It's August and that means two things: 1. Bathing suits are half-off at most major retailers and 2. School is back in session.
If you're 18-22 years of age you most likely are going to college. College is a time for new experiences and it leaves you with very little time for reminiscing about the past.
I'm a Design and Production major at UNCSA. A major that has one of the most complex schedules I have ever seen. A schedule that I'm pretty sure is going to dominate my life. Combine that with the stree of making new memories and friends, fully participating in classes, and trying to learn as much about my trade as possible, it's going to be hard to communicate with my squad. So this is a letter to them, Gee Golly!
Gee Golly,
You guys are front and center in several of my most memorable high school moments. We've danced all night, been locked out of IHOP, ridden roller coasters, and bowled badly. Some of you I've known longer than others, but I love you all the same.
I want so badly for us to stay as connect as possible and update each other on all the goings on in our ever progressing lives.I know there are going to be quiet times. I accept that, but I want us all to at the very least try.
So you each have a task.
Becca: Text Me PLEASE! I know we are both awful at responding to messages in a timely matter and just ignore the old ones. We are going to have to step our game up. If I text you there is no time limit and hopefully vice versa. Text me back, 4 hours later or 4 days later. I don't care. I just need you to tell me what you're reading and what to watch on Netflix.
Liv: Try not to have too much fun in Chicago. All the concerts you are going to be able to see. Ugh! I'm so jealous. I'm holding you to Lollapallooza, by the way.
Aubry: My ride or die. We'll be friends for ever. Don't hurt yourself playing rugby and try to have as much fun as possible. Go to parties, stay out late, and kick ass in the classroom. You've got everything you need to be successful and I know you can be fantastic, so just go and be fantastic! Okay?
To all of you: Forgive me for going dark and not responding to the group message or when I talk to much about wigs and my excessive amount of makeup. You guys are the three best friends that anyone could ever have and I love and am going to miss all of you very much.
See you later,
Samone J.
Liv said it best: "I'll always remember this friendship. From Greensboro, to Winston, To Chicago, and Boone, we'll always be friends."
