Otome Tag Game

Borrowed from @amrryga (pardon my audacity)

1- Which otome game is your fav?

Wizardess Heart, I started playing since I grew up bored of waiting for new episodes from MCL and I didn’t think I would like it this much!!!

2- Which otome did you start playing but stopped and why?

Eldarya, too many reasons to list in all what happened in four years, but is that game with soo much potential and I was waiting for things getting interesting, knowing more places, more magical creatures and to get real substance not just filler episodes and well... at the end my friends and I were mostly playing for the closet and events and not for the story anymore (I get stuck around episode 16). Then got my account suspended and my BFF too soo what’s the point? All really get worse from there and I’m still surprised that people keep supporting the game after all the shit show. We just move on to other games where we feel more satisfied and my money more worthy of spend of.

3- The otome you spent the most on?

Wizardess Heart, seconded by Midnight Cinderella.

4- Why do you like otome games?

For comfort. Also I get bored really easy so is a good place to escape when I have ten minutes to kill.

5- Your favorite arc

"The Spring of Unicorns” from Wizardess Heart, was the first arc I played from that game (I guess is my fav since I already almost get all the endings from the three routes haha). The story was really interesting and is the one I remember the most and also features Klaus, Randy and Azusa who are three of the most popular/mysterious guys of the game.

6- Your least favorite arc

Y’all remember... in Eldarya when we have to go back and forth from Balenvia like... who knows how many times try to save the day just so people still die? YIKES!

7- Favorite side character

Morgan and Chani (MCL)

Amelia, Augustus and Scarlett (Wizardess Heart)

Headmaster Randolph and Professor Schuyler deserve a spot here <3

8- Favorite LI based on design

Finn (Blood in Roses) He’s design is incredible!

Ioannis (Blood in Roses) When you’re beautiful with a square personality.

Spade (Blood in Roses) Our favorite cat boy <3

Bridget (Blood in Roses) She looks terrific in season 2 <3

Azusa Kuze (Wizardess Heart) The very reason I pick him.

Leon (Wizardess Heart) He is so beautiful like a porcelain doll.

Guy Brighton (Wizardess Heart) I love his kitty smile <3

Hugo Peers (Wizardess Heart) Like Leon but with a upgrade!

9- Favorite LI based on personality

Sigurd Curtis (Wizardess Heart) The most underrated character of this game, I would never get bored with him on my side <3

Klaus Goldstein (Wizardess Heart) He is an asshole and I love him <3

Randy (Wizardess Heart) A sunshine <3

Daniel (Blood in Roses) He’s like a puppy, he is really sweet.

Sascha (Blood in Roses) He totally was winning my heart <3

Skeletiano (The Niflheim) THE BEST SKELETON OF THE WORLD <3

Priya (MCL) My wife <3

Lysandro (MCL) One of the best boys <3

There is like soo many (?)

10- Favorite MC based on design

I think Isabella from “The Niflheim”

11- Favorite MC based on personality

Liz Hart (Wizardess Heart) honestly she grew on me. I like her the most when the night class arc comes because she matured A TON, but still when she was a really dumbass clumsy wizardess, she have soo many good things and she always stays true to herself and she only becomes better. I think because she have a really specific and defined personality is very easy to see her as a fully developed character and not a empty shell to self insert on her.

Hunter MC (Blood In Roses) Like she is really smart and fully capable of survive and defend herself that sometimes I DON’T GET WHY PEOPLE HATE HER! (Is because all the pinky on her design?) but the fact that she don’t need to depend much on others and that she can fight is what I like of her.

“Alice” (Lost Alice) Is my friends fault that I know her and honestly... she is great? She is also very independent and instead of whining, she is totally capable of look and stand for herself, she is osom <3

12- Most despised character

I would say... Azusa Kuze (Wizardess Heart) for obvious reasons (?) is not like I hate him that much, like I need to write about him to make justice on him, but he comes as really awful in his main route and I really was having a terrible time playing it.

If I have to pick another one... Cerim Leiado (Wizardess Heart) in his main route too. I don’t even understand how I manage to get the happy and normal ending, but in my time playing him I just wanted to run in the arms of good boi Guy <3. Cerim was really moody... and his reactions feel like really out of proportion (like asking you your fav food makes you this mad? for real?) and also he slammed MC against a wall... so YIKES!

13- Which character looks like you?

I don’t think any character looks like me hahaha. The character I relate on personality the most is Klaus Goldstein (Wizardess Heart) so looks like I’m an asshole lol but I think is the very reason why I like him so much, because I can relate to him and I understand him, so looks like I’m very clumsy showing my emotions but I also really care so much about people.

