🎉 Goodbye, 2024, and Hello, 2025! Let’s Rock This Year! 🎸🌈

-



Hey, friends of "Awkwardly Introverted!" As I say goodbye to 2024, I can’t help but reflect on everything this past year has brought into my life. It’s been a mix of highs and lows, awkward stumbles, and those little moments of growth that sneak up on you when you least expect them. While 2024 wasn’t always perfect (what year ever is?), it was full of lessons, cozy reflections, and memories that have made me stronger, kinder, and, hopefully, a little more understanding of myself.

And now, here I am, standing at the doorstep of a brand-new year. I’m ready to give 2025 the warmest welcome! 🎆 It’s a fresh start, a clean slate, and an exciting opportunity to write new stories, chase after new dreams, and embrace everything that makes life messy, beautiful, and oh-so-unpredictable. I have a feeling this year is going to be bolder, brighter, and brimming with good vibes—just like that adorable punk with purple hair above. (Honestly, how could I not feel inspired by that rocker energy? 🤘🏾)

This year, I’m looking forward to bringing even more joy and positivity to this blog. You can expect more quirky musings, heartfelt moments, and maybe even some laughter along the way. If 2024 taught me anything, it’s that it’s okay to embrace the chaos and imperfection of life because that’s where the best stories are born. Here’s to celebrating those perfectly imperfect moments together! 😊

As I embark on this journey into 2025, I want to leave you with a few little reminders to carry into the new year:
🌟 Dream big: Even if your dreams feel scary or far-fetched, they’re worth pursuing.
🌟 Stay true to yourself: The world needs your unique perspective, quirks, and quiet strength.
🌟 Celebrate the small wins: They matter just as much as the big ones.

For me, this blog is one of those small wins that has grown into something so much more. THANK YOU for being here with me, whether you’ve been a loyal reader for years or just stumbled across "Awkwardly Introverted" today. Your presence, your kind comments, and your support mean more to me than words can say. You’ve helped turn this little space into a community that I cherish deeply. 💜

So, here’s to 2025:
🎆 Big dreams and even bigger laughs!
🎆 Rocking out (in your own unique style) whenever life gets loud.
🎆 Celebrating the introverted and awkward moments that make us human.

Let’s make this year one to remember, filled with happiness, creativity, and moments of unapologetic joy. I’m so excited for everything 2025 has to offer, and I can’t wait to share it all with you here on the blog. Cheers to being your beautifully unique self and to the adventures ahead! 🥂

Oh, and in case you missed it: surviving another Trump presidency. 😂 Buckle up, y’all—it’s gonna be a long, wild ride for the next 4 years. SMH 🤦🏾‍♀️

Wishing you love, laughter, and ALL the good vibes this year. Let’s make 2025 absolutely amazing, one happy little moment at a time. 🎉

With love and gratitude,
Awkwardly Introverted

Missing You, Mark: Life Just Isn’t the Same Without You

It’s hard to put into words how much I miss my best friend, Mark Williams Jr. 💔 He would’ve turned 36 on October 9, and it feels strange celebrating his birthday in Greece without him here. We met when I was 14, and from that moment on, we were inseparable—literally attached at the hip. I used to call him my “gentle giant” because that’s exactly who he was. We both were a little awkward, a little shy, but somehow we just clicked. He made everything easier, and we understood each other’s quirks in a way nobody else could. Mark was the first of us to get his driver’s license. We used to laugh about how neither of us ever really had a relationship, mostly because he was so shy around girls. I wasn’t much better, to be honest. But those things never mattered because we always had each other. As we got older, life started getting in the way, and adult responsibilities pulled us in different directions. Still, I cherished every text, every corny joke, and every silly story about his string ...

Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey

  Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey New Jersey, a state we usually associate with urban life, shorelines, and lush parks, has been hit with an unexpected and dangerous crisis. Wildfires have broken out across the state, with major incidents reported in both urban and natural areas. This is not something we're used to seeing here, but it’s become a reality we can no longer ignore. In West Milford’s Jennings Creek, a massive wildfire has already scorched over 3,000 acres, threatening nearby homes, structures, and closing down local roads. The blaze is only 10% contained, and firefighters are working tirelessly to prevent further spread. But this isn't just limited to rural areas—there's been another blaze closer to more populated regions. As smoky air fills neighborhoods, it’s becoming more evident that wildfires don’t only happen "somewhere else." The origin of the fire in West Milford has reportedly been linked to human activity, with one person alleged...

Diary of a Chaotic Day: Math, Figma, Funky Classmates, and a Walmart Surprise

lol this ai pic is so funny 😂  Late Post: Written on November 14, 2024 Today was… something, to say the least. It all started with a brutal math quiz 🧮 ➗ that, for some reason, my professor thought could be done in 20 minutes—without a calculator. Seriously? Twenty minutes to solve problems like: • p² + 11p + 30 = (p + 5)(p + 6) • b² + 8b + 15 = (b + 3)(b + 5) • 36 - 25t² = (6 - 5t)(6 + 5t) These aren’t your basic addition problems—factorizing on paper is a whole other struggle! Tackling them without any kind of help was impossible 🤯. Math class feels like my personal downfall, but I’m powering through as best as I can 💪🏾. After surviving that, I treated myself to some Green Day coffee ☕ and mini tacos 🌮 with a kick! The coffee was heaven—Green Day’s got a way of summing things up with  “American Idiot”  and how we’re living in  “Troubled Times.” Then I went to the library to work… or at least tried to. I ended up people-watching 👀, sipping my coffee, and star...
