Missing You

So the school year has finally come to an end, and I can truthfully say that this has been one of the most eventful years that I've ever lived. Since I don't really have much to do in the summer other than work and work on some of my personal summer goals, and also since I don't think i'll be hanging out with my old friends this summer, I'm going to miss a lot of things from this school year.

AphiO - Yeahhhh you guys probably knew this one was coming. I'm going to miss all of the things that we've done this year, from service projects like Uhuru and messing with pie dough with Massiel, Annie, and Nancy, and fellowships like all the random sports nights and playing badminton with Cath and having Kevin break my strings. I'll also miss all the random things we'd do, like heading out to Nations or In-n-Out after meetings and kicking it at the bookstore doing people watching. I can't wait for this summer to end so I can spend some more time doing whatever we do in AphiO.

My IC Friends - I really can't wait till next year to see all you guys again. You were all super awesome to meet and I really can't wait till next year so that I can go visit you guys again. My whole goal of being in AphiO is to meet IC brothers, because I believe that even though we are all seperated into different chapters, we're all brothers and we all need to coexist for the organization to succeed.

Car Rides - Even though driving is my biggest pet peeve, I enjoyed a lot of the times that me and my friends spent in my car. Accidentally driving to Oakland with Massiel and Anne, founding the Party Fouls with Anne, Massiel, Casey and Jon Scott, and even having Anne fall asleep on practically every car ride with me (and sometimes in mid-conversation too) have all been times that I'll never forget. One of the few times i didn't drive and had a great time was after Rebuilding Together Oakland when I had to drive with Helena. I still need to upload the video of that car ride because it was too dramatic to even describe. So many near death experiences and Helena's random noises and Oliver doing what he normally does in cars. Even though I hate driving, I enjoy riding with people that tend to make driving interesting.

Hangouts in Santa Cruz - Santa Cruz really turned out to be the place to be this year. It was hella fun hanging out with Monica, Andy, and Steph down there in SC. I liked how there was never a dull moment hanging out with them. Also, hanging out with AphiO in UCSC was super fun because of their new chapter and my little sib down there! I hope that they become an official chapter soon!

Rampaging the School - A lot of the destruction around the school was caused by us. I hope nobody reads this and gets us in trouble for it but yeah it was super fun causing some havoc on campus. Putting traffic cones in random places, like the tops of buildings, and making a road block in the middle of campus that lasted for a few days are just a few of the things that we did. Also, stealing traffic cones and using them to save parking spots and stealing signs just for the hell of it was super fun. Yeah destruction! Yeah first steps to ruling the world!!!

Late Night Walmart - Walmart turned out to be one of the most unlikely hangout spots this year, and all the funnest times seemed to come in the middle of the night. It became normal for us to head to Walmart in the dead of night and just have an adventure. From a tired deliriousness eating at McDonalds there and reading the strange sayings on the cups "MMMMM to AHHHHH is MMMMAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" and also Richanne's Triforce (Matt you better remember that), to walking around the aisles with Matt squirting lotion, hair gel, and whatever else that caused a mess (and almost hitting ghetto looking people with pillows), and getting almost kicked out for playing catch with a baseball in the middle of an aisle. Everytime we'd go to Walmart, we'd always end up having an unforgettable time.

Trips to San Jose - We'd usually travel down to San Jose for a visit to Gamme Beta, and those visits are always fun, but we'd go down there for plenty of other reasons also. Kahoo Ramen is steadily turning into one of my favorite restaurants because of the awesome tasting ramen, the great service, JaM music playing in the background, and the stealable pens. Also, hanging out at Kevin Lowe's house till the late night and playing Buzz TV and Rockband (Team Awesome and Team China!) was super funnnnnnn.

Sleeping at Sara's - So for the last few months of school, I basically abandoned my own dorm and slept around. That sounds terrible but for the most part, I spent my nights at Sara's dorm. Late night movies, comfortable air mattresses, Team 3's nighttime antics "Sean you look hungry"//"Where's Matt?"//"Grrrrrrrrraaaawwwwwrrrr", and the mini parties all made Sara's place the best place to be at night. I can't thank her enough for letting me live at her place for the past few months.

The People that won't be Coming Back - Massiel, you were probably the most cheerful and enthusiastic person I knew at school. I'll always remember you going "YEAH!" or "YAY!!!" after every good thing and for being one of the ones I went to for help when we were pledging together in WK. Jon Scott, I'll remember you for having one of the best and most interesting personalities out of all the people I've met in the world. I think you have a lot of great ideas about everything and yeah, to be honest I started looking up to you near the end of the year. Kelly, you were superrrr cool and I wish I had gotten to know you better. We never finished our "interview" hahaha. Hopefully one of these days we will!

Friends - Oh man you guys have all turned into hella good friends. I really shouldn't even have to write down why I'll miss these guys. I feel like I got taught sometime from every single person I met this year. Like, I learned how to do my laundry cause of Hazina, I learned how to cook cause of Sara and Conde, I learned how to always have an exit cause of Justin; the list goes on and on. Just so many of you had a direct impact on my life so yeah, thanks alot :]

Hazina - Aww Best friend forever and ever and ever! I'm gonna miss your randomness and the ability to make me laugh. You were one of those people that I could never be sad around and thats one thing that I'll miss this summer and that I'll look forward to next year!

Matt - I don't really care if people are gonna call us brokeback for this, but ima miss you this summer! I think you've made me change my vocabulary so much this year. You were hella cool as my Co for Fellowship this year and I don't think I could have done it without you. I know ima probably see you a lot this summer but whatevers ima still miss hangning out with you and making really random jokes about really random things.

Regina - Ahhhhhhh you were super cool this school year. I don't think a day went by without me and you ending up laughing hysterically at some really stupid thing. You turned into the one that I talked to the most about my issues and I'm gonna miss that this summer cause you'll be in GUAM!! But yeah I'm looking forward to next year Co :D

Shirley - I know you told me not to make one for you, but I am. So hah. And thats all you get. You know why you're special =] <=== look its your smiley face haha

So yeah, the last year was really fun and as you can probably tell, ima miss it a lot. So heres to the summer and heres to making even more things that I'll miss next summer haha.
