Shout-out to all the four-year senior boarders: Courtney, Merrill, Tina, Scott, and James. We are the true six survivors. Special thanks to: Eric, Marjorie, Mary Kathryn, Andrew, Sarah, MeHegan, Ashley, Joe, Caroline (Carty), Maggie, Logen, Aly, Alexandra, Parks, Tina, Dana, Olivia, Cody, Drew, Anne, Holt, Holly, Isabel, James J, Christian, Frances, Mandi, Meredith, Michelle, and Buck. My experience here wouldn't have been the same without all of y'all. Thank you to: Ms. Watson, Ms. Lowe, Ms. Grattan, Mrs. Frazier, Mr. Winston, Casy, Mr. McCormick, Mrs. Anderson, Coach Jones, and Mr. Knebel. Mary Ashley, you've honestly become one of my best friends in the past three years. I don't think I have more inside jokes or random things to laugh about with someone than with you. Best of luck next year, trust me when I say that senior year will be great because I know that no matter what, you can make the best of it. Ella, I'm glad we are on good terms because I don't know what these last two years would have been like otherwise. Feel free to call me anytime you need some of my fabulous advice or just need a life talk. James, I really lucked out to have been assigned you as a roommate. Even though we awkwardly didn't talk at all freshman year, it all worked out for the best. I don't think I'm ever going to be able to find another roommate to live up to you, but if I do I'm just going to tell you how much better they are then you. I expect you to do the same.
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own
inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart
