15 things I learned about myself in 2015

Another new year, another great moment to reflect on myself and how I’ve grown and where I can still improve. In no particular order, here are 15 thing I learned about myself in 2015!!

1. I miss being in school a lot more than I expected (it’s a big change since I’ve been in a classroom since I was 3)
2. I’m not so good at making new long-lasting friendships (maybe this will improve in 2016! I have hope!)
3. I’m really not so great at keeping in touch with people – sorry, Mom! (and Claire and friends and everyone)
4. I’m good at customer service and getting better at making coffee drinks (yay barista job!)
5. I am capable of teaching a class full of young children and maintaining classroom management – but maybe it’s not my destined career path? (yep, typical post-grad confusion)
6. A part of my soul will always be in Ireland (and I can’t wait to return)
7. I’m good at baking, and getting better at cooking! (and I’m becoming obsessed with cookbooks)
8. I have an addictive personality (I knew this before but it’s been hard to ignore in 2015)
9. I am capable of working chaotic 8/10 hour shifts at the coffee bar (maybe because of the loads of free caffeine)
10. I freaking love Gilmore Girls (how had I not seen this show before?)
11. I need structure and the motivation of a class to be able to exercise often (yay Pure Barre boo expensive)
12. I’m an okay driver! (licensed driver, baby)
13. I’m loving married life and all that adult-ness (hi Ben!!)
14. Blogging consistently is not my strong suit (so many ideas, so little time so bad at putting in the time that it needs)
15. I’m not as good at dealing with change as I thought (granted, I’ve had a lot of huge life changes in 2015, but still, it’s helpful to know about myself)

I challenge you to come up with 15 things you’ve learned about yourself in 2015 – it sounds like an easy task, but might be harder than you’d think! It’s been a nice way to reflect on my personal growth, and lack thereof. I’m looking forward to discovering all that 2016 holds in store for me!
