2025 :: My Year in Review

Instructions

Can you believe this is the third year review I've done? And that it's almost 2026? A lot has changed for me this year, so let's get into it! Scratch Achievements: 402 followers! So close to 500 :D I actually started this year with 202 followers, so gaining just 200 in over a year is so epic! Thanks to everyone this year who decided to click that purple button at the top of my profile page! ;) This year was also my 9-year Scratch anniversary! Next year, it will be the big one: 10! The only friend that's still been active is @ljpuppins! We still rp and talk, I've just been busy and trying to make time for other things, and Lj started school, but we aren't going anywhere for a while! I didn't gain a lot of new Scratch friends this year, which is sad, but I will include @Everlark_On_Fire. We've been rping a bit, and I can't wait to see where Nico and Emma go next! Alright, on to my personal and irl stuff! I started dual credit college classes in person on a campus this year! At first, it was really scary, but I fell into the rhythm really easy and made some new friends! So, I only had five classes, and the work was pretty light for the most part. Finals and wrapping up is this week, and next week, I'll be home free until the middle of January!!! I did a Christmas market fair again this year, like last year if any of you remember xD. It was absolutely terrible! I worked very, very hard on my cards, and they were infinitely better than last year. I made 86 cards, all worth about $300, and I sold exactly 6 cards in total. It was a huge disappointment. :( I also wrote a new book, the first in a trilogy, and I'm currently heavily editing it (still flushing things out and adding missed elements to the first 5 chapters or so). I'm super excited about it, and maybe if it's good enough...you might see an announcement about a published book!!! (Maybe, no promises) Also, I got my driver's permit, and I'm driving quite a bit. I am eligible to get my license this Sunday, but I am way behind in the hours that I need, which is okay. Finally, I got my ears pierced in the beginning of the year, and I got contacts, too, so now I'm unrecognizable! xD And, since I'm sure a lot of you may or may not be wondering about the guy I like... We were supposed to play this epic duet this fall, but he is not a heavy practicer at all, so his sister (who's awesome) stepped in, and we were amazing! (I'll be posting the audio on my music account ) Now...I did see him once, and we talked! It was the one time his sister was sick, and our teacher stepped out of the room to print something. He turned around and asked me which piece he should learn in this book we both have. (I got it for Christmas last year, and when our teacher told him, he got it, too, cause it's so cool) Then I asked him about another thing, and we talked for maybe all of five minutes. I don't want to seem delulu or anything, but I am like 97% sure he really, really wanted to talk to me. I just saw it in his eyes and could just feel it. Now, don't worry, I'm not going crazy or obsessing. I'm currently at the spot where I just want to see him and talk to him again because when we talk, it is so natural and great! Okay, that's basically a recap of my year, guys! Btw, I'll be 17 (!!!!) next week! >:) Just had to mention it...xD. So excited to go into 2026 with all of you!
