2008 was a crazy year. That's the only way to describe it. It was the best and worst year of my life so far. Let's see what happened to me...I got legal, ditched all my HS friends, moved to LA, went to my first strip club, lived in my first apt, got extremely depressed, worked at a dry cleaner's, started blogging for Missbehave, broke up with my bf twice, had my first drink at a bar, bought really cute clothes, went to my first LA party, got on Shadowscene twice, and stayed out till 6 am.It was b-a-n-a-n-a-s.
But like they always say, hindsight is 20/20, and now that 2008 is one day from drawing to a close, I find myself more easily putting things into perspective. So, with that, these are my takeaways from '08:
1. Never bite the hand that feeds you unless you can feed yourself.
2. You really, really, really can do anything you set your mind to.
3. Nothing that you don't have a passion or even interest for is worth doing.
4. The world is only open to give you everything if you are open to receiving it.
5. Everything happens for a reason.
6. Setbacks and disappointments are actually opportunities in disguise.
7. Be cool. Be confident. Be humble. Be ready. Be you. (Actually I think I might write that on something)
What happened to you? What did you guys learn? We've all done some pretty noteworthy things this year. Share!

I did some REALLY crazy shit this year for the first time. I've been thinking about it, I think I'll either post it here or on my own blog.
I agree with all those things you wrote, as it's all stuff I really need to hear. #8 is super slogany, advertisey. It seems like the slogan for some really intense reality show.
I learned that, you know what? I don't mind Paris Hilton so much as I used to. She's fun.
I learned that I actually LEARNED in school this year. Just last week I realized I can bullshit the French Revolution BELIEVABLY. I've never been so proud of paying attention in school...
I learned more. I forget what, don't feel like going into it yet. I have too much to ponder.