14- Who could you date IRL?

ALBERT BURCKHARDT FROM MIDNIGHT CINDERELLA <3

EVERYONE GO HOME!!!

But Also I would love to date Sigurd or Klaus :P

15- Favorite illustration

This is really hard? I would pick three from my favorite boi Klaus because he was the very first character I liked from Wizardess and what I got to feel with those Illustrations haven’t changed at all:

Like this picture get me so flustered the first time! OMG! The audacity!

The most sweetest picture ever from this two <3

This should be my favorite event picture from him because the quality looks exceptional and Klaus just looks gorgeous and god knows his face has passed for many hands!

I’ll tag everyone who plays otome games so you’re welcome!

Ask the authors: An innovative approach to learning the court’s biggest cases

Textbooks of constitutional law have, for decades, followed a similar pattern in their quest to help law students synthesize a surfeit of Supreme Court decisions. In their new multimedia platform, “An Introduction to Constitutional Law: 100 Supreme Court Cases Everyone Should Know” (Wolters Kluwer, 2019), Professors Randy Barnett and Josh Blackman take a different approach.

Most of the cases covered in “100 Supreme Court Cases” are traditionally taught in law school. But some are not, and the book has a wider aim: to present an overview of the most significant decisions from our nation’s highest court, in a way accessible to law students and the general public alike. The accompanying 11-hour video library includes short clips for each case, which average about 10 minutes in length. These resources both complement the text and present a novel way of learning the material.

The authors were kind enough to answer questions about “100 Supreme Court Cases” for the blog. Welcome, Randy and Josh, and thank you for doing this.

***

Question: Can you tell us how this project came about?

Josh: In 2016, Randy invited me to be a co-author on his constitutional law casebook, “Constitutional Law: Cases in Context.” I accepted this opportunity of a lifetime, and — as I am wont to do — quickly proposed another project: to develop a series of videos to teach students about the most important cases in the constitutional canon. These films would incorporate photographs of the parties, as well as audio from oral arguments and opinion announcements. Students would even be able to binge watch a semester of constitutional law in a single sitting. Randy enthusiastically backed the project.

Randy: Once we were into the project of writing and producing the videos — which took two years to accomplish — we decided that we had something that was too important to confine to law students whose professors adopted our casebook. So the idea of a free-standing book was born to enable anyone to gain convenient access to the videos — as well as a written description of these cases that goes beyond what is in the videos.

Question: Is the book intended as a new, stand-alone text for constitutional law students? As a study supplement? As a guide for the general reader?

Randy: The book and videos were originally conceived for law students to read when taking constitutional law from professors who used other casebooks. The narrative we present will enrich any course on constitutional structure or rights.

Josh: We also wrote the text and videos to make constitutional law accessible to college students, as well as advanced high-school students. In particular, we hope A.P. government and constitutional law classes adopt our book. Also, the book and video library will help develop an excellent home-school course on constitutional law. Finally, the general public will benefit from a single resource that can teach the entire canon of constitutional law in 300 pages.

Question: Tell us about your process for picking cases. Was 100 always the goal, a framework in which you aimed to fit your selection? Or was the approach more organic?

Josh: Initially, it was not our goal to select 100 cases. Rather, we selected the cases from our casebook that we thought that all law students should learn. We soon realized that we had 103 cases. We recognize the marketing potential of having an even number like 100, so trimmed off a few.

Randy: Our goal was to focus on the key cases that are said to be in the “constitutional canon” and “anti-canon” so people can understand how constitutional law came to be what it is today. It is our experience that current constitutional law doctrines are best understood as the result of a 200+ year process of decision-making by a single court: the Supreme Court of the United States. All constitutional lawyers — and all the justices — carry in their heads a narrative of how and why the law developed as it has. This narrative is more important than any single doctrine or rule. We think this narrative is best told as a narrative. And within it are the individual stories presented by each case. When we were done picking the cases, we thought we needed to tell the larger story, and it turned out there were 100 of them.

Question: In the book’s foreword, Erwin Chemerinsky – dean of Berkeley Law and author of his own widely used constitutional law textbook – remarks that “although not every constitutional law class will cover each of these cases, [you] have included the most important cases that are covered in any constitutional law course.” In your book, did you intentionally include cases that you felt constitutional law professors have overlooked?

