Rolling the Credits

It’s the last day of 2010, so I felt like I had to post something. This has been an amazing year – probably the best one I’ve had in a long time. This is honestly the happiest I’ve been in years. For once, I’m ending the year with no complaints and no regrets. Because of this, I decided that, like after the end of a movie, I’d use this last post of the year to thank the people that made such an incredible year possible.

Classmates and Teachers

Despite my constant ranting about it, school actually wasn’t so bad this year. This is mostly thanks to the people I spent my school days with.

I started 2010 with the final term of my freshman year, and I’m ending it in the middle of my sophomore year – my two favorite school years, but for different reasons.

My freshman class was an awesome class, to say the least. Even more than a class, we were a family. Though I wasn’t that close to most of the people there, I never did feel out of place. For some reason, all our differences just made us closer as a class.

My sophomore class, on the other hand, isn’t that close as a class – but the people in it are my best friends in the entire world. No matter where I sit, I know I’ll always have someone to talk to. Whatever problems I have, whether school-related (my best friends are pretty much all nerds, hehe) or not, I know they’ll be there for me.

No class would be complete without a class adviser. My freshman year adviser was like our class’s mother. From start to end, she had always referred to our class as a family, and it is because of her that we had become one. In comparison, I’d say my current adviser is not like our father, but more like our friend. He’s a text-mate and a confidante, and is both the bully and the victim when it comes to the occasional teasing. I’ve never been the type to be close to teachers, but these are two of the few teachers that I actually find myself talking to from time to time.

Family

Aside from my classmates, I also have my family to thank for my suddenly positive outlook towards life. It seems like I’m closer to everyone now, especially them. My little brother never fails to cheer me up when I’m sad, without even knowing that I’m crying. I know my twin brother‘s always there for me, and, though I never do say it, I love him. My parents are just extremely supportive of everything I do. I know I’m luckier than most, having parents that trust me the way they do, even if it’s hard for them.

The biggest thank you

My friends and family have done so much for me this year, and I’m eternally grateful for that, though, if I had to thank just one person, it would be my boyfriend. We’re different – a lot of people would even say that we’re polar opposites – but, like with my freshman class, our differences only made our relationship stronger. He made me a better person. I used to be so shy and so insecure – I used to think I was so ugly, so stupid, so imperfect… but he made me feel beautiful. He made me less insecure. He made me less shy. Never before have I experienced tears of joy, yet I’m crying right now, just thinking about all he’s done for me – that’s how happy I’ve become because of him.

Everyone else

Of course, if I tried to thank everyone, I would risk making this post longer and more unbearably boring than it probably already is, so I’ll just stop here. The rest of you – you know who you are! Thank you chorale mates (and Ms. Panaligan!), offline and online friends (and enemies) and anonymous readers of this blog for supporting me, being there for me and just being a part of my life.

Let me just end this post by saying happy new year to everyone reading this! Let’s hope 2011 will be as good for all of us as 2010 has been for me!

That is great that you can think of all the positives at the end of the year. I know I generally am just waiting for it to be over! I’m glad you’ve had an excellent year! Good luck in 2011

I upload all mine to Photobucket because i don’t want to lose them and 2 i don’t want people to direct link it. Easy as that. :D
Thank you soo much. :D Happy New Year. :)

I find it amazing that you can think of these positive moments. I really didn’t like 2010 at all. There was so much drama going on and i just wanted it all to end.
I’m glad you had an awesome year though, hope 2011 is even better. :)
