Tying Up Loose Ends

Today I have to go up to the school for the last time--truly the last time--just to tie up some loose ends before moving on. I have a theatre meeting, graduation practice, and some certificates/cords to pick up for graduation. 

I'm still not sure if I'm going to miss it. Hm. 

I feel like theatre, I won't miss for a while. It's bee such work this year, with so little fun in return. I could still do endless amounts of work over the next three days and not be done to get the new officers on track, but you know what? I'm not going to. I have faith in their ability to learn and shape our department, with or without the guidance they deserve. They will do phenomenally, and I am relieved that I can leave it to them.  

What has this experience taught me? That hard work is not always repaid, that some people truly have no concept of responsibility, and that it often sucks to be the person everyone turns to to get work done. But I have also learned that it is possible to be teenagers without being immature and dramatic, that there is such a thing as a family of friends, that relationships are probably the most important thing. And I have met so many amazing people this way, people I will never forget nor stop loving with all my heart. 

Whatever else this theatre department has been to me, I will always remember it as a place of friendship. 

Starting Out

Shortly I will be graduating, and I thought I would start this blog to 1) get back into blogging, 2) keep in touch with my friends and family, and 3) document my college experience. Hopefully this will be a success.

This is what my life has looked like for the past four years:

Enjoy!

PS - I thought I would take a moment to explain the title of this blog. First of all, I chose it in like five seconds, so it's not all that meaningful. But basically, I am starting this because all of us are leaving, going our separate ways, and it's important to stay in touch. Also, it is because of all of us (you know who you are) that I am the person I have become in high school, that I have done the things I've done, and, ultimately, that I have planned the things I have planned for myself. And lastly, in a broader sense, we should be motivated to succeed as we start out in the world because of all of us--because of everyone, all seven billion of us. Because whatever we do, we should do for the good of the world.
