All throughout high school, you picture yourself graduating and getting the heck out of that town you're stuck in. You’re focused on doing what you want and never looking back; but we always forget the part where we have to say goodbye.

None of us knew we would find each other. We didn’t know that we would find people who were completely different yet the same. We found a piece of us in each other and that's what connected us. We accepted everything we were and we became the home for those who never wanted to go home. I didn't realize this moment would come so soon and we would part our ways into becoming the people we hope to become.

Us leaving to make something of ourselves seems crazy when just 3 months ago we were still in high school. It's weird because we still laugh at childish things and we still have so much left discover. Our daily adventures together will now be with other people.

The happiness I have found with you guys, will be left in memories. I'll miss having to get ready for concerts 8hrs before because the boys didn't want to be late. I'll miss Sunday evenings spent at a $3 movie theatre and Thursdays on the balcony of a restaurant watching the clear sky turn into a storm. I'll miss the random adventures to places we've never been and the usual spots we will never get tired of. I'll miss all the things that made us, us.

To my fellow college friends, they say in college you meet the friends you'll have forever, but what about you guys? What about the people that knew me before? Those should be forever too; at least never forgotten. College will give us new memories and friends, but it will never take away the memories we hold inside.

To the ones that still have another year of high school to endure, make the most of it and stay true to you.

To all of you, always do what makes you happy, always do what’s best for you, always stay you, and last but not least, know I will always remember you.

This is for the eccentric, the attentive, the driven, the passionate, the reserved, and the ones that believe they are undeserving when they deserve the world. Here's to the schmammered memories, the thoughtful moments, and the indescribable best friend. To all the wallflowers in our gardens.

Thank you to the uniqueness in all of you, the memories cherished and reminding me every day how beautiful life is. This isn't goodbye, this is a see you later.
