Can I just take a moment to say a little hallelujah for the college winter break? I mean, I've had a month off, you guys. The fact that this luxury was not extended to me during my growing up years now seems like a cruel injustice, and I want payback! *crosses arms and watches more Netflix* During these weeks of leisure, I've done quite a lot of work. When not catching up with friends and family who are home from college, I've been applying to colleges, signing up for scholarships, and studying for my SAT resit that's coming up soon. All I can say is, whoever said senior year would be the easiest year of high school was a big fat liar peanut, that's what. However, I can attest that this has by far been the greatest school year, and I'm only halfway through! In this upcoming semester I will go skiing for the first time, go to prom, go on tour with my choir, become an adult, and graduate from the easiest part of life! Now if that isn't something to celebrate, I'm not sure what is. ;) For those of you who are actually curious as to what I've been up to during winter break and since I last updated you on my school schedule, here are some mediocre photos. If you don't care, I won't be at all offended if you glide right past them: seriously, just keep scrolling, I don't mind. *writes your name on the naughty list*
In October our church had a youth retreat and according to tradition, our grade dressed up in coordinating outfits. (there are about 20 more of us) This year the theme was Disney Princesses; I'm on the far right as Ariel.
Christmas Party at my dear friend Alyssa's house!
My buddy Joy hosted a dance in her barn for all her senior friends. It was freezing, but I successfully line-danced anyway!
With my best friend Katie on Christmas day; for the last three years my family has gone to her house for the Holidays and we've taken a photoshoot each time. It's a fun tradition.
Just a couple weeks ago I watched the premiere of Downton Abbey with these ladies, and my friend Becca served tea and a glorious array of English delicacies as a treat.
Oh you didn't know that I'm part of an acapella group? Well yeah, this is my unofficially-named-acapella-group. We were at Braums after singing at a concert for my friend's sister who was raising money to go to Liverpool.
And this was our very first choir concert of the year, where I sang my very first solo for the very first time in front of an audience! Haha, I've come a long way from practically bursting into tears of embarrassment if someone heard me yodeling in the shower.
Bless your soul if you actually looked at all those. Now I'm off the write some more college essays and binge watch on Parks and Recreation before the break is over. Hopefully it won't be another three months before I do one of these posts. Let me know how your school year is going in the comments below! Are you a senior? If not, join in anyways! Reading your comments make my week. :)
