An Open Letter To My Cronkite Friends

Dear Cronkite friends,

I miss all of you guys. The last time I saw all of your faces was last year in April or few days ago. Today, I want to send a message to all of you guys and express my feelings towards y'all. I hope you guys are doing very well in Downtown Phoenix (Well most of y'all) and can't wait to see you guys soon! So here I go:

The first time I met all of you guys was either at the Arcade party on the first day of moving in, floor 12, floor 14, at the pool, or going to a party in Tempe during our Freshman year. I remember we will get in trouble by the CA's, because we will be so loud in the lounge. Sometimes, I wanted to punch some of you guys, because you guys will get off my nerves, including Victor. Anyway, I love how you guys will make fun of my big butt when we're in the lounge or making a joke about eating booty like a Philly cheesesteak. That was funny. I'm so proud of what you guys are doing in Cronkite right now, I'm very proud of you guys. Here's a quote that I want to share with everyone and here it is:

"we're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone." - Orson Welles

I want to thank Keegan, Jackson, my future roommate Christian, Alec, Joel, Eliav, Chancellor or Chance, Epley, Sammee, Millman, Gaines, Daniel, Bailey, Delia, Luna, Mikey D., Zach P , Austin, Golan, Misha, Joe or Killian, Juan, Jozy, Brad, Richard, Nathan, Rachel, Isaiah, Casey (even though she is in France), Haley (Now a Cougar, booooo!!!), Yaz, Sav, Austin, Austen, Katie Pippen, Karam, Shane, Kling and Jacob for being there for me, especially Jackson, Christian, Sammee, Eliav, and Alec.

Let's start with Jackson:

Last year in February or March, you recommended "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" to me and I started reading it in October and finished it in March, because I was busy. I'm not going to lie, but the book changed my life and views. Thank you for your recommendation and if you didn't recommend it to me, I would've been the same person from last year. You're the real one!

P.S., I want to talk about the book when I see you soon.

Christian (my future roommate)

First, I want to say thank you for having my back, especially last year when I got kicked out of TP, because of money issue and I don't know where to go. You and Jack were trying your hardest to take me back to TP, but it didn't work well. However, I'm allowed to be in TP now! Again, thank you for having my back and I can't wait to live with you next year.

Sammee

Thank you for letting me stay at Evan's dorm room last year. If it wasn't for your help, I don't know where I would stay. I appreciate it!

Eliav

My (bleep)! Thank you for always having my back and giving me tips on life. Also, few weeks ago, I watched your YouTube video called "Failed To Succeed", and I got motivated by the words you said in your video. I was about to share it in here, but I couldn't find it on YouTube. I think you deleted it. Anyway, you're my man and I can't wait to see you soon!

Alec

I want to say thank you for always being there for me, especially last year. I don't know what I would do, if it wasn't for your help.

And for the rest of you guys, I'll see y'all soon and hope y'all have a great day!

Love, Henry Lyon

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
