This time last year, I was graduating from high school and saying good bye to the place and the people that helped and watched me grow over the last six years of my life. This time last year, I was spamming Instagram with daily countdown posts, feeling a bit stressed out about Final Assembly but also having a blast and creating memories that would last a lifetime with Rusefourteen, the greatest grade in the world. And this time last year, I had no idea what was waiting for me once I left high school.
A lot happened yesterday, especially on social media. Year 12 graduation at Ruse, campaigns for society elections (being connected to both BSOC and LawSoc makes it a bit crazy) and the #libspill, with Turnbull as our new Prime Minister (bye Tony Abbott - make sure you #PutYourOnionsOut friends). It was also my first full day back at university without Law Revue, and I guess it's strange but at the same time life keeps moving on and other things catch up to you. So instead I thought I'd take some time to reflect on what I've done over the last year, because a lot has changed since high school.
