So I told my parents where I would be. And then I left my phone at a friend’s house. And then they called every single one of my friends searching for me, claiming that I hadn’t told them where I would be. So now, I have to email them every time that I plan on leaving the house. Just in case they forget when I tell them to their faces. Because that is 100% necessary.
Kara. I know that you don’t like doctor who and you think Matt Smith is creepy (why am I friends with you again?) But you have to appreciate how Matt Smith and I are both 7 year old boys.
I was just telling my little sister how he looked like a small child with a lighter.
It is just like “WHAT EVEN IS THIS? STUPID SENIOR WHY ARE YOU A SENIOR WHY?”
I said goodbye to 22 beautiful seniors tonight. I’ve known one of them for 12 years of my life, and though I’ll see her every day next week, and probably most days until the day she leaves for college, I am still terrified at the possibility of her leaving. What will I do when I can’t just walk to her house and say hello? What will I do without seeing her every weekday morning?
And what will I do next year when I am leaving my family and friends? Most of my friends won’t go to the same college as me. If things go as planned, most of us won’t even be in the same state. How can I say goodbye to all that I’ve come to know and accept as my life? And will I be OK?
Deep down, I know that the answer is simple. Yes. I will be OK. Because Jacquie will come and visit, and she will still love me, and I will be OK. Life is fluid, and change has to happen. My life may change and evolve, but my goal will always be the same; to live a joyous life, to love and accept others, to be self aware, and to encourage and empower others to do the same.
What every patient should be prescribed. Unfortunately, it’s so much easier to take a pill.

Dear HONY,
Hi, I’m a Columbia student and I’d like to tell you about the head of the classics department up here at Columbia in Morningside Heights. Her name is Gerry Visco and she doubles as a writer for the New York Post. She is the most eccentric, real, no bullshit, and indeed, CRAZY lady I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Just google “Gerry Visco” to see what I mean. She goes around the city and hosts all sorts of alternative parties and writes about them. She has the most unique and loudest fashion sense of anyone I know. It’s crazy, you walk up the the 6th floor of Hamilton hall and enter her office and just see all of these bottles of vodka and weird knick-knacks all over the place. You see this huge iMac and this forest of pink hair strands flowing in every which direction behind it. This is her head. She curses, she yells, she calls people out, yet shes one of the nicest, and most honest people I’ve ever known. If anyone deserves to be on HONY, it’s Geraldine Winifred Visco. She is intertwined with the history of New York City. Name a famous New York celebrity, and she can tell you about some time back in the 70s or 80s when she met them. I don’t know how you’d catch her on the street though. I would suggest walking right into Hamilton Hall and going up to the 6th floor and just talking to her. She’d LOVE the attention.
