Here Comes Goodbye.....

This last week before leaving for school was filled with more goodbyes than I can count. It was filled with laughs, hugs, tears, and many, many parties. Many of my friends took all of us leaving for school as an opportunity to throw a bash. My best friend Jenn had a big pool party for a bunch of our friends. It was really fun. We played stupid pool games all day, and then relaxed in the Jacuzzi in the evening. One of my other close friends, Anna, threw a dinner party at her Dad’s restaurant. That involved really good Asian food (and Doritos), dancing, and a hilarious slide show of our past four years together.

Another one of my good friends, Amy, had her own dinner party. We all dressed up and ate in her nicely decorated backyard. We drank “mocktails” and ate some delicious food. Later, we played charades and reminisced on the good times. I also had a bunch of friends over for one of our traditional “Dane Cook Viewing Parties.” A lot of my friends, along with myself, have an extremely unhealthy obsession with Dane Cook. We like to get together and watch our favorite skits from his “Vicious Circle” DVD. It was really fun to get everyone together to watch one last time before we all go off to school, but also somewhat sad knowing that we won’t be able to do that for a long time. Everything is really bittersweet now that I’m leaving. I already miss my home, friends, and family, but I am also so excited to get to my new home, new friends, and new Stonehill family.
