Got admitted to MIT

congrats!! if you ended up going to UF tho we could've hung out

-didnt die from sheer inattentiveness

- Made tons of new friends... on EM... I think
- Got admitted to MIT (first person at my school to be accepted into a top university in many years)
- Passed 7 AP exams (the most anyone has ever passed in a single year at my school)
- My enormously expanded knowledge in Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Philosophy, History (particularly American), Politics, Economics, Art, Literature, and Film (arguably the most knowledge I have ever gained in a single year by surplus magnitude)
- Lack of hesitation to use profanity for the sake of language variety and emphasis
- Learned that memes aren't as shît as they used to be in 2012
- Finally watched Avatar The Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, and InuYasha in their entirety
- Cave explored and whitewater rafted for the first time (second time I have been outside the state of Florida)
- Probably the most important due to increased knowledge of philosophy: started to question and often reject my social and cultural norms as well as my religion. Since the beginning of this year, I shifted coordinates on the political spectrum to become more left-winged, more liberal... and then back to more authoritarian.

Overall, 2016 was a learning experience. (Between the election and my studies.) In 2017, I will attending one of the best universities in the entire world, and I definitely look forward to my future.

I should feel sad not having achieved any of my goals I was planning on achieving in 2016, but I really don't. I do, however, feel more mature and just overall different which is a great thing. I can but hope that 2017 will turn out as good to me as they did for aquarius (which they should I hope).

EDIT: I am already embarrassed of this.

I bought scratch tickets for the first time and won $30
