This picture is from band day at Florida Southern College during my senior year of high school, featuring the three people that I was closest to and am still close with (from left to right: Me, Eddie, Kinsey, and Katelynn). The mood of this picture is obviously happy. We got to skip school for this, so needless to say we were all pretty happy. Our eyes are squinty because it was super bright outside that day. My mom had the idea of saying "One, two, three, open." That idea didn't work as well as we all would've liked. We are a pretty close knit group of friends and our body language reflects that as we are all mushed together. This picture evokes so many memories. Late night talks, late night adventures to merry-go-rounds outside of k-mart, geo-caching, movie dates, and ice skating outings, just to name a few. The thoughts that comes from this photo is how much fun we had that day. We all sat in the back with my mom and broke rules that our band director put into place. Only because we were talking and on our phones for part of the time. It was senior year, we had to be rebels. I have some feelings of sadness from this picture because we won't have weeks of seeing each other ever again, well not that I know of. We are all going to separate colleges (at least we all will be when Eddie and Kinsey get into college), but I know for a fact that we will all keep in touch with everyone.
I'm going to remember the "1-2-3-open" trick! I wonder how your definition of "friendship" correlates to your previous entry about your field of study. Do you expect to continue making connections between people as means to enter your discipline?
ReplyDeleteThis picture reminds me of my college visits, which I look back on with a smile. However, I am similarly sad that I am separated from them. On the bright side, next summer is the time that you will be able to see your friends for weeks on end.
