I graduated high school, which I was looking forward to since the day I got there.
Actually went to college, despite my fear of leaving my comfort zone.
I had a job for 2 months, which means I did the interview, even though I'm really shy and have a lot of difficulty with talking to people.
I've been with my long-distance Australian boyfriend, Tristan, for 19 months, and it's still going really well.
I learned a bit of Italian.
I reunited with an old friend, whom I missed very much.
I stuck with being a vegetarian for 6 months, and am still continuing it.

I devise ridiculous and creative scenarios in my head.
People find me witty and funny.

Visualization:
I'm overcoming my shyness and becoming a responsible person. Everything will be better once this is done. I can pass this driving test and be able to go wherever I want, including home during the week. And, with that and a job, I'm able to go places with my friends and not have to worry about who has a ride and who doesn't, and money is not as much of an issue.
