Graduation Memories

On the last day of camp, the winners of the long-awaited color war, Mariners & Pioneers, are announced. For the past five years, I have cried on this day. The amount of work, stress, tears, lack of sleep, screaming, and joy that went into that game is gigantic, and it all comes down to one final moment-will we win, or will we lose? On that day, three hundred sets of ears listen intently. Three hundred people hold their breath. Waiting for the words. The final decision. The words that will end the summer for us all. The words we’ve all waited for since last year. The words that we yearn for and dread simultaneously. 

“And the winner is…” she announces. And just like that, one chapter in our lives has ended, only this time, allowing another to begin…

Christmas List pt. 2

First Semester

I can't believe the first semester of college is already over! I am flying home on Friday and even though it feels like I was just there, I cannot wait for Christmas traditions and to be able to stay home long enough to feel settled in. 

Highlights of this semester:

Getting ready before a game

Games at the Carrier Dome

FINALLY finishing all of my ceramics work/ (I lived through it...what??!)  

 

Loved visiting Christina at BU, transferring (??)

 

 

 

Missed Wellesley and its issues more than ever.

Thanksgiving break, saying goodbye to WHS :(

The view from the top.

Wouldn't have been home without a camp reunion. Love you all:)

Happy Birthday to my best friend!

Christmas Season

I cannot believe it is already December! The first semester of college has flown by but at the same time I feel like it's been 100 years since I moved in. The bells at Crouse have been playing Christmas music since we got back from Thanksgiving Break and it's really put me in the mood for Christmas shopping so I headed to the bookstore to pick up the ever original Syracuse inspired gifts for my family. 

Here's whats at the top of my Christmas list:

Ugg Mittens

Monogrammed iPhone Cases from Neiman Marcus

Lilly Bikini

Tory Burch Studs

Jonathan Adler Umbrellas

Semester 2 Schedule

Note the lack of art classes.

THANK GOD.

Striped Shirts

Out prep'd myself today by wearing my LLbean Sailor Shirt, Zoubaby's, and bow all at once. Two monograms in one outfit, oops.....

Wellesley High School

 

Early next year my high school is going to be knocked down and replaced with a new one. Although this transition is necessary it's been harder than expected to say goodbye to a place that has so significantly impacted my life. Today the school hosted an event to celebrate the history of the building and the memories that people have formed there. We got to climb to the top of the bell tower and admire the view of the town below. Going away to college has made me realize how perfect this town is and how much I appreciate it, I only wish I had realized this earlier. 

Taken from WellesleyWeston: "For some, the central Wellesley High School memory is of an athletic space: lining up outside trainer Patty Hickey’s cramped office for an ankle taping; the “broken in” smell of the “Upstairs” gym; the dead spot in the wood in the Larsson Gym where you knew not to dribble, just like the old Boston Garden. For others, the memory is artistic: the bicycle hanging from the ceiling in the Photography studio; the balcony sound and light booth from which to scan the whole auditorium; the view of students eating lunch in the courtyard from the second story windows. For so many members of the Wellesley High School community, the memory, and thus meaning, of their experience, whether as student, teacher, or a student who becomes a teacher, is linked with some idiosyncratic space—a nook, a cranny, a place where one found solace, inspiration, fellowship, ownership. As former English teacher Jeanie Goddard reflects: “…so many of us discovered how to be and how to teach and how to greet the world and one another” in this space, this Wellesley High School. In less than a year, the demolition of the 1938 building will begin, and students and staff will haul their materials into the new high school building next door."
