52 Weeks of Trying Something New

I can't believe I haven't blogged since I was away in Italy and Spain.  Guess my life hasn't been very exciting the past 4 months. But now I am back and I am ready to blog!

I hope everyone had a wonderful new years!  I got to celebrate the evening with some amazing friends in the amazing city of New York.  I am very excited to see what 2012 has in store for me.  I can already feel it, this year is going to be amazing.  When I turned 24, I finally admitted to myself that I was a coward.  I was always scared to do things, and I would talk myself out of having fun.  Once I turned 24, something changed in me.  I started to realize that life is for living.  Not working, but having fun and trying new things.  I've realized that I enjoy doing so many different things, and I never would have learned if I didn't try.  For example, going to Europe with one friend and one backpack was one of the scariest things I have ever done!  When we first started discussing it, I kept thinking, "am I really going to go through with this?".  But I did, and I had the time of my life.  I can't wait to travel again to anywhere. 

Starting the new year, I did not have any resolutions.  I thought it was pointless to come up with a list because I always end up abandoning them within a few days.  So instead of starting the year off with disappointment that I can't commit to something, I decided to not commit at all.   And then I started thinking about how I want to try new things this year, and live adventurously.  All of a sudden I started thinking about the Friends episode where Ross decides his new years resolution will be to try something new every day (minus the leather pants).  While trying something new EVERY day might be a bit much for me, I was thinking maybe I can try something new every week.  The only problem is I can't come up with 52 new things to try.  So far I have two things new things that I will be trying: playing on a football team (even though I don't know how to play football), and attempting the silk ropes (like in the circus).  

This is where you come in.  Is there anything you've been dying to try but have no one to do it with?  Do you have any hobbies/interests that are unique or just super fun that I might want to try.  I'm open to anything.  This will be the year of being a daredevil.  I am always so freaked out about trying new things, but once I try them, I usually fall in love with whatever it is.  So please give me ideas!

Oh, and what are your resolutions?  It's day 3 of January, have you kept them??  If you're looking for some resolutions, I thought this list was pretty awesome: 20 New Years Resolutions.
