Turkey Day List #2

(Just so y'all know, I meant to post this two entire days ago but I'm a lil shit so I didn't)

HIYA MY LOVES <3

On such a lovely bubbly day, I'd like to give my infinite thanks to all the individuals I'm blessed to have in my life. Hold onto your socks cuz this might take a while...

Mami: I know we don't always understand each other but I cannot thank you enough for trying. I love you so so so much and that will never ever change.

Papi: I can't wait to binge watch Gilmore Girls with you over Christmas break :) Thank you for always reminding me to be kind to myself. Please take your own advice once in a while, yeah? I love you to infinity and beyond. I'm sending you hugs.

YD: You're an asshole. But you travel with me and you occasionally try and make sure that I'm okay. Thanks for coming to most of my shows and stuff. It's somewhat appreciated :P I love you and stuff, I guess. *proceeds to push you into a river*

Javi: Please don't get any taller. I'll miss using you as an arm rest cuz currently you're the only person shorter than me, so... I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you in almost two months but please know I love you so so so much and your big sister will always be here to kick the crap out of anyone who dares get in your way.

Suki: You little chicken nugget, you. I miss you more than your tiny brain could ever comprehend.

Future Puppy: Baby, I cannot wait to pick you out and hold you and cuddle you and love you and care for you and goodness gracious, I want you now. Conor says I should name you Genji or Luna. We'll see how that goes ;)

Wilsons/Estrellas/Fishers: You guys give me so much life. You're a wacky group of misfits and I am so honored to be related to you all.

Kerrs: You guys are the real MVPs. Thank you for all that you do for me.

Doires: I can't wait to be back in my room again :3 After all, I am the better daughter (jk jk Claire, please don't kill me, you know I love you).

Brennans: I don't see you enough. I sincerely hope you stay in our lives for a very long time.

Pri: Mujer, ojala pudiera llevarte a UNI conmigo. De verdad que quisiera. Pero ni modo, solo Dios sabe donde quedaremos y espero que nunca te vayas tan lejos. Te necesito <3

CJS: You crazy human, you. You make all my days infinitely more bearable and you make me laugh harder than anyone I know. You've seen me at my worst and at my best. You've kissed me while I was snot-ridden and while I had about five pounds of stage makeup on. You've hugged me in the snow and in the rain. You've held my hand regardless of the season and I am beyond grateful for all the joy and light you bring to my life. I miss our random road trips and walks through the woods and movie marathons and impromptu dinner dates. It's been a fantastic almost two years. I love you, I really do.

Fonts: I know you're not one for sappy words and all that but I think you know how much you mean to me. You're an absolute nuisance but I love you just the same. Please come home soon <3

Claire: Oh, Claire bear, it's been rough with you gone. I know I've been managing and things are mostly okay but if I could have it my way, I'd still have you here with me, jamming to Hamilton in the car and taking long trips to Stop 'n' Shop. If I could, I'd freeze Claire and Maya Week 2k15 and loop it til the end of time. I'd have us sitting on your couch, watching the Tony Awards and singing Frozen songs at the top of our lungs. I'd have us making pancakes and eating popcorn and scrolling through Tumblr while looking at pretty people. If I could, we'd be snuggled up watching Disney movies with hot cocoa or otherwise booking it to the beach with a speaker and five tons of Capri Sun. I miss you so much but I know you're having a blast at college. Please don't you ever forget about me. I'd be lost without you.

Mike: Gosh, where has the time gone? I feel like just yesterday you were helping me out with my problems but oh, how the tables have turned XD I love you, dude. You do some dumb shit. But I still love you. And I'll support you no matter what. I am always here. Even when I'm holding a grudge. I am always here.

Caellum: It wouldn't kill ya to answer a text once in a blue moon, asshole :P Nah, but in all seriousness I understand how life gets. It's messy and uncoordinated and annoying and exhausting and you have your priorities and I completely understand. That being said, I believe in you. I know things gets shitty sometimes, but goddamn do I believe in you. Please don't you ever forget that.

Shelby: Just because we don't always have the time to talk as much as we used to doesn't mean I'm not always thinking of you. I am so blessed to have you in my life because you are such a lovely, wonderful, caring soul and I would not have it any other way. You give me incentive to get up every morning and I still find it so hard to believe that I've only seen you in person a handful of times, yet I feel like I've known you my entire life. I don't mean to sound redundant but it's true. I cannot picture my life without you and I seriously hope I continue to be a part of your life for a very, very long time. Here's to the next time I get to koala you.

