So That's That

Today was my final day of being a subject of the public school system. Now, I've taken my first steps as a true adult. I've had my final day of high school.

Okay wow.

I've been waiting 13 years for this. From that first day of aching separation anxiety and tantrums when I walked into Mount Vernon Elementary. Then in 3rd grade, when for reasons I can't recall, I transferred to Jefferson Houston School for Arts and Academics, a school that shaped the way I looked at creativity. A quick move to West Virginia, and I found myself in Country Day, a private school. Then on to Spring Mills, which I count as my turning point in life. After all, I met Alex and Lizzy there. :) Finally, I entered my final chapter: Hedgesville High School.

Here, I learned more than I ever could have guessed. I found out a lot about myself. I cut my hair, learned to love writing, and came out. I fell in love (kinda twice) and fell in lust (kinda eww) and fell all over myself trying to find out what the hell I was doing.

And I freakin loved it all.
Even when I cried,
I loved high school.
Because of my friends.

Those reading this most likely count themselves among that number I call friends. Know that I love you, I cherish you, and I will use what little I learned in math to find a common meeting point between ALL of our colleges.

So there.

See you later,
Rachel

wut is this i dont even

This is something like a blog now, yes?

I have... no idea what I am doing.


But I think I might have a plan here.

Along with this being a sort of public diary for you all, narrating my ascent into college life, I've added a twist.


On the first of every month, you all may "challenge" me.


You comment, giving me a challenge that I must complete within the month. I'll update you on how it goes.

Now a challenge can be anything from "bake a batch of cookies" to "make a new friend" to "climb onto the roof and shout various breeds of dogs at the top of your lungs". It'll be fun.

...right?

That can start June 1st. It'll give me some time to spread the word that this blog actually exists.
For now I'm not giving myself deadlines on posting... just gonna see what happens. However, that might change someday.

Anyway, I love you all so much.

Love,
Rachel.

PS: I gotta poo.
