#30days: The Highs, The Lows of the Year

Hello, Lovelies

Today's topic is: 'Your highs and lows of this past year.'

It is hard for me to pinpoint the highs and lows of the year. I just find it difficult. Normally I have an off day here and there, but sometimes have a bad month all together. When this occurs, I tune everything out lost in my own thoughts. It makes it harder to remember exactly what may have happened during that time. My good days are then shadowed by these day. Nonetheless, I will talk about generally good and bad times/months/events and activities.

Color guard is almost always a high in my books. I love performing. This past summer and fall was a bit different though. The color guard was a ends and everything was blown out of proportion. It was ridiculous, crazy, awful, and rarely okay. Yes, there were some good moments, but mostly it was a hot mess. So much drama, and it really took a toll on myself and my fellow guard members. I still loved performing despite these problems.

Chairing for band was another low for my year. I didn't get first chair like everyone was expecting including myself. I had to do a challenge thing against a sophomore girl to see who would be first and second chairs. We played a 30 measure 16th note run and I sucked so bad. It was awful; I was so disappointed in myself. Then I had to hear from literally everyone about how I should challenge her and get first chair. Blah, blah, blah, I was so tired of hearing it from everyone because I never asked for them to tell me what to do. Whatever.

A high of the past year was when my sister graduated from high school. I helped plan and decorate for her open house that not many people showed up to. It was a good time of celebration though, even if she didn't start college in the fall like she had planned and wanted.

February wasn't terrible, but I always have mixed feelings when my birthday rolls around. A normal low for me, so I wasn't really expecting anything super fantastic. I have had worse birthdays than my 17th, but I always have too high of expectations and end up feeling like no one cares. Which is true; no one really cares about another stupid birthday. Everyone has one, so it's nothing special.

                                                                                                                                   

There is a little bit of a recap of my year. You can read more about my year by digging through the archive. Don't forget to leave a comment on the topic of highs and lows of your year.