Tiernan: Come back to the East Coast, bitch <3

Sophia: If you decided to start a cult, I'd join it. Like, no lie, you are a Goddess in my eyes. I look up to you so much (no pressure) and every time I second guess myself, I imagine you cheering me on. You just ooze encouragement and good vibes and I think we all need more of that in our lives. Please don't forget about me when we get older. You mean too much to me. You inspire me now and forever.

Maeve: I know we don't talk as much anymore, but trust me, I don't think of you any less. I'm constantly stalking your Insta and Snapchat for pics of Luna and Scout because, well... that's self-explanatory. I miss you so much and I cannot wait to hang out and snuggle you because you may give some of the best snuggles on this planet. I love you!!!

Emma: My gorgeous little sister, I am SO glad I got to be there to witness your first year of high school. Having you in my drama class is beyond fun and no offense to everyone else but you're my favorite <3 It's been such a privilege to watch you grow up and I hope I get to stick around in your life long enough to witness the rest. Keep doing you, boo.

Scotty P: Oh, Scott, I could not live without your hugs. Thanks for providing an endless supply and for being a diva and for introducing me to Boris and Simon and for being my new Claire and for driving us to Dunkin' and Chipotle even though you hate us :) Much love, bro.

Megan: WIFE!!! I live for our communal naps and for your glorious hugs. Thank you for going shopping with me and making sure I'm never lonely. You know I have your back and I know you have mine. If I'm ever sad, I just think of you and you make me smile. You best believe I'm gonna Facetime you whenever I can while I'm at college. Get ready cuz it's gonna be lit.

Amanda: You're weird as fuck but thank you for giving me cuddles and for loving me unconditionally and for introducing me to Riley. Kudos for that ;) Oh! And for all the Fifth Harmony spam. And for sending me pics of boobs when I'm sad. BISEXUALS REPRESENT.

Riley: MY BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY thank you for existing. Every time I see you, you make my day instantly better. Thank you for being my big little sister (and practically my mom sometimes). You make my heart smile. BISEXUALS REPRESENT.

Emmalene: It's been four years and I still consider you my magical fairy godmother. It started with just makeup but it's grown into more than that—having you in classes and activities with me over the years has made me addicted to your contagious laugh and always seeking out your hugs and smiles. You are one extraordinary cookie and I am so proud to have you as my friend. Keep dazzling the world with your brilliance ;)

Hannah Banana: BAE!!! As always, I miss my favorite roomie more than ever because my single gets lonely sometimes but I know you always have my back. Your sass gives me life. Thank you for enduring all the Precal with me. I don't know what I'd do without you.

Lucia: Honestly, I have a HUGE friend crush on you, is that bad?

Amber: Tbh, you're like really mean to me sometimes but I don't mind because I know your evil soul can't help it :) I seriously wish we were in the same dorm just so I could see your beautiful face everyday but alas, we can't always get what we want. I better be in your senior page :3

Alasdaire: Okay, real talk, you may be one of the most beautiful human beings I have ever laid eyes on. And that's coming from my super gay side. That being said, you are so sweet to me, sometimes I feel like I don't even deserve your kindness. I could not survive Euro without you, so thank you.

Grace B: I said it freshman year and I stand by it now, you have to be one of the most entertaining people I have ever met. Your constant IDGAF syndrome makes life feel more okay. I could listen to your nerdy biology talks for hours and anyone who dares underestimate your intelligence is a dildo. Please don't ever change.

MegMeg: Thank you for being so kind and for enduring all of Bray Bray's crazy with me. No one will understand the pain like you and me do. Besides, we're kinda the same person, aren't we? XD

Mark: It was an honor acting beside you this fall. You made a lovely husband <3

Young Thuggin': Addison, the day something normal comes out of your mouth will be the day the world turns upside down. Please continue enjoying your communist pizza til the end of time.

Sozanski: You little adorable piece of nerd UGH. As annoying as your know-it-all tendencies may be sometimes, I think we all appreciate the fact that you're literally a walking Encyclopedia. You've grown a lot in the past year but please know I consider you my lil baby child, okay?

