Yearbook day: The Day To Feel All the Things

The yearbook cover is gorgeous.

 I usually hate yearbook day because I have to rack my brain for things to write to people who have little significance in my life. This year was different.

I think that it's because, after three years, I'm finally finding my place in high school. I have so many people I consider to be friends that make my time worthwhile. I have so many memories with so many different people, whether they be from choir, musical, classes, etc. It also helps that most people have come out of their shells by now and I have notable, non generic compliments to write in their yearbooks.

My original favorite yearbook message was Fred's, which was "I was going to write something obscene but you wouldn't let me." The message that emerged my final favorite was Reeves's: "You are random in the best ways. You're like Juno minus the pregnancy." He then tacked on "Bagpipes. Snails."

BEST. COMPLIMENT. EVER. I feel strangely honored to be compared to Juno (minus the pregnancy). I live my life in hope that I be seen as belonging in a Canadian Indie movie about a quirky pregnant teenager. Of all characters to be compared to, she is possibly the best.

After that was year end video for the rest of the morning, where pictures of school functions and generally unrelated amusing video clips are tacked together into a nearly two hour, student created film.They ended with the grad section, which left me feeling very sad and sentimental, even though I have a year left. I have to keep telling myself that.

This afternoon held the choir party at Ms. G.'s house. There was lots of food, more yearbook signing, swimming in a pool made of liquified Antarctica, observing the comically fluffy dog and cuddle piles while lazing in the sunshine. It was probably my last time hanging out with most of the grads for a long time. SO MANY FEELS.
Love,
