This week is Senior Week in my house, this means that we all celebrate the graduating seniors as they head out from the real world. Every night, we have a certain event to celebrate the seniors. Monday night was a fireside. A fireside is a variety of things, but this fireside was our entire house gathered around and sharing memories of all of the seniors and it was so funny. It was nice to hear stories about the seniors as they were freshman and pretty immature like the rest of us. Some of the stories I heard made me jealous that I wasn't around to experience the same things as them or know all of the same people. This fireside went on for almost 3 hours so I ended up leaving before it was over because of different stuff I had to do. Last night was really funny. We had a thing called "willing". Willing is a ceremony that the seniors pass down certain items or titles that they were willed the year, two, three, or four years before that. An example is the "Queen of Sass" was passed down and I'm still a little bitter that I didn't get that. But I was willed two things. One was from my great-grand big and was a bag of Hershey Kisses because we are the "Flirty Fam". The second was the "Freshman Forever". I was so excited to get this because only a group of us get them every four years. Eight of us were willed this and we are all so excited to do it. We have to do one every year and then we will all pass them down when we're seniors. Tonight is a roast, which is a classic roast when the senior's littles or best friends make fun of them in front of everyone. It should be hilarious. Thursday is a secret that I can't say and Friday is something special with just the seniors. It's been a wild week and I'm definitely going to miss a lot of them. I've loved getting to know them this year and hearing all of their stories that prove that I will grow up so much by the end of the 4 years. I feel as though I've already grown up so much over the last year and I am so grateful. A lot of my friends haven't really grown up and I can't even stand being around them because their whole lives revolve around drinking and boys.
I am so thankful to be a part of something that makes me a better person :)