Annie: You are kind of bizarre but I couldn't have asked for a better daughter (sorry Amanda). Continue doing your little adorable fairy thing. It suits you.

Marcel: As hard as you try, I'm never gonna date you but I appreciate your determination. Also, watching you try to make Conor jealous is kinda hilarious...

Mr. McCarthy: You seriously do not give a shit, do you? I don't think I could ever ask for a better advisor. Thank you for being a real homie.

Mrs. Bonin: Please don't hate me for not doing my last assignment :) I still love you.

Dr. Bonin: I AM BEGGING YOU PLEASE MAKE SURE I GET INTO COLLEGE PLEASEEE

Ms. Smith: As always, thanks for letting me date your son :) That being said, it's so much fun when we gang up on him (even tho he hates it) and thank you SO much for your infinite generosity. Btw, you're an excellent cook!

Eddie Redmayne: You are SUCH A DUCKING CINNAMON ROLL I COULD EAT YOU UP.

J.K. Rowling: Someday, I hope to be just like you.

Zoe Sugg and Tyler Oakley: As always, thank you for bringing levity to dire situations.

Cinnamon: You precious little kitty cat, I adore you.

Bernie Sanders: It should've been you <3

Mis angeles: No me abandonen, por favor.

Dios mio: Dame fuerza. Dame esperanza. Te necesito, Señor. Dame fe.

Hasta la próxima,

Much love xoxo

Omniscient

Hello lovelies. Those of you who know me have known for quite some time that I keep a list of quotes on me always. You say some funny shit—I write it down. That's how that works.

Now, I will say I planned on waiting 'til the end of my senior year to post this, but I'm a tad bit impatient and I've already waited a good, long two and a half years so now's as good a time as ever. Another thing I should probably mention is a lot of these won't make sense unless you know the person saying it. Since it's impossible to expect all my readers to know each other, I've decided to exclude names from this post. That reason and also just so no one gets accidentally offended or in trouble :)

Look at me being all responsible.

Last disclaimer before I let you loose: some of these were said by me, others (possibly and most probably the more offensive ones) were said by my dearest friends and companions, so if you are easily offended, I suggest you leave now.

If you are easily amused, by all means, stay. Stay a while and see how long it takes before confusion consumes you :)

Onwards.

On The First of the Lasts

Hello all. Some of you may or may not know, but today was my last first day of high school.

Yep. I am a senior, now, believe it or not.

I guess you could say I had quite an eventful day. Waking up in my very own room while at school was a bit odd, to say the least. I have a single this year and as lovely as it is to have my own privacy and the like, I've found myself awfully lonely without dear Hannah Banana. I woke up at 5:45am because what can you do? It was my last first day and I had to look good.

I took my time getting ready (far different from Junior year where I'd wake up 10 minutes before class started...) and proceeded to memorize an entire song for 8:15 Opening of School Mass. Emmalene and I had a hard time not laughing during it. You should not be surprised. I also managed to hand in my laundry on time and went to breakfast because I'm trying to be healthy and you know, not skip meals.

After church and an uncomfortably long assembly, it was time for my first class: Marine Biology. Granted, the teacher is my advisor and I love him to pieces and he's the chillest dude to walk this earth so I wasn't all surprised but I have a feeling it's gonna be a really great class. Next, I had AP Literature with the legendary Dr. B himself. My class is honestly a party. It's me, CJS, Amber, Scott, Emmalene, and Kevin plus a couple others. In other words, we're the raddest and the baddest AP Lit section this year. Not even gonna lie :)

After English was lunch, which was cut to 40 minutes because special schedule and all. BUT THEY HAD ICE CREAM BECAUSE MONDAYS SO YAY but then I had Precalculus with the new math teacher who seems nice and all but if I'm being honest I was 1000000000% falling asleep. Poor guy.

After that, I rushed on over to Ap European History, where Father P and I totally just made jokes the entire time while he went over the syllabus. Said syllabus makes me want to die, just by the way. It's been the first day and I already have two papers due so that's cool.

Then I had about 40 minutes to get my shit together, tug on my trademark overalls and severely beat-up red converse before making my way up to the auditorium for Anne Frank auditions. The turn out was greater than I expected although I'm having more doubts as to who's gonna play who. The cast list doesn't come out 'til Wednesday which is kinda frustrating but that's okay. I'd just rather get it over with.

