After Summer Thoughts In November

So the last thing I actually posted on this blog was a to-do list where I aimed to do a bunch of cool, weird and funny things whilst it was the summer and I wasn't in college.
Unsurprisingly, I completely forgot about most of the stuff on the list thus making the entire summer a waste of time for quite a lot of the time.
These are the only things I actually managed to do this year:
  • Go to a Youtube gathering [I went to two, so I suppose that's good]
  • Take at least 100 photos [I probably took a lot more than that]
  • Make more Youtube videos [I actually did that, which surprised me! Although, I could've made more]
  • Write a song [it was a Shrock song aka Sherlock Rock. I still need to but it on Youtube, though!]
  • Go to/host at least one party [I hosted my birthday party]
  • Meet people from the internet [the aforementioned Youtube gatherings was where this occurred]
  • High-five a random stranger [unfortunately, it wasn't an old woman]
  • Join at least one new fandom 
  • Hug a stranger [did that at a Youtube gathering]
  • Go to a new place
And that's it. Only 10 from a list of 50 that I managed to do. To be fair on myself, I did make some of the things on the list quite ridiculous, I mean 'Learn Cockney English?' that was on my summer to-do list last year too and I still haven't bothered to do it!
I guess I've learnt that my list should probably be shorter last year but make the list more things that I genuinely want to do rather than things that are a bit silly because then I might be a bit more inclined to do them.
