This is long but oh, so worth it.
What I laughed at:
1::Gasps of air leave the bus silence.
Buzz
Then commotion.
"Haley SWORE???"
"Someone's got to live tweet that!"
But she did not.
She said Shiitake
Referring to the mushroom.
Yo, our bus almost made a pancake out of the car ahead of us--
so the real word would have been appropriate in this instance.
But Haley doesn't swear::
2::A guy worker at Magic Mountain walked out of the girls' bathroom in broad daylight. with his Green Lantern super hero cape and all. trailing behind.
p.s. Later that day we were ascending the first clicking climb up the hill on the famous Tatzu roller-coaster when I saw him. I told him I caught him in the girls' bathroom. All he had to say was, "Hi-ya!"
He had to stay in character::
3::Ripped my brand new yoga pants right smack-dab in the backside area. The hole was dime-sized and very exposing. Luckily no one saw...I just keep telling myself that. Man, I knew I felt a breeze back there::
4::Creeping on people in line for California Screamin': Popped my hood up, crouched behind the wall and slowly peeked over with my creeper face. scared the living daylights out of a girl. It was roughly 1:30 in the morning, everything was entertaining. And everything was funny. T'was aghast::
What I adored:
Being with all of my lovely friends. :)
There are some pretty great people in my life.
To name a few, and some of the best~
Whitni, Kenzie, Emily, Lindsey, Michelle, Bridgette, Elle, Jordyn, Emma,
and a'course, my bestie, Brooklyn.
It is so important to have friends that love and support you, make you want to be better, uplift you, and share your same values. I am so grateful for the influence of these girls in my life.
Let's talk about my amazing friends::
Whitni is so genuine. You can tell she truly cares about you when you talk to her. She is also always up for any adventure and I love that about her.
Kenzie is so strong. Her firey personality is fresh and vibrant. She loves to have fun and loves to include everyone in on it. She knows what she wants and won't settle. I admire that so much.
Emily is so charismatic. She supports her friends and shows that she cares. She is so outgoing and has a great sense of humor.We always have a good time with Em.
Lindsey is so chill. I love her laid back personality. She always has something funny to add to the conversation. I love her tall grace and mad volley-ball skills.
Michelle is also very chill. She is a great one to talk to. There's nothing fake about Michelle and I adore that about her. She is who she is: an amazing girl. Along with my friends above, she has helped me a lot this year by simply being so kind.
Bridgette is so much fun. She is always full of energy and vigor. We were on Seminary counsel together this year and she definitely engaged herself in whatever she was asked to do. She's a character to say the least.
Elle is so classy. She has a style that is completely her own. Along with her fashion, her character is classy as well. She is friendly to all and shares my love of writing. She, along with my other friends, has many accomplishments.
Jordyn is something else. She was voted class clown, and rightfully so. Every word that comes from her mouth jerks a laugh inside me. I love her wit. She also just does her own thing; she is unstoppable.
Emma is from the Netherlands and has been such an amazing friend to me this year. She has taught me so much. Beyond so much. She is the most honest person, so wise I call her my female Buddha.
And Brooklyn.
Brooklyn, where do I start with her. Brooklyn. She is my best friend. By every word and deed. True blue, through and through. The sweetest girl you will ever meet. The happiest. The brightest. She is so positive. Positively posh. thoughtful, hardworking, dedicated, and strong. She has made an incredibly immense impact on my life. She's the /best and she's my
friend/
We laughed the whole trip. Screamed the whole trip. Smiled the whole trip. And thoroughly enjoyed each moment of this blessed time of partying and celebration. We GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL!
What I cherish and Savor:
1))Playing cards with Jannie, Hannah, Valentina, Federica, Emma, and Brooklyn at the hotel. I love these girls! I could go on and on about the amazing people in my life, so I will.
Jannie is so confident. I love her kindness and charisma.She is so sure about herself and I admire that a lot.
Hannah is the same, so sweet and full of light. She has always been a great example to those around her.
Emma, Valentina and Federica are our wonderful exchange students.
Valentina is from Moldova, near Russia. She is such a cutie and makes me laugh so much.
Federica is from Italy and she is one of the most likeable people. She got voted onto Senior Ball royalty!
I will surely miss these girls and everyone I have been able to acquaint myself with this year and last.
2))Riding California Screamin' at night. This was my first time riding this and It was incredible. Just close your eyes and imagine this::
a full, bright moon in the sky shining over the colorful lights of California Adventure as you wait to be shot up into the night. The cool, scream-condensed air rushing over your face. Over-looking the bustling world of Disneyland. the happiest place on earth.
My heart was the happiest heart on earth. I savored each feeling of total and complete freedom, taking pictures in my mind.
Stenciled in my memory is the raw served absolute exuberance of the feelings I experienced. The happiness I already feel for life only magnified the excitement of the roller-coasters ridden and the experiences I had while on Sr. trip. For some people, entertainment is indulged for the purpose of creating temporary happiness....
3))the beach! the salty whispers of foaming shore. A boy caught a seagull by setting food on a towel across his open arms. It was a good day for random.((
4))Gelato<3 better than custard which is better than ice cream which I never thought could get better in any other form.((
5))the longed for ocean of my heart at last<3 running in with my bff! getting covered in seaweed.((
6))magical Disneyland I cried when i stepped through the gate. and when i saw cinderella.((
7))riding on a three story yacht dinner at last. chillin out in the breeze. friends.((
8))grad night water show with fire! it was beautiful and so special. class of 2013.((
I will never forget the adventure of my Senior trip. My wonderful classmates, friendsies, adorable chaperons, kick-back good old fashion fun, celebrating life and the prospects that lie ahead. Life has been excellent and adventurous thus far in my life, and I can't wait for more.
It was pretty grand of a finale of my schooling career.
I am so excited for my future, for I know it will be filled with even greater adventures, vast endeavors and many cherished memories. Our future is as bright as we make it, and I am confident it will be very. I know that rainbows come after rain, and I also have learned more so, to just dance in the rain. Life is real! Life is short.
Take in every moment with sufficient indulgence so that you learn what you need to learn, love those who need love, and become the kind of person who doesn't simply breath to live, and live for tomorrow. Live for today. Live now. Embrace each new day with gratitude and excitement.
You're ALIVE! Like Kid President says, "You've got air coming through your nose! You've got a heart beating in your chest." Breath each breath with meaning.
In receiving cards in the mail from loved ones and friends on behalf of my graduation, I have obtained a similar message from all:
My grandma: "You are on your way to a full and happy life! Give it all you've got!! Always!!"
My friend Markee and her family: "...whatever big decisions you make in life, you will continue to make people smile." (aww)
My dad: "Congratulations, you did it! A wonderful, rich life awaits you; grab it and go forth with faith..."
My sister: " 'Today is your day! You're off to great places! You're off and away! You have brains in your head and you have feet in your shoes and you can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. You know what you know. And you are the [girl] who'll decide where to go! Oh the places you'll go!' You do know what you know and I am excited to watch you decide where you go and what your paths will be. There is not just one. Life is full of choices and adventures. I am excited and confident you will be very happy and continue living and loving."
LaRue Dove: "Knowing you, this is the beginning of all kinds of opportunities to enjoy your many talents as you go on to the next steps of your life."
The message is...this is it! I have come so far and have so much to give. Life has just begun and it is beautiful at that. The sun casts it' s most beautiful light at sunset, but the day is full of brightness and radiance and hope for a brighter tomorrow. I will be that hope. Let us all be.
And she's off!