Auditions were long but at least I had MegMeg and Scotty P and David Oh and Amanda and Addison and the other David and Emily and Diane. They're a wacky bunch, for sure, but I'm glad I get to spend this next term with them of all people.

I headed to dinner and realized just how badly my day-long headache had developed but I super wasn't feeling the food because Stillman but then CJS forced me to go make a PB&B (peanut butter and banana) sandwich, so at least that's something. Around 6:30, all the new EHX dweebs started freaking out cuz none of them knew their music and I mean I thought I didn't either but compared to them, I'd say I did pretty okay XD

Either way, that was probably the most emotionally challenged part of my day.

I dunno.

I guess it was weird to walk into such a familiar room with some of my fondest memories and yet not a single person from those memories was present but me. And it didn't help that Papa Kerr decided it'd be a great idea to show the rest of the newbies some old EHX videos where we killed our set.

If any of y'all are reading this, you'll know what I mean when I say he played the video from NAIS. We performed Radioactive and Run To You that time. That was our last killer performance of that year. This video was from two years ago. Two whole fucking years ago. I mean I shouldn't even be surprised I'm the only one left! Everyone else there has already graduated. I'm the only one left.

I know I know this is turning sappy and gross but I can't help it so if you're not enjoying this post anymore, I invite you to click the exit button. Otherwise, feel free to stay and read my whirlpool of emotions.

Mr. Kerr pressed play and almost instantly, every single memory of that day clouded my brain. I remember feeling a little sad because I knew it would be my last performance with these guys. I knew it would be my last time performing Run To You (which was my favorite piece from that set). Still, I tried to do my best to overcome that melancholiness and just enjoy the moment. So I focused on my rockin' outfit and dicking around with the rest of the peeps instead. I still have that dress and I still have those boots. However, my hair is about half as long as it was back then, and my skin is definitely heaps clearer than it was then, too. A lot can happen in two years.

Anyway, as I was saying. Mr. Kerr pressed play and instantly, I was looking back at an almost fifteen-year-old me, surrounded by a bunch of dorks who loved me for some godforsaken reason. Tiernan stood right by my side, Gibb was sat at his drum set behind us, C was all the way to the far right, and Soph all the way to the far left, right behind her magical keyboard. I looked around at all of us.

Some goddamn teenagers we are.

Smiling giddily at each other as we prepare to kickass on our last performance together.

That's when present-tense Maya started to tear up. Soph started to play like the Queen that she is and Mr. Kerr jokingly said to the newbies, "If any of you know anyone who can play like that, give me a call!"

And I know I should've laughed cuz he was just messing around. But the real answer to that is pointless. Absolutely no one, and I mean no one can play the keys like Sophia Diodati. And that made me sad. Well, maybe not necessarily sad but it made me realize what a fucking gem she is and what an absolute privilege it was to perform with her let alone become one of her closest friends. I just... I miss her. A lot.

And then we started singing and T and I did that thing where we'd look at each other knowingly and discreetly smirk because we know we're fucking good. Not good.

Fantastic.

And we'd sorta dance and feed off of each other's energy. And Caellum, dear God, he was just standing there all tall and proud cuz he also knows we're pretty darn fabulous and it really can't get any better than that.

So the tears started rolling down my cheeks faster than I could control and I knew that everybody was stealing quiet glances at me out of the corners of their eyes but I didn't give a shit. If anything, I wanted this to prove how special this music ensemble is to me. And how much more the people mean to me. I needed them to know this is what Enharmonix is all about. So I didn't wipe my tears away. I let the mascara stain ugly streaks down my face and sniffled all the while.

And don't even get me started on Run To You. I don't have words for that one. For those of you who've ever witnessed us performing that song, you know exactly what I mean.

All in all, I had a complete meltdown in front of all these new kids at our first rehearsal because I missed my friends. But hey, that's life. Last first days can't always be perfect.

I stayed afterward to talk to Papa Kerr for a while and we discussed the upcoming year and all our goals and expectations and I showed him a CD I'd been dying to show him for a while. So that was fun. I missed just hanging out talking to him in the Wing. But then it hit me this was the first time I'd been down there without anyone else. Without another motive to go. It was just me and Mr. Kerr chilling in the lab (which has AC now btw) and I somehow expected Claire to just walk around the corner. Or Caellum. Or Mike. Or Sophia. Or Tiernan. Or Fonts.

