I wish I could flip back the pages to the start of high school so I could relive such an
incredible chapter of my life. I met people that I wouldn’t want to spend one waking
minute without, people that I hold so dear to heart . I also befriended some of the most
entertaining human beings, so thank you guys for the memories I’ve made with every
single one of you. It is most certainly impossible to forget all the parties and the gather-
ings (specifically the Christmas themed ones). To the teachers and staff, I will forever be
grateful for all the effort you put into teaching and raising me. Finally, a special thank
you to my family who have always encouraged me to be the best version of myself. I
promise I’ll continue to make you proud. I love you all from the bottom of my heart and
have no idea how I’m going to cope with not seeing all your beautiful faces on the daily
anymore. I truly am blessed to have found people as extraordinary as you at such an early
stage in my life. You’re my family. #TH

Grey’s Anatomy, and
stressing myself out

There is a universal truth we all have to face, whether we like it or not, everything
eventually ends. As much as I look forward to graduating, I’ve always disliked end-
ings. Last day of summer, last episode of a show, parting ways with close friends. But
endings are inevitable. Leaves fall. You close the book. You say goodbye. But just
because we’re leaving, some people who are so much a part of us, will be with us no
matter what. I’ve made many close friends through out my time here. I’ve become
friends with people I never thought I’d ever talk to. Id like to thank all my close
friends (and my L family) for the unconditional love and support. Thank you to all my
friends who were there for me when I needed them, and thank you for keeping up
with me, you guys know who you are. We have all come across good times and bad
times, we struggled and succeeded. We passed and we failed. And to be honest, yes,
it truly does pay off in the end. Im glad I got to spend a major part of my life in this
school with the amazing people I learned to love.

good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even Media/Film Studies
more art.” -A.H
