In a place so full of love, why do I feel so alone?

Backpack Backpack!

Well... this is it! I have successfully made it through high school and now it is time for my long awaited summer adventure! I don't have many goals other than to make friends and keep the ones I've made over the past year. I'm hoping that this summer brings me the happiness and joy that I've been waiting a while for.  Oh! and surprises! I am very excited for the surprises that await me when I get to camp. I like surprises! I'm just about done with my packing except for my book bag... this has been a week long struggle for me; should this go in there or that because if I put that in there this won't fit. There were so many things that i'd like to bring to camp but I thought that this year I'd keep it down to the bare minimum. So this is what I've got:
-my laptop
-my journal
-pens and pencils
-bandaids
-bandanas galore!
-a water bottle
-a watch
-a flashlight
-Chapstick
-sunglasses
-SUNSCREEN
-ALOE
-bugspray
-lighter

I'm quite excited to say that my backpack is just about ready to go to camp with me.
I'm quite excited to be going to camp
I'm quite excited for life
Happy Summer everyone who reads my blog! I love you all!

The 12 days of Summer

Looking at where I am standing right now in my life scares me. I am three days away from being done with high school, about to be full staff at camp all summer, and a couple months away from being a college freshman. I've been waiting for right now for a while but what did I think would be happening that I wished for these days to come so quickly? There are officially 12 days between now and the time I ship off to camp, but there are too many things that i would like to do in these 12 days.


1. Pack for camp and college
2. Have tea with great people
3. Watch sunrise over the Ocean
4. Learn my part for staff talent show
5. Transfer everything from my PC to my Mac
6. Do as much as I can with the youth of my church
7. Love every second of being at home
8. Love life even if things aren't the best over these next few days
9. Spend time with my parents
10. Go shopping at TJMaxx for everything
11. Go to the parks that are everywhere around me
12. Say Au revoir
