She said and i quote...

What I learned in 2008:

- Turning 21 is entirely overrated.

- You never know who will come back into your life and who will leave for good.

- Letting go is easier than it seems.

- Family is important, but you can live without them.

- Trust your instincts. They're usually right.

- Putting yourself out there - emotionally, physically, mentally - is always better than being too afraid to even try.

- It's okay to open up to people who genuinely care... and even ones who don't.

- I am not invincible. I'm not my own doctor. I can and will fall.

- Breaking boundaries is the most liberating personal gain. Do it more often and don't be afraid.

- Do not touch cats. You are officially allergic.

Highlights of 2008:

- Being in Stage Beauty with Lindsey and Katie.

- Finding my special place to play guitar, read and write on my rooftop.

- Andy Hebert's party with Lindsey... where we ate an entire bowl of Sourpatch Kids and danced to "Thriller".

- Meeting Peter, Tim and Jeremy at The Smiling Scull and ending up at their house where they offered us icepops followed by dancing with a strobe light to Tears for Fears and The B 52's.
