The 2010s gave us so much, and I don't think we even realize it. So many things happened in these past 10 years that have become definitive events in our lives, and it's crazy to think about all the growing up we did.

We started out as young kids who are still completely under their parent's wing but became adults, ready to take on whatever life throws at us.

We learned to drive. We went to high school. We graduated. We made friends, we lost friends. Some of us went to college, some of us didn't. We went through some of the hardest times adolescence threw at us, but we also made some of the best memories. We grew and started to define ourselves. We began to develop hopes and dreams and goals. We screwed up, succeeded, lost, loved, and learned.

We all had different experiences throughout this decade, but we also have a sense of unity in that we all grew up and did the best we could.

But we still have a lot of growing up to do. The next decade will not have its shortage of screw-ups, successes, and life-defining moments, and I for one can't wait.
