6. How would you rate your 05(1-10)?: Overall I'd give it a 9.5. There were a few pitfalls that brought it down (the first week on Jan, the end of Feb, some weeks of schoolwork, and a few other tough moments), but I have had a ton of fun this year. From graduating to living with Lindsay at home, to moving to Boston and LOVING it, it can't get much better.
