"...to all those who hear me all too well."
Freshman year is over, and it's the weirdest feeling, but I'm coming home missing all the people that I considered my 'family' at UIC. You don't realize it until you take your last final; you're done, you're packing your things, and it hits you that your closest friend for a majority of the past year will no longer be just a walk down the hall away. A walk's turned into a drive, a trip, or even a trek. The people you're used to having lunch with after a long day of lectures won't be as easy to meet up with as a text saying, "lunch @ the cafe?"
So this is an ode to those people; the ones that really made a big impact on me this year. I couldn't have made it out alive without each and every one of you.
Pam- Yeah, I know it's been one long year...we even had our first cry together! One down, hopefully only three more to go. I love you so much, as much as I love yellow gummy bears and boys that play tennis... ^_^ Besties since we were kiddies, and it ain't stoppin' now...
Thai- Can you believe our whole friendship started with, "who's this bitch?" Thanks for being there for me when I really needed you, and I think we need another sleepover night with tarot cards and hookah, okay? Don't forget about that video blog while you're in Thailand, okay? You promised, kiddo...
Jae- Modern just wouldn't have been the same without you. Thanks for being my sometimes mirror when I dance, and for teaching me to say words the wrong way soley based on how they're spelled, haha! (ja-la-pen-o, mo-ji-to...) DAHHH!!!
Raj- To start off, I must commend you on making my 19th birthday the BEST birthday ever. Good friends, good times...until midnight, lol! Thanks for taking care of me, watching out for me, and being someone to talk to when I really needed it.
Andrew- I finished Stairway to Heaven! Yay! Anyways, thanks for taking me to Cozy that night; really needed it. Still owe you a dinner you know...oh, and mission accomplished, I think we were the cutest couple at HC Ball...
Kay- SISTER! Where would I have been this year without you? Thanks for helping me out with everything, and being my State Street shopping buddy!!
Ale- KUYA! You're the best big brother anyone could ever ask for...I mean, come on, dunks for christmas!? oakely hoodie!? I love you soo much, ya-ya! Thanks for taking care of me, and telling me when I'm about to do something stupid. You can't leave me next year, please? I just couldn't bear it...
Kat- Ooooh my gahhh...like, I can't believe I, like, even met you this year! ^-^ Two semesters of the same class with you, with one of them not counting 'cause I get too lazy to go to class...Anyways, thanks for everything; the photoshoot, the random catch-up talks, everything. Same class again next year?
Tony- "These are my seven jeans, they cost more than your face!!" Ha, good times! Thanks for letting me pass out on your bunk that one day when I wasn't feeling good, haha! Just bummed that I'm gonna have to wait an entire summer to see you... =[
Sagar- Sags! Now, even though I beat you in the geo-bee way back in the day, I still love you, and I've loved you ever since that night....HAHAHA! No really, I really glad we're getting know each other better, not just as 'that kid i went to elementary school with.' Even though it was towards the end of second semester, I still had a lot of fun!
Ryan- Guess what? Regardless of anything, you're still a meanie...=] Just kidding! I really like getting to know you better, too bad it just had to be toward the end of the year... I say a photoshoot with your two favorite people (*cough*Leiah and Sagar*cough*) is in order sometime over the summer. Thanks for taking time to learn some of my raw-some dance moves.