Anyone.

I just missed my friends. I miss you guys. More than you know.

And I'm excited about this year, I really, truly am. I'm just... still in the emotional stage, I guess. I hope I get over it soon.

Anyway, that's about the extent of what I have to tell you about today so I'll leave it at that. If you managed to read all this, thank you. You're cool. I like you.

Hasta la próxima,

Much love xoxo

Holy Fricken Frack

Well. I told you I'd be busy, didn't I?

Either way, here we are: February 15th (my little Suki's 7th bday holy crap) and I have SO MUCH to tell you.

Let's see, where did I leave off?

Ah, yes.

Firstly there was Berklee. I have so many feelings about that. I may or may not have a post written about it later... In the meantime, please go read Claire's recap of it here.

That was during the first half of our Winter Weekend. The second half was filled with various events ranging from fun to exciting to downright dangerous (we get competitive while playing games... *ehem* Catan *ehem*).

That Sunday, I finally got to see Star Wars in theaters with the bae. I also had an impromptu shopping spree with Claire and Max (my real baes, obviously) where we raided Sally's and bought Claire's first batch of hair dye (SUPER EXCITING!). Later that evening, we all ended up playing Settlers of Catan in Caellum's bedroom and dare I say, it was one of the most hilarious things I have ever experienced. We played in pairs, so Rory and Claire officially won, while Max and I took a close second, and meanwhile, poor Conor and Caellum were left begging for cyanide in their fruitless nation. I may have peed myself laughing once or twice. The next day snowed buckets and so obviously we thought it'd be a great idea to go sledding.

Wrong. We were so, so very wrong. Our faces were nearly burned away from wind chill and I was feelin the frostbite coming on. Instead, we took to Martin's, where Max and I proved to everyone else that we are true soulmates (and we also kick ass at Squares). We probably spent around three hours shuffling cards around and getting into heated competitions of Speed and Poker. I love my people.

Alas, the next day we had school, so naturally we were overcome with woe.

But that was that.

OTHER SUPER INTERESTING THING THAT HAPPENED RECENTLY:

I had my first stage kiss ever and it was awkward as fuck and I completely missed the first time and God bless Jimmy for putting up with my shit but holy crap I was so nervous and I kinda wanted to die

Since then, we've had to kiss like a trillion more times for The Addams Family but thank goodness it's only gotten easier and increasingly less awkward (except for, yaknow, the fact that the whole school and my boyfriend are gonna be watching but oh whale).

This past Thursday was Poetry Out Loud and as per usual, I memorized my poem like half an hour before the actual event (I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS, DO NOT TRY IT AT HOME) yet somehow I managed getting first place...?????????

Like........ wat. But yeah, that happened.

The weekend dragged on because Tech but HEY WE'RE GONNA PUT ON A MIGHTY FINE SHOW SO IT IS ALL A-OKAY. Plus, Saturday night the squad got to watch Deadpool and I have never not regretted something more in my life. IT WAS EFFING AMAZING.

You may be wondering what I did on my Valentine's Day especially considering the fact that I actually have a bae this year (I know none of you are wondering but I'm salty about it so I'm gonna tell you anyway).

Well, my dearest friends, I did absolutely nothing. Why, you ask? Well, because I was stuck in the goddamn auditorium the whole day and so I didn't even get to see CJS and usually I hate Valentine's Day so I wouldn't even care but it was mildly upsetting and I was stressed and homesick and exhausted and fricken frack it wasn't a good time.

ANYWAY, today was a new day and it actually went pretty well :) Tomorrow I may die after APUSH first period but yaknowI it's really okay. I should be studying right now. Ugh.

I have so many other things I'm probably forgetting but—OH WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED! MAMI AND JAVI ARE COMING TO SEE THE SHOW THIS WEEKEND AND I AM BEYOND EXCITED TO SEE THEM AGAIN AHHHHH

Yay, exciting :)

Quick shoutout to Shelbs for making me smile every single day and to Claire for being my bestest bae and to Max for tolerating my shit and to C for loving me unconditionally and to CJS for being a love and to Soph for actually deciding to go on a kickass trip with us and to Papa Kerr for being selfless and kind and to Hannah Banana for being the best roommate ever and to Emmalene for enduring the pain that is tech and making me feel hardcore as Wednesday and to Brandt for making me laugh and to Lil Kerr for being my child. There are really a lot of other people I should be thanking right now but I'm hoping they get the idea already.

