Comments
Finding a new job which will help me develop my career.
2. What have you done this year that you feel was a real accomplishment?
Made more money and slowly paying off my debt.
3. What do you regret most about this year?
I got lazy and stopped going to the gym. And taking that course on death and dying for fun. Friggin course gives me morbid thoughts all the time now and wasted my time and money.
4. Did you stick to your new years resolutions? If so, what were they?
I don't make any new year resolutions.
5. What was your favourite song of 2006?
I was gonna say Jame's Blunt "You're Beautiful" but that's so 2005. I'm sorta getting my years mixed up as I get older. I don't think any outstanding songs came out in 2006.
6. Which band/ artist did you discover/ fall in love with this year?
I thought Justin Timberlake's futuresex, love sounds album was great but I didn't quite fall in love with him or his album.
7. Who are you most proud of this year and why? (can be a family member/ friend or a famous person!) My two closest friends who both found high paying jobs.
8. Did you do anything new or do something for the first time this year?
I wake up early now instead of sleeping in if that counts.
9. Have you learnt anything new about yourself in 2006?
As I become older, I'm becoming more antisocial. And I don't really enjoy it when people come up to me and make small talk. Some people think I'm snobby but I think I'm just developing the Vancouver attitude.
10. What has your relationship status been like throughthe year? Did you find that "special someone?"
I didn't meet that special someone but I met a few girls at school and work. But I never bothered to ask.
11. What do you want to do in 2007? What, if any, new years resolutions will you be making?
I would like to enter the CFA program in 2007. I don't really have any new years resolutions though.

It wasn't a great year. I hate seeing each year slip by. I'm just getting older and older and I don't think I'm acheiving a lot. It's worse when people think I'm in my late teens or early 20's when really I'll be hitting my mid 20's by next year. I hate looking young.
Starting at SFU after working my ass off at Langara to get there!
2. What have you done this year that you feel was a real accomplishment?
I stopped biting my nails and cuticles. I've been doing it for 14 years, and it was seriously wrecking my hands, so this is a HUGE thing for me!
3. What do you regret most about this year?
Time spent worrying or stressing out when I could've been with people I love.
4. Did you stick to your new years resolutions? If so, what were they?
Didn't make any resolutions.
5. What was your favourite song of 2006?
No idea. I don't really listen to the radio.
6. Which band/ artist did you discover/ fall in love with this year?
None, really.
7. Who are you most proud of this year and why? (can be a family member/ friend or a famous person!)
My friend Matt who is working really hard to get into university and get his dream job. I'm proud to see him so motivated!
8. Did you do anything new or do something for the first time this year?
Started seeing a counselor at the SFU clinic. Something I should have done a long time ago... it's really helping me out.
9. Have you learned anything new about yourself in 2006?
I've learned that I'm happier if I stop overthinking things and just enjoy myself!
10. What has your relationship status been like through the year? Did you find that "special someone?"
Celebrated my 4th anniversary with my boyfriend. We've had a good year as we are learning to balance responsibilities between us, and it's making us a heck of a lot happier! I've also rediscovered how much FUN he is and I'm really enjoying my time with him.
11. What do you want to do in 2007? What, if any, new years resolutions will you be making?
I want to re-learn how to swim because I'm going to Thailand in April and I want to be comfortable in the water by then!
Summary: The big thing for me in 2006 was finding a balance between the facets of my life. I really hope that I can continue to keep that up as it has had great rewards for me and those around me!
Started seeing a counselor at the SFU clinic. Something I should have done a long time ago... it's really helping me out.
I didn't know SFU had a counselling service. Do they offer it to students who no longer goes there, what fees do they charge?, and what type of counselling service do they offer.
I've suffered an abusive childhood but I never ever went to see a counsellor before. I don't really believe in counselling but I would give it a try if it makes me better off.
I'm not sure if ex-students are allowed go to. It is free for current students, though. It'd be worth calling them up and asking! Before you can see a counsellor you need to go through a screening. Basically it lets them set you up with someone who can best help you.
The counsellors there are not doctors, however. So if you would like to see someone with a degree, I'm sure they can refer you to a good place.
I would definitely recommend trying it out, though!

This year has been pretty big for me. I have realized that I am not a little kid anymore and I am a young adult. I now know that I want my degree and I want to succeed in life. I have changed from being a lazy slob to the total opposite. Started to go to the gym, make more friends, try hard in school. So I guess this year has played a pivotal point in my life and it has changed my views.