Randy: A few. For example, Buchanan v. Warley is a much-neglected 1917 case that complicates the received wisdom about the so-called Lochner-era court. In Buchanan, that court invalidated a racially restrictive zoning law in Louisville, Kentucky, that forbade whites from selling houses to blacks in white neighborhoods and vice-versa. For the court it was a straightforward “due process of law” case that unreasonably infringed upon property rights of both buyers and sellers, blacks and whites, without an adequate police-power rationale. But this case is, by far, the exception. With limited space (and budget), we generally confined ourselves to the cases most constitutional lawyers would know and students need to know.

Josh: We also added two cases students seldom study. In Hepburn v. Griswold, the Supreme Court held that Congress could not force people to accept paper money as “legal tender.” This 4-3 decision by Chief Justice Salmon Chase was an important decision that limited the scope of federal power. However, one year later, after two new appointments by President Ulysses Grant, the court reversed course. Knox v. Lee, split 5-4, upheld the federal Legal Tender Act. This decision adopted a broad understanding of implied powers that would presage the court’s post-1937 jurisprudence.

youtube

A preview of Knox v. Lee. Previews are available at conlaw.us/cases, with the full videos available for purchase.

Question: Tell us about your division of labor. What was it like to collaborate?

Josh: I would write the first drafts of each of the 63 scripts and storyboards we relied on. Randy would then revise and expand the drafts. Summarizing a complicated case in a few pages is no easy task. We spent countless hours debating about what should be included and excluded. And we didn’t always see eye to eye on prose. Randy likes longer sentences. I don’t mind starting sentences with “however.” But, in the end, we knew that any content that satisfied both of our meticulous standards was ready for primetime.

Randy: Over the course of two years, we spent nearly 60 hours at Trivision Studios in Chantilly, Virginia. After sitting through hair and makeup we took our position under the bright lights and in front of the green screen. The Trivision team skillfully manned the cameras, adjusted the lighting, positioned the microphone and rolled the teleprompter. Each of us monitored the delivery of the other to catch mistakes. Not infrequently we had to revise the script on the teleprompter in the studio because speaking the script out loud revealed errors we had missed when it was just in writing.

Josh: After we wrapped, Trivision produced first cuts of each video. At that point, Randy and I had to review each and every frame to ensure that the scripts and storyboards were faithfully followed. It could take three hours to review a 10-minute video. On average, each video required four or five rounds of edits. Eventually, we signed off on each of the 63 videos. They total nearly 11 hours in length. We are very proud of the project.

Randy: While I proofed all of the videos for errors, it was Josh alone who provided the storyboarding for the graphics and illustrations that make the story of constitutional law come alive. My decision to add him to my casebook was completely vindicated. I would never have conceived of this project — much less executed it — without him.

Josh:

Question: In the years ahead, the Supreme Court will undoubtedly decide cases that deserve consideration among the 100 most important. And technological progress will make digital aids, like your accompanying videos, more and more advanced. What do you view as the future of this project?

Randy: The “canon” sometimes gets revised over time. If that happens, we will need to revisit some of our videos. But the great majority will hold up as accurate descriptions of how and why the cases were decided the way they were. This is one of the virtues of our casebook. As time goes by, you only need to extend the narrative with some new cases (and drop cases that no longer serve a pedagogical purpose). You don’t need to completely reorganize the book. So, yes, we will need to add additional cases. But this is an expensive process. Our 63 videos covering 100 cases cost about $100,000 to produce. Josh and I had to pay part of that expense out of our own pockets. (That’s why you cannot watch them for free on YouTube, which we would have preferred.) But if the book and videos are a commercial success, I think Wolters Kluwer will pay for some new ones to be added when we revise our casebook, which happens every three to four years. When we do, I know I can count on Josh to find more amazing pictures, audio and graphics to make these cases come alive to a modern audience.

Josh: I’m already planning a sequel: “100 Property Cases Everyone Should Know.”

Randy: Josh is exhausting.

Hong Kong (June 20-23, 2016)

I can’t believe that it’s almost been a year. I don’t want it to be a year just yet, I want the memories to be so vivid that it feels like it just happened a week ago. It was my first to travel outside of the country, and oh how I want to do it again and again. I want to learn about people, their culture, their food... All these landmarks... All these places that people create memories in. I only wish to be motivated enough to finally find a job and earn so much money that I can get to travel as much as I want. With that being said, here is my Hong Kong experience.

