I leave for Orlando in 2 days and each and every moment that
passes is one more moment that I become scared to death to actually be
on my own. I remember the beginning of senior year i couldnt wait until
i moved and started college, now i am just unbelieveably stressed on
top of other issues. Little by little I pack more and more each day. I
started taking things off my walls yesterday which really makes my room
home. Its weird to walk in my room and see practically bare walls and
things in boxes and bags. If I have any words of advice for the
underclassmen it would be to not take this time for granted because
sooner or later it will all be over in a flash. Especially you
guardies. I would give so much to have it ALL back.
I've never been so stressed and taken on this much responsibility
before. It is quite exhiliratiing but at the same time you feel so
alone. Finally departing from all my friends, the guard, and my home is
unfathomable, i never expected it to be over so soon. Aside from moving
everything else in my life has been going very well...except for all
the unnecessary gossip and false rumors from people who know nothing.
College life should be an incredibly new experience and i cant wait
until the smoke clears from my eyes and i can finally breathe. Visits
home are going to be a must and will quite possibly happen often my
freshman year, until i get old of it and comfortable with my new home
that is. Friday morning is going to be such an emotional day. Im
going to miss everything so much...
Lastly, I want to share some things...
SABRES! I cant even begin to put into words how much i loved everybody
on the line and this picture most definitely has to be my all time
favorite. Just look at it..... we'll always be a sabre line.
JADDDDDDDDDDDDDE!! woman, I love you so much, depsite the times i was a
complete bitch on the floor when you would make comments and i just
wanted to slap you. Deep down i love you so unbelieveably much.
Remember those times in middle school when you HATED ME! haha.
PULL IT BACK!!
The guards dress-up day to pretend we are in other guards. Great idea,
bad day. It was 1000 degrees and we were DYING of heat and exhaustion.
Hilarious and Emma "Run.... RRUUUUUNNNNN!" Practice ended early and we
all went to Jades pool to talk shit about the instructors. Oh how i
miss those times. <3
Mr. Broadbent.... My other, other father. The man to has been the
biggest infulence in my life. Gosh, to not be under his wings anymore
is so sad, but thats ok he'll be making the independ guard soon... he
better. I truly love this man!!!!
Guard fashion show <3

4th of July... the night my life turned upside down... We look happy at that moment, but dinner was GREAT!
LAUREN fucking MADERA,
Where to even start..... UGH! seriously, just jump in my
pocket and come with me. I have no idea what i am going to do without
by my side and especially not being able to call you to hang out for no
reason when there is nothing to do. So many memories that I cherish
between us. I will forever come to you for everything because you
always seem to be right. I love you more than words can express and you
truly are a sister to me. You've helped me through SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
much and i dont know how i can repay you. This is going to be so hard
to say goodbye Friday morning. I just cant leave you, but its life and
i have to move on to other things, buts it ok, just make sure broadbent
starts the independent guard. At least i'll be able to see you when
you're with Braddock and Im with NEi, and aside from the trips home,
which i'll be making often because yea, you know. Everything in Orlando
will feel incomplete with you 5 minutes away from me because now it is
230miles. Lauren, aside from all the crap that you have been through
throughout your life I want to let you know you are beautiful, and it
is a shame that a guy cant see past other things. You truly are one of
my heros in life. I dont know how you manage to go through everything
you do in life and still proceed to smile as big as you do. I could
never do that. One day you will meet a boy who will fall so in love
with you it will be ridiculous. I understand you dont realize that now,
but you will as time goes on. You're 18, so young and a guy will come
to see that you are an amazing human being. :sigh: I love you
with all my heart, forever and ever and ever x's infinity.
