hello hello hello

oh god you guys. i am a wreck in so many ways!



i miss the laughter.

i miss adjusting the tape on kenzie's card from "jake" so it wouldn't fall off the wall. i miss the times we'd convince ourselves not to eat that ice cream/that cookie/that chocolate-- only to fail miserably about thirty seconds later. i miss the hallways that became extensions of our rooms. i miss looking out my door at 3am and seeing heads bent over laptops, books strewn across the floor.

i miss sitting in a circle playing games, grumbling good-naturedly at a loss or punching the air with victory. i miss surreptitious shots taken quickly in my room; i miss the failed peppermint patty debacle. i miss the strains of music floating out of every room. i miss late nights in 326. i miss meticulous discussion of miley cyrus lyrics.

i miss the stories from the morning after; i miss the gasps, the wide eyes, the "oh, no!"s and the "no way"s and the sheepish grins and the smiles from ear to ear. i miss the excitement that spread like wildfire whenever someone put up pictures, and the ensuing twenty-five comments left by people who were "studying, i swear!"

but most of all, i miss the laughter.
