26 Reasons Why 26 Was F^#&%*G AWESOME

In thinking though how to adequately summarize the sheer perfection that was 2010 and the age of 26, I've come up with a list. This list will be the reference point for my next 26 posts. After the misery of 2009, I believe I was overdue for something magical. 2010 was just that. I established and strengthened incredible relationships with dynamic friends--new and old. I ran and ran and ran... I joined an organization to help me get into business school and what I got in return, however, was a network of brilliant, funloving minds. These people study hard, work harder and party the hardest. They're my kind of folks and I'm not sure I'll ever fully articulate how much they have meant and still mean to me. I will try to in a post, however. :-)

So here goes. 26 Reasons why 26 was F-ing AWESOME. As per usual, I've tried to preserve the anonymity of my life and all who are a part of it...
