Officially Graduated!

Today was so bittersweet, yet strangely fulfilling. I almost teared up a couple of times when I was sitting down in the chairs during graduation.

It was so surreal. Like, it didn't hit me that I wouldn't be seeing all my friends and underclassmen every day, until I was in the seat, waiting for Sathya to sit down and to signal our row to go up on stage.

Look, I'm not one to get super sentimental on social media sites. It's rare when I actually DO get sentimental. But, I'll definitely remember today and all of the memories I've created at Whitney. I never truly understood what alumni meant when they say that high school is something I should make the most out of. I just wanted to get out, you know? I couldn't wait to get to Westwood and start classes at my dream school.

But I have to (begrudgingly) admit that I will genuinely miss this school.

I really will miss getting out of third and fifth period five minutes early to go work at the Hutch.
I really will miss sitting down at the tree with the guys.
I really will miss Mr. Z.
I really will miss the assed out hour lunches.
I really will miss the underclassmen.
I really will miss Bender's loud sneezes.
I really will miss sitting next to Thoi in Dalley.
I really will miss doing nothing in Contemp.
I really will miss the jittery feeling I got at the film festivals.
I really will miss going to the water store and getting ice cream.
I really will miss volleyball and all of the busrides and trashtalking that came with it.
I really will miss taking Joo home after volleyball... and staying there for hours.
I really will miss seeing my sister on campus and saying hi to her.
I really will miss waiting for her during seventh period and not being able to hang out.
I really will miss my friends.

I really will miss this. High school.

Today was the first day I felt 100 percent open. I wanted to hug as many people - some people I barely knew - as I could. To wish them good luck. To show them I care for them.

Now there are a lot of regrets, too, but that's a story for another time. I feel like there's just so much more that I want to say, but then I'd never finish this post. (Not literally, but you know...)



The only thing left to say is thank you. To everyone.







Thank You.

i didn't even swim half of the laps... maybe like 10/25
im pretty sore

I've just been skating these past couple of days. It feels good to do what I used to do everyday.

Imperfections

I have the worst feet: practically no arch, so wide I have to buy shoes half size or a full size up, and a horrible excuse for a pinky toenail.

And then I have these tumors/alien eggs embedded into my calves.

To top it all off, my thighs are about two feet in circumference.
I'm also only 5'7".

It's okay, though. God still loves me for who I am.

After all, He made me this way.

College

Seeing all these people getting their emails about scholarships and interviews lowkey makes me sad.
