Traditional Look Back:

I should have been more active with activities and what not the first four months. In comparison to when I joined FFSEntertainment and formed BETACinema, I didn't really do much outside of school.

On a good note, I was able to meet a lot of cool, interesting people, and was able to break out of my reclusive behavior, even if it's still not all that often! Next year I'm going to continue the trend to not be as reclusive, shy, and awkward. We'll see how it goes.
