me to write about this stuff.
12. My first ever long-term project, Risky Business, ran. Co-worker Sean Adkins and I spent months on it.
13. Poop.
14. I molded young minds.
15. I traveled to Newtown, Conn., with coworker Chris Dunn to work for DFM’s Thunderdome team covering the immediate aftermath of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting. If you’d like to see a sample of what I wrote, click here.
You need to get out more.
That sounds like a pretty awesome list. Definitely great achievements different from the marriage centered folks
Thanks for reading!
Sounds like a good year and its yours so it doesn’t have to be like anyone elses. I’d like to hear about the Ghost Hunters sometime.
I’d love to tell you about the ghost people. I spent more time with them than I did with a lot of my other stories this year … mainly because I couldn’t get enough of their stories, true or not!
