Springtime Shenanigans

Yesterday was yearbook day (aka one of my most favorite school days ever). I absolutely love the yearbook. Let me explain with an analogy: yearbook day is to me as pretzel day is to Stanley in The Office. If you are like "girl, you crazy! I have no idea what you're talking about!" then let me tell you that man lives for pretzel day. Maybe this will help explain.

So while it would be extreme to say that I LIVE for yearbook day, it is an accurate statement to say that I love it. A lot.

I really can't even believe that today was my last yearbook assembly EVER (unless of course there are yearbook assemblies in college, but that is doubtful). The theme of the yearbook this year is "Answer the Call." here's a picture of me taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of my yearbook (obsessed much?):

At the assembly there was a slideshow of some of pictures in the yearbook. The last song in the slideshow was "The Call" by Regina Spektor (aka one of my most favorite songs ever by one of my most favorite singers ever). I admit, I got a little sentimental. I just can't believe high school is almost over..it's so surreal right now. I am definitely excited for college, but I still don't think it's totally hit me yet that I'm actually leaving.

But enough sentimentality. Here's a fun fact for the day: the other day we got our 8th grade predictions back & 2 things about mine stood out to me.
1. My handwriting has significantly improved since 8th grade
2. I predicted that I would go to college in North Carolina (and I am..how crazy is that?!)
I know it might not seem that cool, but it's so strange to me because I honestly have no recollection of thinking that I would end up going to Wake Forest (or any North Carolina school for that matter). I'm not sure if I had even heard of Wake Forest when I was a wee 8th grader. So all that to say, my true calling is to be a psychic. Why am I even going to college? Beats me.
Speaking of college, today was college t-shirt day at school. And I LOVE college t-shirt day. It's just so fun to see where everyone is going! Now I bet you're thinking "Wow, Sarah..you sure are enthusiastic about life!" and that would be an accurate statement..not gonna lie, yearbook day AND college t-shirt day in the same week are pretty ballin. Plus, awards day is Friday! And even though it's the longest assembly evaaa, it's totally worth it because we get to miss 2nd period (and most of 3rd) and some of my favorite people ever get awards! What could be better than that?! (technically, a lot of things could, but you get the picture).

In other news, there are only 20 days until graduation. I think today it finally hit me that I'm actually graduating. Side note: earlier in this post, I said that it hadn't hit me yet, but I kind of cheated (if cheating on a blog post is even a thing) & wrote that part yesterday. Just wanted to clear up any possible confusion. Anyways, it's still weird to me. Let the emotional rollercoaster begin.
Oh and I almost forgot..today was the first day that all my we the people friends were back at school from nationals in Washington DC! They got 8th place (that's IN THE NATION, people). I am so proud of them & have been living vicariously through them as they have uploaded countless pictures to instagram. What can I say, I'm a wtp wannabe.
Well, I will close today's post with one last picture..this little treat was waiting for me when I got home today. I sure will miss these little surprises next year. Let's just say that the chocolate did not remain in it's wrapper for long..if ya know what I mean;)

well..that's all for now folks. happy spring..enjoy it while it lasts!
