My greatest achievement of 2015 | 5 January 2016

As my internet is not functioning and I have time to live life like your average human being, I am reflecting on my "greatest achievement" of 2015. And why this is in quotation marks is because it's merely an "achievement." I see other people do many great things and my achievement is not even comparable. But because all things are relative, I consider this my "greatest achievement." And in saying that, it only means there are lesser achievements unequal to that of my greatest but still nonetheless an achievement. And I also say that because when you know of it, you'll be very unimpressed because this "greatest achievement" in hindsight is not really "great."

Because i've already written about this on my iPhone notes and because I am too lazy, I will simply state it in plain, simple English. My greatest achievement of 2015 is when I passed Finance at university last semester. See? It sounds bad. What a a complete let down! I guess I need to explain it so it be justified. But again, I am lazy (very ironic and very related to my achievement).

So yes. That was it. Maybe it's because I "achieved" this in the end of the year and it is the only thing that has made me sincerely and extremely happy for a while, that it's classified as my greatest achievement. I did live another 300 days or so in 2015 prior to my Spring semester struggles but I have yet to backtrack that far.

I guess did travel overseas three times? All three trips were amazing. On two occasions I travelled without my parents. On one trip I was completely without parents. I saw sights that were breathtakingly beautiful and out-of-this-world. I guess I succeeded at uni in general this year? I gained connections to people who commended and appreciated my creativity and hard work. I completely blitzed group work making people plead to have me in their next group. I got good marks on each assessment. I guess my fashion has gotten better? I revolutionised my style and am wearing things regardless of what people might think of me. I don't dress for anyone and wear what I feel comfortable in. I am also sometimes getting noticed for what I wear. I guess i've become a better photographer? I captured great memories with great skill on camera. People noticed my photography and wanted to pursue it for their own. I must say that my insta feed was on point on several occasions this year. I guess I reached a milestone? I turned 21 in October. I had a great party I planned from start to finish. I guess i've realised that while my age makes me an adult, i've been mature, strong-willed and independent even before the number defined me.

I hope 2016 will be better. 2015 was great but again; when compared to others' accomplishments and endeavours, mine were pretty tame. I need 2016 and my year as a 21 year old to be grand and spectacular. I want a miracle to happen. I want my life to change. I want to see myself change and grow as a person. I want to see new things, do more things, experience different things and meet new people. I want to live life. 

Ps. I do love that my writing sounds quite Old English. I've been watching Reign and I guess it's had an affect on me. I think i'm going to get into more period dramas before I jet off for Europe. And on that note, more Europe talk to come this month because I am so bloody excited. I can only guess it will be the only thing on my mind.
