Hide and Seek

So, in case you haven't heard . . . I survived my first year at UC and (maybe more importantly) in DAAP! haha ;D These past nine months have been both the hardest and best in my life. I don't want to forget this.

I feel like I have changed dramatically and learned so much. These are some of the most important things:

Janel and I can watch "Rent" ad nauseum and never everrr get tired of it. Oh- and we will never reach a conclusion on the "which one of us will marry Adam Pascal" argument. =p

DAAP is not nearly as intense as people think. But it's true that your crazy 3D projects will not do themselves if you wait until the week they are due to work on them.

I will never fight for anyone's attention. If it's someone who really cares about me, I don't think I should ever have to do that.

If anything strange is going to happen during the day, it will happen to Courtney, Janel and I. ahahaha.

Facebook chat is ideal for having shocking and intense conversations. haha. But, if we're being honest, I would always rather talk to you in person.

Courtney and I don't usually follow through on our big, mischievous plans (e.g. streaking, making our movie). haha. But it's totally okay to dream =]

If there's something you really wanna do, do it. You'll never get as many opportunities to try new things as you do in college.

I'm not nearly as good at being alone as I have been in the past. I feed off the energy of other people.

Relient K's "The Bird and The Bee Sides" album is amazing at relating to you and making you think. It also keeps me in "the zone" throughout three-hour drawing studios. (=

Theta = love. I don't need your stinkin' stereotypes. My sisters are amazing. :D

I'm incredibly good at finding "useful" things to do while putting off homework. =p

"Beautiful" by Taylor Swift and "Just Around the Riverbend" from Pocahontas (haha wtf, riiight?) will alwaysss get stuck in your head.

I try to always give people the best of me, but I slip up sometimes. That's why the people who love me despite that will always be gifts in my eyes.

Chances are, I think you're exceptional. =]

I can't believe this year is over, but I look forward to everything awesome we'll encounter in the future. For now, I'm just gonna make some hometown memories in the meantime. ;] I appreciate everyone who respected my boundaries, those who pushed me to break them and those who were just plain there for me. I don't forget easily.

Love. Bee.