Okay, but now I should really actually try and be productive.

Hasta la próxima!

Much love xoxo

HAPPY MERRY NEW YEARS ALMOST

Well, first and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAEVE I LOVE YOU INFINITELY <3

It has been one hell of a year, let me tell you that. I could list all the things that I'm grateful for but I mean, y'all would get pretty tired of that XD So instead, I'm probably just gonna be boring and do the same thing I did last year, which is steal a bunch of questions off the internet and fill them in.

1) What one event, big or small, are you going to tell your grandchildren about?
The greatest quinceañera of all time, that's what. What greater birthday spent than at Disney World with your very best friends?

2) If you had to describe your 2015 in 3 words, what would they be?
Challenging, exhilarating, magical.

3) What new things did you discover about yourself?
I'm way tougher than I thought I was. I also am capable of so much more than I think I am.
4) What single achievement are you most 
proud of?
Not gonna lie, I'm quite proud of many things I did this year, but choosing to say enough is enough and walking out of an abusive situation is by far the best decision I ever made this year.
5) What was the best news you received? 
Getting cast as Wednesday Addams was pretty spectacular, although finding out I got into All State might be a close second.
6) What was your favourite place that you visited in 2015?
Well this goes back to the best fifteenth birthday ever, Disney World with my people.
7) Which of your personal qualities turned out to be the most helpful this year?
Maintaining a bubbly, sunny attitude despite all the shit going on.
8) Who was your number one go-to person that you could always rely on?
There's no single person, but I guess I'd have to say mainly C and Claire got me through this year.
9) Which new skills did you learn?
Forgiveness, patience, and still working on stress relief.
10) What, or who, are you most thankful for?
All of my friends. Sincerely, I do not know what I would do without each and every one of you. And CJS, who never fails to make me smile.
11) If someone wrote a book about your life in 2015, what kind of genre would it be? A comedy, love story, drama, film noir or something else?
Yikes, that's tough... I mean, I guess you could say it started off as a drama and then morphed into a love story with its own moments of tragedy and comedy. A bit of everything, I suppose.
12) What was the most important lesson you learnt in 2015?
Be good to yourself. Always.
13) Which mental block(s) did you overcome?
Not entirely overcome, but simply realizing that I can't always make everyone happy.
14) What 5 people did you most enjoy spending time with?
That's really tough, but definitely Caellum, Claire, CJS, Hannah Banana, and Meagan.
15) What was your biggest break-through moment career-wise?
Well... Strictly speaking, I don't exactly have a career... XD If we're talking about my academic career, dear God, did I have a lot of "break-throughs" and by that I mean I discovered I can write a three paged paper in under thirty minutes, wake up at 3am and crank out forty pages of textbook reading and writing, among many other feats.
16) How did your relationship to your family evolve?
That's somewhat of a sticky question seeing as things are sorta all over the place right now... But being at boarding school definitely makes the heart grow fonder.
17) What book or movie affected your life in a profound way?
Definitely the movie The Little Prince, without a doubt. Also, Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet In Heaven.
18) What was your favorite compliment that you received this year?
Well, having someone fall in love with me was one heck of a compliment... <3
19) What little things did you most enjoy during your day-to-day life?
Squirrels. Feeling clean. Fog. Crisp air. Smiles. Hugs. Snuggles. Feeling accomplished.
20) What cool things did you create this year?
I wrote some pretty kickass blog posts, I wanna say XD I also wrote some pretty interesting new poems I'm quite proud of.

21) What was your most common mental state this year (e.g. excited, curious, stressed)?
Umm, well I'm not very much of a static person. My moods are always changing and I never quite feel just one thing at a time, so I'd have to say it was a toss up between anxiety and excitement.

22) Was there anything you did for the very first time in your life this year?
I fell in love. I took medication for more than one thing. I came out to my parents and some of my friends. I finally said no.

