Things I did in 2015

I know it’s a bit late to be writing this, considering 2016 has been up and running for more than a month now, but I still wanted to do this, so…

In 2015 I:

As you all can see, 2015 was a big year for me. Some things might seem insignificant, but I really wanted to have a place to document it.
