I know that February is the month where your senioritis is seriously setting in. I remember my senior rut and how awful it was (you saw it happening) but before you know it, you'll be on a plane to Disney for senior trip and not long after you're walking through your graduation. The school musical will be closing, and everything will slowly come to a close. Despite all of these, I am here and always will be. High school may not be there forever but the friends that you make there will always stick and I learned that from you.
Maybe this week in particular is kind of long, but before you know it, the high school experience will all be gone. Summer will pass and college will creep up meaning our long distance will grow as you choose your new school. I know you hate me for saying this but you're growing older, but always remember, I'm still going to be older than you will ever be. You've been there for me for when I moved to a new state while switching around my whole life and now I'm going to be there for you.
You are absolutely my person.
No matter what, you'll be my goofball who knows every small, creepy fact about me. From all of our inside jokes to our random trips with the spontaneous decisions, we have created so many great memories at the least expecting moments. The world doesn't change too much from a public high school, so learn all you can while you're still there. Not just in class, but from the people you're around every day.
Take in what the English teachers and the History teachers tell you because they're not always teaching you the subjects, they're teaching you how to survive college. You've come so far from when we first met, it's time for you to see the world in all its glory. While this is all just another milestone in life, I'm ready to be there with you through every step. Whether we're skipping, walking, or sprinting for our lives, we're in this trip together. Today, tomorrow and forever, you're my best friend.
And so, here's to you and here's to me. Summer 2016, get ready to take on two college girls ripping apart the beach and taking on the world together.