After my graduation and after Kuya finally finished his thesis, papa was happy enough to take is to Hong Kong. He paid for kuya, Layne, mama’s, and my airplane ticket, Disney ticket, and accommodations ticket. On that day, uncle Jay was home from Australia. It’s so weird to think, because uncle Jay went home last Christmas, and it just shows that this HK trip happened months and months ago. Anyway, uncle Jay was home and uncle Alvin and his kids were at home that day. Uncle Alvin is going to be driving us to the airport at... I can’t even remember, I think 1 in the morning. I didn’t get to sleep at all! We were so early that we lounged around and ate some snacks for a few hours. It was so weird! My last plane ride was during my 3rd year in High School, but our Cathay Pacific plane ride now was so much better, and so much comfortable. I sat beside mama, and I started taking videos of our experience then. Cathay had all the best music: from Charlie Puth to Demi Lovato! And also, I used the lavatory because papa told us to. Haha. So with zero sleep, I felt like I was floating by. We rode some sort of a train, rented a pocket WiFi, and looked for our travel agency guide, Randy. We were grouped with fellow Filipinos and a lot of Arab people. We were dropped of at our hotel- Rambler Garden Hotel, and mama talked to some Filipino people that already went to Hong Kong before. We waited SOOOO long to be checked in, that we roamed around at the basement level of the hotel to see a 7-11 store, the Park n Shop grocery, We were supposed to go with them to Madaam Tussauds, and ride with them at the shuffle that the hotel provided, but we left our room too late. We decided to buy some snacks at 7-11, and then we rode a taxi (100 HK dollars for a 20-minute ride) to Tsim Sha Tsui.

On our first day, we just roamed around and promised to return here on our free day. We bought some food at McDonald’s, yes! And then went back to the hotel- we had two rooms and Layne and I shared rooms, while kuya and mama shared another one. Since they get to keep the pocket WiFi, we stayed at their room up until before we slept.

The next day was a fun day! We went with a Filipino group to tour Victoria’s Harbour, a jewelry shop in Hong Kong- where a Filipino guy who speaks a different language would always hover around me!, a souvenir store (I think they tricked us because the food were really expensive there, but I got Carlos’ dad the Hopia that he liked, and the mirrors I bought were 4 for 100, when the store at our hotel sold mirrors for 7 for 100!!! I only found out about that later that night), and to this boat place- that mama decided we ride even if we spent 60 HK dollars per person and it was a short boat ride. It was still a good experience though! And, while showing us around, Randy made me stand up at the bus, and he called me beautiful, “ a future beauty queen”! Haha! I made sure that Carlos knows that. The best part was when we went to Hong Kong Ocean Park. Only 3 groups of people went there, alongside a Filipino couple who we got to talk to. :) Ocean Park was loads of fun. We ate lunch even if the the food was expensive, at one of the stalls there. We road the cable car- and we were ALL scared, especially kuya. And we saw so many animals!!! The penguins and the pandas were the cutest of all. We weren’t able to watch the sea lion show though, but the sharks and the jellyfishes were really pretty. There were a lot of rides, too, but we didn’t ride any because we easily get dizzy. This was a really beautiful place, although it was very tiring because we walked around the entire day! At nighttime, we went to Park n Shop and 7-11 to buy some more snacks! A 24-pc Ferrero pack was on sale for only 60 dollars at 7-11 so we loaded up on that, I bought 2. Layne bought 2. Mama bought 2. And kuya bought 3!!!

On our third day, we went to Hong Kong Disneyland for the entire day!!! It was so hot there! Mama bought a cap for herself, but it was so hot that I was getting grumpy, so she bought one, too. We took pictures a lot and tried to look for places that had air conditioners on- like the shops, where mama almost had a fight with a Chinese woman who cut to the front of the line, and the Lion King show (which was really beautiful!). Before that, we had lunch at the rocketship/spaceship-themed restaurant, and I ordered a two-piece chicken with rice. It wasn’t that good, but it was really expensive! We also went to take pictures with the Disney characters- we spent the entire day waiting in line for picture- I got a bad sunburn because the shirt was really tight! But we got to take pictures with Donald Duck, Zootopia characters, Sofia the First, and Mickey and Minnie. We got badly sun burnt for the Mickey and Minnie line because it was soooo long! For the Zootopia characters, we were originally in line for Chip and Dale, but the couple before us, the guy to be exact, decided to punch one of the mascots!!! The couple quickly left the scene and guards were suddenly all over the place looking for them. Anyway, we saw Pluto, Goofy, and Elsa, but didn’t get to take pictures with them. My dream was to meet the handsome Flynn Rider, but we never saw them. The Disney princesses, aside from Elsa, weren’t around the time that we visited. We joined the afternoon parade, and I felt like a Disney character being one of the people at the front. Lol. And then we had some overpriced snacks at the Disney Bakery- I had a chocolate croissant with crushed pistachios. We bought several drinks throughout the day, too, because it was extremely hot. I noticed my sun burn in the afternoon, and decided to change into a different, more loose shirt. It was a green sequins top that reminds me of the Little Mermaid. We walked around the entire day- and no, no rides yet again. (I will definitely try and ride some rides the next time, THERE IS A NEXT TIME, I go there). We watched the Disney Paint the Night parade at around 7:30, and mama again almost fought with an old woman that tried to steal our spots while waiting for the fireworks show. We then watched the Disney in the Stars fireworks show, and I greeted Carlos an early birthday in one of the videos I shot. I kept on sending him videos of the fireworks. By the way, the internet connection in Ocean Park and Disneyland was soooo fast! When it came to an end by 9 PM, we half heartedly went home. It was tiring, but I really enjoyed it. We were sooooo tired, but we still went down to buy snacks at Park n Shop. We bought these really delicious cherries, and a lot of different candies and snacks (Almond Roca for 2 for 10, Kinder, Snickers, and this mentos/chupa chups 40 pcs pack for only 11 dollars). I also bought these Oreo wafers at 7-11 for only 11 dollars! We ate at Cafe de Coral at the basement floor of the hotel that night. We were supposed to keep the WiFi that night because tomorrow was Carlos’ birthday and I wanted to greet him on midnight, but it turns out that we used up all of our 5 GB data. So Layne and kuya accompanied me to the lobby, so I can greet Carlos via Facetime. Hehe. That night also, Layne and I realized that the cleaners took our towels, so I had to call to get some towels, and panicked because we thought that we would be asked to pay for it- it was 100-200 dollars per towel! Fortunately, we weren’t asked to pay.

Our last day was sad! First of all, I realized how dark I got! I hated my pictures with my black jacket on, because I was so dark!!! We returned to Tsim Sha Tsui after checking out at the hotel - we left our luggage there as well. We had lunch at KFC, it was soooo good, and the line was sooo long. We walked around a lot to look for kuya’s shoes, but he didn’t buy any. We looked at Giordano and another store, and the clothes were so inexpensive, because they had a sale around this time of the year- plus 10% discount on your birthday month and it was kuya’s birthday month. HAHA. So they bought a lot, and I bought Carlos a 60-dollar hat from Giordano! So we returned to look at the malls- we bought pasalubong face masks from one of the stores along the strip, and we went to H&M!!! nd we went inside a mall where Kuya bought a G-Shock watch.We returned to H&M and again, it was so inexpensive! Layne bought 2 shoes, and because I was a cheap girl, I only bought one boots- but it’ the best and it’s my favorite!, for 150 HK dollars. I bought a couple shirt for Carlos and I, too, for 60 HK dollars. We were getting late, and taxi drivers won’t stop for us- they don’t like tourists, mama panicked. We eventually had to ride a taxi cab that made us pay 200 dollars for the short trip- he was very rude. We arrived on time. Got to the airport, said goodbye to our WiFi, ate dinner at Cafe de Coral one last time because we still had coupons (coupons are from the travel agency) and walked around. We bought some Starbucks and a couple of Big Macs from McDonalds, before boarding at around 9 pm. Mama and Layne slept the entire ride, but I chose to watch Zootopia. Hehe. Note: We sat at the middle seat next to a Pinay this time, and kuya sat across us. This is where our trip ends. The best days and most memorable trip of my life so far. :) Uncle Jay and Uncle Alvin met us at the airport, and we were all so sleepy, I zonked out immediately.

Hong Kong is such a beautiful and clean place, I would definitely want to return here someday soon! There were a lot of rude Chinese people, but I guess that comes with territory. Again, I love the place and the food and the culture that I got to experience here, and I hope to never forget all that has happened while I was here.

100 OF THE MOST INSPIRING TRAVEL QUOTES OF ALL TIME

Words and pictures are intense. They have the ability to move points of view and touch off change. Here is a gathering of the 100 best travel quotes to move and rouse you to gather your packs and begin investigating! From exceptionally old pilgrims to cutting edge truisms, let these words move you to carry on with the life you've generally needed.

Who doesn't love travel cites?! They're a little cut of motivation ideal for any circumstance. Regardless of whether you're getting ready for an outing, recuperating from a trek, engaging post-trip blues or are simply searching for a touch of a comment you a lift, there's a statement out there that can address whatever you require. There are travel quotes about excursions, travel cites about self-disclosure, experience cites, and – my top pick – travel cites that rouse you to live without bounds – with two or three travel tips tossed in for good measure! Prepared for a little hunger for new experiences moving lift me up? Obviously, you are

MOST INSPIRING TRAVEL QUOTES OF ALL TIME

1."The gladdest minute in human life, methinks, is a takeoff into obscure terrains." – Sir Richard Burton

2. "Be valiant in the quest for what sets your spirit ablaze." – Jennifer Lee

3. "Travel makes one unobtrusive. You see what a small place you possess on the planet." - Gustav Flaubert

The second travel quote by Jennifer Lee is one of my untouched most loved expressions. What I adore about it is that it applies to everything-not simply travel. It instructs you to be intense in seeking after your interests and the things you are keen on. For me, it's movement. For others, it might be a business wander, a way of life change, or even only a major life choice. Whatever you are energetic about, seek after it persistently.

4. "Voyaging – it abandons you stunned, at that point transforms you into a storyteller." – Ibn Battuta

5. "Preferred to see something once over catch wind of it a thousand times"

6." Adventure may hurt you however dullness will execute you."

When I was a youngster, I used to peruse books insatiably. I would read page after page and fixate on faraway terrains. Just when I began voyaging did I understand what the movement quote "it's smarter to see something once than find out about it a thousand times." As a movement author, I attempt my hardest to depict spots and goals of my perusers. In any case, there are only a few things and encounters that are excessively wonderful, making it impossible to place down in words.

7. "Our battered bags were heaped on the walkway once more; we had longer approaches. Be that as it may, regardless, the street is life." - Jack Kerouac

8."All you have to know is that it's conceivable." - Wolf, an Appalachian Trail Hiker

9. "To Travel is to Live" – Hans Christian Andersen

10. "The life you have driven doesn't should be the main life you have." – Anna Quindlen

11. "The most excellent on the planet is, obviously, the world itself." - Wallace Stevens

12. "Work, Travel, Save, Repeat"

13. "The voyage not the landing matters." – T.S. Eliot

14. "What you've done turns into the judge of what you will do — particularly in other individuals' psyches. When you're voyaging, you are what you are in that spot and after that. Individuals don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays out and about." - William Least Heat-Moon

15. "Set out to carry on with the life you've generally needed."

16. "Travel and change of place give new life to the psyche." – Seneca

17. "We live in a superb world that is brimming with excellence, appeal, and experience. There is no conclusion to the enterprises we can have if just we look for them with our eyes open." – Jawaharial Nehru

18. "And after that there is the most unsafe danger of all — the danger of spending your life not doing what you need on the wager you can get yourself the flexibility to do it later." – Randy Komisar

19. Nobody acknowledges that it is so excellent to movement until the point when he gets back home and lays his head on his old, recognizable pad." – Lin Yutang

20. "Try not to tune in to what they say. Go see."

21. "Life is either a challenging enterprise or nothing by any stretch of the imagination." - Helen Keller

22. "One's goal is never a place, however another method for seeing things." - Henry Miller

23. "On the off chance that you dismiss the nourishment, overlook the traditions, fear the religion and maintain a strategic distance from the general population, you may better remain home." - James Michener

24. "Go, fly, wander, travel, voyage, investigate, travel, find, enterprise."

25. "All adventures have mystery goals of which the voyager is ignorant." - Martin Buber

26. " Travel improves a savvy man yet a trick more terrible." – Thomas Fuller

27. "The world is a book and the individuals who don't travel read just a single page." - Agustine of Hippo

28. "To my psyche, the best reward and extravagance of movement is to have the capacity to encounter regular things as though out of the blue, to be in a situation in which nothing is so recognizable it is underestimated." - Bill Bryson

29. "Not every one of the individuals who meander are lost." - J.R.R. Tolkien

30. "Our most joyful minutes as visitors dependably appear to come when we discover a certain something while in quest for something unique." - Lawrence Block

31. "Try not to take after where the way may lead. Go rather where there is no way and leave a trail" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

32. "Voyaging is a ruthlessness. It constrains you to put stock in outsiders and to dismiss all that natural solaces of home and companions. You are always shaky. Nothing is yours with the exception of the fundamental things. - air, rest, dreams, the ocean, the sky. - everything tending towards the unceasing or what we envision of it." – Cesare Pavese

33. "Each man can change the world from one of dreariness and dullness to one of energy and experience." - Irving Wallace

34. "Life is short and the world is wide"

35."We travel, a few of us perpetually, to look for different states, different lives, different souls."- Anaïs Nin

36. "A decent voyager has no settled plans and isn't determined to arriving." - Lao Tzu

37. "Life is a voyage. Make its best."

So I’ve decided to use this week as a kind of “wrap up” for 2017. Monday was the last episode (in 2017) of All the Good Things, and today we take a final look at my 2017 goals. Let’s see how I did:

1) See Star Wars

COMPLETED

That’s right folks, I can finally unlock a new level of society because I have officially seen all the Star Wars films. Well, at least all of them except the new one. But to be fair, that one wasn’t on the list because I didn’t know it was coming out. So as of now I’m counting myself among the I’ve-been-too-busy-with-the-holidays-to-see-the-new-one-yet breed, which is exactly where I want to be.

2) See 5 WLRA’s

COMPLETED

WRLA (pronounced wool-rah) is my nickname for the World’s Largest Roadside Attractions, which I became addicted to sometime last year. It is among my life goals to see them all, and so I’m chipping them off slowly. This year I shot for five, and ended up seeing the fifth one just under the wire. My sister and I drove out to see the World’s Largest Donut on New Year’s Eve Eve. The other four I saw this year were the World’s Largest Paper Cup, Fishing Fly, Thermometer and Monk.

3) Try this jean rug DIY

COMPLETED

I did most of the prep for this project back in September, but didn’t actually sew it together until this past weekend. On one hand I could say I’m glad I was ahead of the game (at one point) because when I finally sat down to sew it together, all the pieces were already cut. But on other hand, I wish I would have just taken the time to sew it together back then, it might have been a tinge less stressful. Regardless, I’m very proud of the end result. It’s nowhere near perfect, but it’s something I actually sewed with my own two hands and, like, HOW COOL IS THAT?!

The original

Mine

4) Run 1,000 miles

COMPLETED

It’s almost unfathomable that I can write “complete” on this goal, but it is, in fact, COMPLETE! I, Kimberlee K, ran 1000 miles in 2017. EEEK. You can read all about this ridiculously crazy feat here.

5) Complete The Ultimate Fit Bit Week

COMPLETED

At the beginning of the year I decided to make my own Fitbit achievement known as “The Ultimate Fit Bit Week.” Essentially I wanted to see if I could meet every goal (i.e. steps taken, calories burned, active minutes, etc.) every single day for an entire week. Let me tell you, it was not easy, but it’s one of those things that I can now say that I did, which is cool. You can read about it here. Also, if you’re reading this, Fitbit, make sure you name this challenge after me if you ever make it, you know, a thing.

6) Volunteer (at least) 5 times

COMPLETED

As I’ve said in previous check-ins, this was one of my favorite goals of the year, which made it a no brainer to add it to my list of goals for 2018. I’d highly encourage anyone and everyone to volunteer if they get a chance. It’s truly one of the most rewarding experiences!

These were my five for this year:

Food Forward (5/21/17)

Children’s Hunger Fund (6/24/17)

My Stuff Bags (8/10/17)

Food Forward (8/26/17)

Children’s Hunger Fund (10/7/17)

You can find opportunities to volunteer here.

7) Go to a sporting event of “every” kind (i.e. baseball, football, hockey, basketball, & soccer)

60% COMPLETED

When the year started, the NFL, NBA and NHL were all in the tail end of their regular seasons and moving into the playoffs, thus making tickets to the games way out of my price range. So, since I knew baseball would be an easy one to check off (because I’m a huge Dodger fan), and soccer season was just about to start, I decided to channel my energy into those and put the other three checkpoints on hold until the end of the year (a.k.a the beginning of a new season). In the end, while I was lucky enough to be invited to a hockey game (in a suite!! Thanks, Sam!) I never found my way to a basketball or football game this year. But don’t fret! At the end of the day, not going to a basketball or football game doesn’t make my year a “failure” or this goal a wash. And it would be a waste to get caught up in the parameters of the goal and obsess over the failures rather than celebrate the successes. For among the casual weeknight Dodger games I got to attend this year, I also got to see Game 6 of the World Series, and got my family out to see an LA Galaxy soccer game, which we probably never would have done otherwise. When I think about it like that, I’d say it’s a pretty successful goal.

8) Try every class at the gym

VETOED

The lack of progress on this one began with a lack of facilities, due to water damage at my local gym. It was back up and running in April, but then April turned into May and then June and then July, leading me to believe that procrastination had taken over. While that was definitely part of it, the truth was, I was scared. By July I had hit the 500-mile mark of my running goal, making the finish line something I could actually picture, and I was scared to do anything that might prevent me from reaching it. So around October, I more or less forfeited—or rather vetoed—this goal for 2017 and decided to add it as a bonus goal for this coming year. I still want to get a taste of what my gym membership is getting me and I figure it will be a good way to stay in shape.

9) Do The Princess Diaries painting

COMPLETED

You remember this iconic scene from classic RomCom The Princess Diaries, right?

