This is beyond surreal for me. Graduation has seemed so far away for such a long time, but this day is shortly approaching after four long years. I want to say thanks to the best dad in the entire world for giving me the opportunity to come here, I love you so much. Just know that I wish to be just like you when I grow up. You will forever be my role model. In these four years at VES I have made the closest friendships of my entire life. Jeff, you have been the best friend I could ever ask for, you're always so thoughtful. Merrill, despite our downs, our ups outweigh everything. You have always been there for me and our memories will last forever; I can't wait to make even more at sewanee. YSR. Olivia aka Mairi, I can't believe you aren't graduating with us. It feels as if I'm losing my other half because we are, in fact, the exact same person. Marj, kiawah...feellippeee...shut your snapper...these are just a few of our inside jokes. Freshman year we connected immediately and have been best friends ever since. Caroline, I will miss our long rides to and from Winston. Remember when we almost died? I will miss watching the hills every night on dorm. Our weekend at HSC will be one to remember...or not. MK what would I have done with out my right hand woman this year in student council, our funny nights on dorm, and don't even get started in snowshoe. Aly, my AP euro partner, thanks for always listening to me it means so much and I cant wait for Tay Sway. MeHegan aka cloggs, he's my boyfriend, just remember that. And just know birthday week will forever live on even if the posse doesn't. Alexandra, I always have fun with you and I can never stop laughing. I will always miss our zimmer dates, but I will you miss more of course. Maggie, even though we don't hang out all the time as we once did I want you to know that I will miss your great advice and your company even more. Bolling, don't ever change unless of course its to better your health, have fun at HSC. Brendan, you'll forever be leakin. Joe, hang loose. Lee and Wood you all made my senior year so enjoyable, snowshoe made me love you two even more.
The unforgettable: The SS, Afton, cabin weekend, Birkhoff weekend, the posse sophomore year, costa rica, no pink icing at beach week, SEVITNA, snowshoe, mimosa, leakin...
MLJ and DPG, oh the fun we've had. Thanks for all of your help and guidance. I can't wait to come back and visit! Underclassmen, just know that you're almost done so don't do anything stupid it's not worth it. Shout out to all of my Perkins girls: Anne, Minnie, Isabel, Olivia (hold it down next year), Ella, Dana and Mary Ashley. Show the underclassmen girls how it's done next year. Shout out to my favorite underclassmen boys: JR, GD, TF, SJ, AS, AY, KE, RT, PT and JJ.
If y'all only take one thing with you when you leave VES let it be the relationships because they are the best relationships you'll ever have.