23) What was your favourite moment spent with your friends?
Oh goodness, I am blessed to say there is not just a single moment I can pin down, simply because I have had way too many glorious moments with my people. Some of those being at Disney, others when my college peeps came back to surprise me, staying at Claire Bear's house, late night talks, among other things.

24) What major goal did you lay the foundations for?
Welllllll I mean I guess you could say I finally landed a lead...? I also continued to participate in as many musically inclined things as possible.

25) Which worries turned out to be completely unnecessary?
Thinking I would die come Junior year. Worrying whether someone really loved me or not. Grades are not everything. They're important, but not everything.

26) What experience would you love to do all over again?
Being surprised by my friends time and time again. Chilling with CJS on multiple occasions.

27) What was the best gift you received?
This is so hard to choooooseeeeee. Let's just stick with Christmas presents, yeah? First of all, I am beyond grateful to everyone for all the gifts I recieved, but good God, Shelby surprised me with a Simba pillow pet and I just about died.

28) How did your overall outlook on life evolve?
I wanna say it went from pessimistic to hopeful.

29) What was the biggest problem you solved?
My social life, kinda.

30) What was the funniest moment of your year, one that still makes it hard not to burst out laughing when you think about it?
Playing Cards Against Humanity with my fam, and just lots of little moments I cannot speak of involving my friends.

31) What purchase turned out to be the best decision ever?
MY OVERALLS. I FOUND THEM. FINALLY.

32) What one thing would you do differently and why?
I would learn to let go faster and hold onto the things that truly matter. I would probably also procrastinate less and remember to get my work done on time... haha... ha.

33) What do you deserve a pat on the back for?
I mean not to brag, but for being a pretty damn good friend, I think XD

34) What activities made you lose track of time?
Singing, tumblring, writing, listening to music, hanging with the peeps, calling CJS.

35) What did you think about more than anything else?
How freaking lucky I am to have so many beautiful creatures in my life.

36) What topics did you most enjoy learning about?
Ummm well, I mean in terms of school, English continues to be my favorite subject so... I guess just reading some pretty fantastic books and the like?

37) What new habits did you cultivate?
I've picked up on so many phrases and mannerisms from my friends, it's not even funny. Thanks a lot guys.

38) What advice would you give your early-2015 self if you could?
Listen, kid, this year's gonna be really rough. And I mean incredibly so. But you are gonna find that so many things will be worth it. Just hang in there and hold out for the light at the end of the tunnel, yeah? It'll come sooner than you expect it to.

39) Did any parts of your self or your life do a complete 180 this year?
Oh my, well, I guess you could say I finally grew a spine and declared that I had had enough of a certain situation, so that made me stronger I wanna say. I also took a risk and fell in love. That was pretty great.

40) What or who had the biggest positive impact on your life this year?
Okay, kill me for being the most cliche person ever, but CJS has been the greatest new addition to my life and even though it's taken quite a while to get comfortable with each other, I am so so so happy that I have him. No matter what happens in the future, I am thankful for the happiness you've given me.

41) What do you want the overarching theme for your 2016 to be?
Hope. Joy. Discovery.

42) What do you want to see, discover, explore?
IRELAND <3 <3 <3

43) Who do you want to spend more time with in 2016?
I mean, I really hope my graduating friends come visit me once they're gone, but I also hope to grow closer to my own grade come senior year.

44) What skills do you want to learn, improve or master?
To chill the fuck out and not be so hard on myself.

45) Which personal quality do you want to develop or strengthen?
Endurance, perseverance, positivity.

46) What do you want your everyday life to be like?
Continuing to find joy in the little things. To not let small inconveniences get in the way of my happiness.

47) Which habits do you want to change, cultivate or get rid of?
Get rid of my procrastination (HA! That'll be the day...) and try and be more positive, even with the little things. 

48) What do you want to achieve career-wise?
Damn, I just wanna pass Junior year with decent grades and not have the SAT kill me.

49) How do you want to remember the year 2016 when you look back on it 10/20/50 years from now?
Challenging, but nothing that I can't overcome without a little willpower and help from my friends and family.

50) What is your number one goal for 2016?
Let yourself be happy. Enjoy every moment. Don't let it go to waste. Forgive. Have fun. Move on.


..........

And that's somewhat of a vague-ish recap of my year! I love you all to infinity and banana. Without you guys, this year would've been absolute hell.

Hasta la próxima, 

Much love xoxo
