This Spring especially has been a busy one. Senior year in general has been a roller coaster. Right now I’m writing this post after attending 14 graduation parties. I’m so zapped for energy, but I’m planning on going to a party later tonight.
So since I posted last I’ve been quite social. Lots of parties towards the end of senior year. The parties have been a blast and have prepared me for college well I think. Flaunting my single status at prom I made out with 4 girls(all in good fun)…and at other parties I’ve made out with guys in front of people. Thinking back I think Andrew from 11th grade would’ve been so scared by how social I’ve gotten it’s weird to see my social progress. A year ago I was never invited to parties and I’d say I had like 2 good friends. But now with my senior year I’m proud to say I’ve gained more friends while keeping my old ones close and have had “that senior year” that everyone talks about.
One not so social experience I had was I had to do my May program working at Minnesotans United for All Families with Duke…who I’m not on good terms with at all. Last we really spoke he threatened to kill my dog because another ex of his was planning on egging his car(not that anything actually happened) but it was awkward and lonely since his friends were working there and I was made out to be a freak of some kind. But the internship did serve me some good I now know: I don’t want to go into politics, how to talk to strangers about essentially anything, and the complicated inner processes of politics.
So with graduation coming this Monday I’ve decided to just kind of make a list of accomplishments and what not of my year:
- Came out to lots of friends and family
