Looking through

all my albums marked "Senior Year" on Facebook (which are all on private, so none of you have access to), perhaps high school wasn't entirely that bad.  Going through all these photographs is definitely making me smile.  The only bad part of high school was the education and the extremely unskilled 'teachers'.  I'm the kind of person who has only a handful of friends, but am close to everyone one of them.  And I had and still have a small handful of friends who I am still close to (though I don't talk to them every single waking moment), and I'm genuinely very thankful for that (speaking of Thanksgiving..).  Even the friends I weren't entirely close to, they were still loads of fun to be around.

I'm also thankful that I'm such a photography freak, and loved to take the time to capture all these wonderful memories.  Makes my stomach feel all fuzzy inside.

Sentimentality and nostalgia are very strange and foreign feelings to me.

I also think cutting my hair above my shoulders was a very good idea.  I am going to grow old and look back and think 'that was one of the best decisions I have ever made'.
