Summary: AP's to college acceptances to Japan to first jobs to moving in to college life to first concert to first 4.0 evar. But really, I think 2010 was one of my major turning point of my life. Although when I always look back, I get frustrated at myself for not trying harder, but I think I gave it all my best at that moment. I mean, I can't but help mention my 4.0 GPA in college (with part time job too!), and my lovely AP scores. I think I developed as a person too, as for the first time, I moved away from home into the single room dormitory, away from family and friends. The level of my homesickness and social awkwardness was a surprise, but through it, I think I toughened up, and grew as an individual. Good bye 2010, it was a good year!