I mean I think it’s safe to say we were all jealous of that mother/daughter arts and crafts session. Lucky for me, I have an amazing group of friends and family that dove headfirst into this project for my 27th birthday.

You can read about that day here.

Also, I recently got a chance to hang the end results up on my wall and it makes me smile every time I pass by.

10) Find and try the “Best of” restaurants in LA

COMPLETED

This was another goal that I was super excited about and it did not disappoint. I’ve always wanted to take more advantage of my access to downtown Los Angeles, and I feel like this search for the “best of” restaurants in my five favorite food groups (i.e. pizza, burgers, ice cream, donuts and sandwiches) helped me scratch the surface.

Here are my five finds:

Pizza: Pizzeria Mozza

Burgers: Battle of the Burgers

Ice Cream: Salt & Straw

Donuts: Randy’s Donuts

Sandwiches: Mendocino Farms

11) Watch every film that has ever won Best Picture

98.88% COMPLETED

As of my last check-in, I had 60 movies to watch before the end of the year. When the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, I only had one. Before you “awww”, know that this was intentional, as I realized (too late) that the last movie on the list was the final film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and I haven’t seen the first two…

…DON’T GIVE ME THAT LOOK. I realize this is another cardinal sin of cinema and I’m going to make right, okay? I’m adding this trilogy as another bonus goal for 2018.

12) Learn to Longboard

VETOED

Similar to goal #8, I more or less quit on this goal after I became knee deep in my running. It just seemed too likely that I’d fall off my longboard and tweak an ankle (or worse) and I wasn’t willing to give up the progress I’d made. So, again, this was postponed. Hopefully I’ll find the courage to *shred* in 2k18.

13) Learn to do a headband braid

COMPLETED (I GUESS)

Have you ever adopted a new hobby and put in a bunch of time to get better at it, only to realize that your skill level is and always will be pretty basic. Yeah, well that’s how I feel about the headband braid. After spending the year watching a bunch of different tutorial videos and knotting my hair a bunch of different ways, I more or less accepted that I’m just not good at headband braids. I get the basic concept, but my end result always looks like I let a little kid play hair salon. SO, I’m forfeiting my pursuit of the perfect braid. The way I see it, at least I can say I tried, and at least I have a handful of friends that are willing to do my hair.

14) Reach the 100,000-mile mark on my car

COMPLETED

This was another highlight of my year. After hitting the 100,000 mile mark, my family and I loaded up into Jeffrey—wearing sparkly hats and homemade glasses no less—and took a ridiculous amount of pictures and Boomerangs to commemorate the occasion.

You can read all about Jeffrey’s (my car) big milestone here.

15) Do a bar/pub crawl

COMPLETED

As if it were destined for my attendance, when I Googled “bar crawls” in October, I found 12 Bars of Charity, which divides its attendees into “teams” and gives them t-shirts to showcase the charity they choose to support. My friends and I were on the “black team” which supported the Boys & Girls club. And while we only made it to three of the twelve bars—because we spent too much time talking at each one —we still had a great time, and talked about going again next year to go to the bars we missed. (Though at this rate it will take us 4 years to see them all)

If you’re interested, 12 Bars of Charity has events all over the country. Check here to see if there’s one near you.

16) Sing Karaoke

COMPLETED

Much to the surprise of my pre-2017 self, karaoke became somewhat of a staple for my year. My friends and I found a favorite place and made many an appearance on a Saturday night. I found that it is one of the best ways to blow off steam and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

17) Complete Project Lightbulb

COMPLETED

Project Lightbulb is the nickname I gave my family’s dream vacation to Iceland. And while it became clear that this goal would be impossible to complete this year, I decided that as long as we made steps towards planning and booking it—a.k.a inching it to a reality—I’d call it a win. That being said, this year we did take steps in the right direction by officially opening a savings account so we can slowly save up enough money to make this thing happen! Iceland here we come!

And that, as they say, is that! I completed 14 of my 17 goals, which is an accomplishment in itself, and what I didn’t finish, I plan on carrying over into this new year.

But the ultimate win here is the I CAN that comes alongside the setting and completing of goals, no matter what those goals may be. This list of 17 goals inspired me to get completely out of my comfort zone, which led me on new adventures I never would have experienced otherwise. I can only hope that the goals I set for 2018 can do the same.

If you are someone who is looking for some inspiration in your life, I highly encourage you to set goals. Whether big or small, artistic, athletic or otherwise, write them down, put them out into the universe, and then go for them! You might surprise yourself how much you can accomplish.

Happy New Year!
