I decided I would recount some “year of 23″ goodies. There are quite a few things that happened during the past year that make turning 24 a-okay, in fact.
1. Wore the grossest Halloween costume I’ve ever dared to wear while 23—Britney Spears.
2. Worked two jobs while interning at a non-profit and writing an online column, for a while, all with the great intent of finding the right fit.
3. Survived the winter and celebrated New Year’s Eve downtown, likewise a survival task.
4. Managed to raise enough money to travel to Uganda for two months and live with a family there.
5. Got a new tattoo.
6. Moved out of New York and to The Outer Banks in only my car, selling all my furniture in one week.
7. Convinced a restaurant to hire me as a bartender with no real prior experience.
8. Learned to surf and have the scars to prove it.
9. Lived with 27 different people total.
10. Read 10 months worth of the Bible (2 to go!)
