Hey old friend. There's so much I could say about you. You were the second semester of my sophomore year, when I grew and developed in Christ as never before. I went to the prayer tent for the first time while you were around, and AMI, too. I was a Mini-O's referee with you, and I got to be in Kevin's family group for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW with you. That was one of my biggest 2010 triumphs. Actually, let's make a list of my top three 2010 triumphs.
MY TOP THREE 2010 TRIUMPHS
1. Growth in Christ.
2. Jon and Cami's GLORIOUS UNION.
3. Being in Kevin's family group AGAIN.
There is some bad news, though, buddy. With you, I had the most stressful semester I have ever had to suffer through. Now, don't worry, I'm not blaming it on you. We got through it and it's over now. But it's because of this last semester that I'm all too ready to say goodbye to you. We had fun while it lasted, and I want you to know that I learned a lot from you even during those difficult times. I think it's time for a highlight reel. And when I say reel, know that I just mean another list, with lots of colors and things.
THE 2010 HIGHLIGHT REEL-LIST (Blue for SUPERGLUE!!!)
1. The Class of 2010. I was and still am madly in love with almost all of you. Just so you know, when I really like people it is impossible for them to escape my feelings, so...we're in this forever.
2. Class of 2013. I didn't start talking to you guys much until 2010, and even though things were and are still rocky sometimes, I really value each friendship I've made.
3. WELCOMING. I love welcoming. I will do it every SINGLE year. It is one of my favorite things.
4. College House Alumni Ambassadors. Dude, we had some mad good times, even though for some reason I was always busy with non-CHAA stuff. For the life of me, I cannot remember what it was. Oh hey, it may have been GCC. Hahahaha, oh my. Anyway, remember that time we met all of these super awesome old people who were related to half of the people we knew in real life and were really great at having conversations and also knew GRACE KELLY PRE-PRINCESS OF MONACO? Oh my gosh.
5. The PRAYER TENT. Listen...I love you. I was so devastated when you didn't show up this semester. I hope to see you again in 2011, you awesome thing, you.
6. AMI. Wow. You helped grow me so much in so many ways. I made friends with some people and strengthened friendships with other people, but most importantly I grew so much in my relationship with God. This was great, but made even more so by the fact that I had to go back home afterwards. I needed that booster.
7. Moving in early. This seriously has to happen every year. There is nothing better than sitting around with friends with no classes to show up to. Every.single.year.
8. SUPERGLUE. Oh, hi there, love of my life. I don't think I need to say much here, since I say it everywhere else. We are forever.
9. Gregory, muahahahahaha. I honestly believe that we are some of the most awesome people alive. People scoff at us because they don't know where we are and because Gregory looks like a prison, but you know what? If people don't know where we are then they obviously aren't cool enough to have been given a reason to come to us. Also, if Gregory is a prison, it is friggin' Azkaban, because it's full of B.A. witches and wizards.
10. The special speakers at GCC. So cool.
There isn't much more I can say besides goodbye. I'll do what it takes to improve on the 2010 Tavi, and you...will go down in history.
