In lieu of Friday’s Feast, I will write my review of 2007.

2007 has been the best (and luckiest) year of my life. I finished school with a scholarship and graduated top of my class. I was finally able to support myself 100%. For the first time in over a decade, I did not have any homework or school projects to stress over. I got myself an awesome job with one of the most recognized companies in the world. I love my job and the Boyfriend loves my job. My jobs keeps me skinny because of the free gym. I lied. My job keeps me fat because of the gormet cafeteria and a double-dose of Nutri-V Lemon Green Tea daily (we are in the process of building a wall of it). I’m quickly paying off those student loans. I’m happily giving money back to my parents for all those years they’ve supported me. I renovated my room which is now dark and mysterious pretty (it was suppose to sound dramatic but it didn’t work). I had the right people in my life. I let go of people and unnecessary drama that came with many (actually I never had any drama in my life that was my own; only other people’s). I had my Boyfriend to support and be there for me 24/7. I had everything I wanted (to the point that I couldn’t even think of a real Christmas wishlist). My closet is overflowing with bank-breaking denim and tops yet my parents still won’t give me their closet (no, I don’t want to move out yet). I became more of a spoiled-brat than I already was. I ate good food. I read good books. I got a new Billy Bookcase and filled it up (who doesn’t have one of these?) I didn’t suffer any important losses. I was happy. I HAD FREEDOM (well I always did, but I guess this time it was financial freedom).

If I had one phrase to describe 2007:
I shopped the year away.
