2021: the summary

Another year comes to an end. Can you believe this is the third yearly summary on this blog? A year of challenges and milestones โ€” but also a lot of growth.

What can I say about 2021?

To be honest, Iโ€™m quite glad itโ€™s almost over!

Itโ€™s been a very challenging time on multiple levels. A year of sad news and life changing milestones, but reflecting on them all now I also see growth. Opening the windows where the doors have been shut. Changing directions and paths, and finding out that the answers are usually within yourself.

But not to be too gloomy and emo here, a lot of good things happened too, and looking into my last yearโ€™s resolutions, I managed to tick off almost all of them.

Awesome things that I made happen this year:

  • Completed 2nd year of uni with lovely grades
  • 1.5 years of working as a frontend dev
  • Got my first real pay rise ๐Ÿค‘
  • Achieved my savings goal for this year (actually, I saved a bit more than I planned ๐ŸคŸ)
  • Took active part in creating a mobile app
  • Started creating my own mobile app
  • Learned Ionic, Vue3, React, Express.js, Three.js, A-Frame
  • Still havenโ€™t got infected with Covid-19 ๐Ÿฆ  ๐Ÿ˜ท
  • Seen my sister getting married
  • Sent Hannah to primary school ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Resolutions for the next year?

  • Graduate university with first class honours
  • Release my app
  • Keep working as a developer
  • See my family a bit more
  • Save more money (#housedeposit)
  • Travel around the UK a little
  • Finally see Green Day (those 2020 tickets are still waitingโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ)

How was your 2021?

Do you have any resolutions for the upcoming year?
