Actually I know how I forgot... Allyssa and Kristy know why too... HUHUHU.
Okay, annnnyways
18! with the love of my life <3
my baby Coco
So 18 was another really awesome year for me!
- I graduated
- Started university
- Went to Japan for the first time!
So about a month and a half after my 18th birthday, I graduated!
walking over the bridge with diploma + Scholerships :)
Grad was really fun, I didn't pay a ton on a dress (in fact my shoes cost more then my dress), and I wasn't really involved or anything, but I had so much fun! The ceremony didn't seem to take as long when you're one of the ones sitting up there, and our after grad was a complete gong show - but so much fun. Totally expected as my grad class was definitely one of the craziest and weirdest group of people :P
It felt weird to grad, and then afterwards move out of port mcneill and go to university. I had spent my entire life in McNeill with the same people, doing the same thing everyday, and not gunna lie I was terrified but SO EXCITED to leave, because Pmac sucks after 17 years ! haha.
It's funny looking back and thinking I'm only really friends with a very small handful of people from high school! I have nothing against the people I went to school with but even with facebook and everything we just don't talk anymore. I'm really happy to of stayed in contact with the ones that I did though, Dane, Becki and Shenaya really stand out in my mind as close close friends, you guys are the best, thanks for always being my friends, and staying close despite the distance <3. And close friends I mean still talk all the time and know whats up in my life and I know what is up in theirs haha. Sorry if you are reading this and thinking WHAT ABOUT ME?! haha. I still love you, but we probs don't talk much, so send me a message! haha. (really hope I didn't just hurt anyones feelings lmao)
So yes! after grad a spent a lovely summer working at the VIC, and then I was off to victoria to start my life as a first year student! |I had a great first semester! I made lots of new friends, learned so much japanese in such a short time, and over all just loved being independent. I mean now I would love nothing more then to have my parents worry about things like rent and food, but at the time it was AMAZING and so much freedom! My grades weren't the greatest (much better this year haha) but I was able to have a much better social experiance, seriously to anyone thinking about or going to university, don't even worry about grades, I mean, don't just slack off because you're lazy or whatever, but get involved in clubs, go to the free shows, and just enjoy university life! esspically in first year, because with starting 3rd year next year, things slowly get less and less honey-moon ish haha.
I also, in this fantastic year, got to go to Japan for the first time!!
I miss you guys ):
This was the most fanastic trip of my life. I mean the 2nd trip definitly comes in an extremely close second, but this time was like, my dream comming true! I had wanted this for so long and it finally happened!
I stayed with my friend Yui, in Akashi, which is in Hyogo, which is...right next to Osaka. (google map it)
I had so much fun going to Universal Studios, Shopping, and seeing the traditional stuff too!
Also her family was awesome! They were so funny and welcoming and I really love and miss them! It was great to also get to know yui better and after seeing her again the 2nd time and then again when she came to visit me, she has definitly become a very very special and dear friend to me
I LOVE YA <3
So yes, that was 18.
19 was the biggest, best, and craziest year of my life, so YAY fun post tomorrow.
Love you all
