I fell in love with New York City.
I went to my first Broadway show.
(And almost threw up during it)
I learned more about trusting God and his plan through prayer and closed doors and opened doors.

I became a bandwagon Panthers fan (and attended my first Panthers and NFL game).
I ate an ungodly amount of doughnuts.
