Important Moment #1: All Night Grad
Important Moment #2: My Best Friend leaves for College
Important Moment #3: Beach Week
1. all night grad. We spent hours upon hours running around the Herndon Community Center, getting our fill of free prizes, free massages, free caricatures of ourselves, fun and tiresome games, making music videos, and a mentalist's mind-blowing performance. I can't even remember all of the activities from that night, merely hours after we had graduated. I had so much fun, but in the back of my mind I just kept thinking about Annie's departure. At the end of the night, as the prizes were being announced and the time I had with her before she left kept slipping away, I was somber. Not sad because I would see her again, but somber. She was taking life by the horns, she was brave.
(By the way, I won a $25 GameStop giftcard, which I traded for a Starbucks giftcard. However I really shouldn't complain, one of my friends [a boy] won an assortment of GLEE games and girly notebooks. poor guy.)
2. annie's departure. Tears, that's all I can remember. As her car came to a stop in front of her house, I didn't even want to get out. I just wanted her to stay. But it was time, she needed to go. As we came face to face after getting out of the car, the waterworks began. I refused to face the fact that she was leaving until this moment, because it just would have been to hard. I have become so close to her and her family these past few years, and I hope that our friendship will be one that lasts!

3. beach week. I was extremely nervous about beach week. There were two groups that didn't usually mix staying in one house for a week, my friends and soccer boys. But it couldn't have worked out any better. The guys told us how much they appreciated us for being who we are and not worrying about what others had to say. We appreciated them for being completely different than what we had heard others say about them. This week was probably one of the best weeks ever. We were free to do whatever we wanted when we wanted to do it. It was a snapshot of our lives to come in college and beyond.
