As my 23rd year comes to a close, I feel the need to reflect back. I've been saying for as long as I can remember that I think 23 will be an amazing year for me and my blind faith hasn't failed me. At 23, I graduated from college with two bachelors of science, 10 weeks after graduation landed a (slightly degree using) job making over $30,000/year, bought a car and 10 months after graduation entered the forensic field and moved out of my parent's house into my first apartment living by myself. As I write this out, three hours before my birthday, I can honestly say that my 23rd year was a success.
