Going out with Elise and Bianca and being crazy together. Almost all moments spent at camp- finding a best friend in a 12 year old, making it to lookout on my first 3 day Out Trip. Scuba diving in Koh Tao. Spending time in Melanie's kitchen drunk. Playing operation Kans. soo much more.

22) What's something you learned about yourself and others?
I learned that I need to work on thinking about things before reacting. I've learned who is important in my life. I've also really noticed the things I value in my friends. I appreciate how caring Katie is, how she can give you the best advice and I admire her drive and strength. I admire how much Melanie has changed, I see how many friends she's made and how she can walk into a room and light it up. I appreciate that she is always there to listen and is going to say 'anything for you'.
I've learned that there are alot of things I want to work on as a person. I want to be more patient and understand things better than I do. I also learned that I'm an emotional wreck.

Telling someone I care about alot, that I had feelings for them. Scariest thing I have ever done, and considering how I feel at this moment in time, a bit regret.

My parents telling me they would give me money for my Australia trip.
