Room Search
Episode 25: Finding the Past
So in my bit of boredom this morning waiting for a call to chill with people, I decided to take a look around my room. In the back left of my closet, I found a purple crate. Once I moved the various Teddy Bears and footballs and such, I found a Herndon High carrying bag. It contained a ton of things from my past, that represented my time at Herndon.
So in my bit of boredom this morning waiting for a call to chill with people, I decided to take a look around my room. In the back left of my closet, I found a purple crate. Once I moved the various Teddy Bears and footballs and such, I found a Herndon High carrying bag.
Much to my surprise, I opened it, and there were a ton of different things inside. And the weird thing was, they were all interesting parts of my past at Herndon!
1. Well, maybe except for the coffee mug. For now, I'll just say that the mug represents HHS as a whole, and can be a good memory of the cool time I had there.
2. Ahh the dead flower. This is from prom 2006, where I went with my friend Maggie Osburn. I didn't know if she was going to get me a flower or not to pin on my suit, so I went ahead and got her one to give me. She ended up surprising me and getting one that better matched with her dress, so my mom said she was just going to keep this one. Now I know where! XD Sadly, our time was ruined because Maggie got food poisoning from the place we ate at!
3. The Box. Inside was a clock from prom 2007. I think it's ironic that was a clock; because my date was so boring I couldn't wait to get out of there. She was just talking to friends and ignoring me at after grad; so I hit up the Texas Hold Em' table for two hours and CRUSHED. Everyone.
That ended up being the highlight of prom!
4. This robotics button. I have no idea who made this button, or who gave it to me, but it was in the bag! But I feel like this represents my friends, as I had many who were in robotics. It also represents the running joke where I was "in robotics." I would show up and crash all the team parties, and well as other robotics events and even wear team apparel. I've had parents at the team party apologize for not recognizing me. :P
5. The paper plates! These represent so much to me. These were paper plates for chorus, but we also got them at the end of the drama musical(which I did Junior/Senior year). It became such a fad that one time, my drama friends and I just made them for each other. They we're funny. XD
I didn't have the lowest note of the guys nor was I even close to being the best sight singer, but it was cool to get these anyways.
6. My Pitch pipe! I was so glad I found this, I thought I had lost it! It represents the singing part of my time at HHS. I received it when I was elected as Vice President of the Madrigals my senior year. I must admit... I felt cool carrying it around and using it in my regular classes. XD
So I thought I'd just share this because I found it really interesting to find all of these things. Not only did I find them, but in one bag, and it carried things that expanded across my adventures at Herndon. I don't know why, but I am interested in the past. If you guys found any memorabilia about your/our past, that would be awesome. XD
