My 2013 Favorites

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Notre Dame chapter.

2013 was a crazy year… It absolutely flew by (in the least cliche and truest way possible). Everything happened so quickly, I didn’t have much time to record it. However, I can recall a few awesome things that happened and some of my favorite things of the year, leading me to compile my list of 2013 favorites. From getting accepted to study abroad in Bologna, Italy to discovering new television shows I deem instant classics to oo-ing and aw-ing over new baby cousins, this year has been the best yet! I only hope 2014 can top it!

Here’s my 2013 breakdown by the month: 

Drooling over Essie nail polishes in January

Catching up on Cosmo in February

Visiting DisneyWorld for the first time EVER in March

Riding the flying elephants with my bestie

Trolling the internet for some laughs (BuzzFeed and YouTube) in April 

Writing for HerCampus ND in May

The best editorial staff ever 

Wandering the mean streets of New York in June

Gazing at Van Goghs at the Met in July

My New Dog, Auggie, in August

His cuteness cannot be denied

Tweeting up a storm in September

Obsessing over acapella music (and The Undertones…) in October

Following all the television shows ever on Netflix (mostly The Carrie Diaries and Doctor Who) in November

Seriously, genius. 

Touching up my make-up (mostly Stila and Benefit) in December

Well, there you have it, a brief summary of my 2013. I had the time of my life, met some truly incredible people, and lived in one of the most amazing cities in the world. Stay tuned for whether 2014 tops it! 

What defined your year in 2013?
