                                         Kodi truly is the definition of bittersweet.


                       With no intention of sounding dramatic whatsoever, Kodi, you’ve changed my life.
                            Never guessed it would’ve turned out this way, but look where we are.
                       There’s too much to say to too many, and not enough time or space to, so I won’t on
                                        this page. (Will I regret this later? Probably.)
                       But alongside all the massive lessons this place has taught me, here are some things
                                             about Kodi I hope I never forget:                                                                                                  S H A K T H I V E L   M U K U N D
                                                                                                                                                                                       S H A N M U G A V E L
                     -The untamed skies that make it look as if God’s been playing around like a child with
                                                        crayons.                                                                                                                                 3 years @KIS
                     -My dorm seniors, their lessons on hygiene, the Kennedy buffalo uprising, and scaring
                                           the poor audience during dorm dance.
                       -My dorm juniors, our ‘Just Dance’ sessions, the sappy teenage girl karaoke nights,
                      finding our true calling as the Kodi Hippies™, and again, scaring the poor audience
                                                   during dorm dance.                                                                                                            Thanks KIS for the wonderful memory
                                                   -Mr. Pike’s emails.
                      -The Kennedy hammock and that carrot I secretly planted among Ms. JP’s succulents.
                                      - Cranberry juice is never really cranberry juice.                                                                                          that I earned during my school life
                     -Finally getting recognition for something sport-related, even though it was third place
                                         out of three in a relay race I slowed down.
                       -Compsci classes and getting unnecessary pros for being the only girl, Krish being
                                                  perpetually in trouble.
                                            -Being attacked for the way I say 3.
                                          - The class of 2020, all our lemonades,
                        setting Poondi on fire, our fake grad/prom/alumni induction/senior prank/senior
                                   sneak/class photograph/awards ceremony all in one day.
                                       - the abrupt end of everything, or lack thereof.
                      -Our spot above the tennis courts. I won’t be able to leave a flower for you everyday
                                        anymore, but this doesn’t change anything.
                                             -The green bleachers in old CC.
                                             - The people. Always the people:

                     There are so many farewells I’ll want to find wanted a better way to say. So instead, see
                                                      you later. :)
