Dear Second Year,

I could call you my Sophomore year but you weren't completely because I was classified as a Junior right after Winter Semester Mid-Term. A lot of things changed and maybe I do have some regrets, but all in all you had a good year. So let's look at some high lights. You had your own room with a connected bathroom. And yes it wasn't your first choice but hey you got to have an RA that you really knew and it was an opportunity. You had a very fun show with songs from Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 as well as a song from Turnadot. And you got to do Band Day with the song "Show Me How You Burlesque." You were challenged in band in this year but all in all you had a great year. You got to meet Dalton in Stage Makeup. You decided that you needed to question your sexuality when a girl touched you and it felt different. You were cast in a one act. You got to know more theatre people on a personal level. You joined SPARC. You took American Sign Language. You got to volunteer with people at Hope. You made friends with a tree named Barnaby. You joined choir and took a very interesting philosophy class. And there was even more you did. You became an O-Team Leader. You got to to Florida during Spring Break. ASL Gloss you learned. Time, Location, Topic, negation/comment/question. You got a sign name. You met a person from Canada. And you were able to reconcile with the name Adam. Deal with that. And even though I became a 19 year-old Junior, there are going to be more things next year. So... have fun life.

Yours Forever,

Allyssa Marie Wetzel
