May 12 2008

I was looking at the calendar today, and realized that is has now been one year since I graduated from college back in Wisconsin. It feels like it has been a lot longer than a year for some reason. Anyways, I decided to come up with some key things I have done since then to sort of give myself an idea of what I have done and where I hope to keep moving towards.

So here are some of the major things I have done over the last year:

Left Wisconsin

-    Graduated with a Web Design Degree
-    Finished my 1 Year Internship
-    Said goodbye to all my friends and family

Moved to Honolulu

-    Visited Maui (Twice)
-    Visited Big Island
-    Surfed in Waikiki
-    Climbed Diamondhead Crater
-    Celebrated the 4th of July at Ala Moana Beach
-    Snorkeled at Hanauma Bay
-    Visited the North Shore
-    Ate the famous Hawaiian Shave Ice
-    Worked at a Health Insurance Company for 6 months

Moved to Phoenix

-    Created LifeofJustin.com
-    Bought a new car
-    Climbed Camelback Mountain
-    Went to the top of South Mountain
-    Celebrated New Years at the Fiesta Bowl Block Party
-    Was a cast member in a reality TV show
-    Was a cast member of an infomercial for a health product
-    Went to P Diddy’s Superbowl Party

-    Hiked to the Hollywood Sign
-    Went to Santa Monica Pier
-    Drank in the parking lot at USC

Went to San Diego

Now the real question is: what do I want to do and accomplish in the next 12 months? I think it’s time to start putting together a list because I hope I do a lot more things than I did this past year.

Feel free to share any thoughts or experiences you have had in the last year.
