Wow. What a year.

As we head into the holidays and then 2011, we can’t help but look back a little.

A lot of graduating classes at VFS do the same: nostalgic montages, video yearbooks, gag reels, before-and-afters. They take stock of the seemingly impossible communities they formed in 12 short months and the endless variety of incredible things they’ve created. A story emerges: of triumph, of challenges, of stressful times and good times.

Here at the VFS Blog and behind the scenes at VFS, we get to do that too. Every year, we watch our students do amazing things and our graduates make waves around the world. How amazing is that? We’re lucky.

2010. What a year.

We try to chronicle and celebrate those stories and those people – to the tune of 321 posts this year. It’s still not as many as we’d like, a small fraction – and yet, we take a step back, and it thrills us just the same. From the Oscars to the Olympics, the traditional to the cutting edge, singing chickens to sinister sirens, 2010 had everything we could possibly ask for.

That’s why we decided to put it together in one place: vfs.com/2010. It’s a collection of some of our best memories from 2010, as well as incredible student work, grad accomplishments, and much more. We hope you enjoy.

To all of our readers: have a safe and happy holiday, and we’ll back to posting on the VFS Blog in January. But we won’t be far – you can still connect with us on Twitter and Facebook and enjoy our YouTube channel. We’ll be out there with you.
