My priorities were all over the place a year ago.

    -Develop fingerstlye and blues guitar

    - Contribute to #Hubskioriginalmusicclub

    - Whitewater kayak

    - Graduate and attain a meaningful job

    -Improve fitness

Total wash on the first two, though I have grown a tremendous amount musically. Technically speaking, I did shoot some small rapids over the summer.

Graduated, with a better GPA senior year than any previous. Got a kick ass job that has given me all sorts of momentum for future growth and professional success. I can't say enough positive things about my colleagues as a whole and in specific.

Fitness wise, my overall performance doesn't seem to be much improved. I am about 15 pounds lighter than I was a year ago, which I would consider a minor success.

I think the biggest change is in my mentality towards goal setting and goal achievement. I am better able to break up large long term goals into discrete accomplishable objectives. Its really nice not feeling like I have a mountain of things to do. Also, I think as a result of working harder in general, I enjoy my downtime more, and I definitely get more out of it.

With significant weight being given to professional and academic development, I pronounce 2015 s very solid success. I think I'll enjoy my new years celebrations a little more this year.
