Every New Beginning Comes from Some Other Beginning's End

Similar to my post after graduation last year, I shall honor some lovely seniors who have greatly influenced my time at Saint Mike's:

Bev: Oh how I adore you. Your speech at graduation was wonderful. I loved the shout-out to Lightbody (aka I hope he made it to hear it!). I've enjoyed our work shifts together at IT and I will definitely miss you and our online-shopping, whether or not it's worth buying $135 rainboots... Emory and Hotlanta are lucky to have you not matter how in debt you'll be.  I'll be glad to add you to my arsenal should I ever need a lawyer! 

Raquel: I've also enjoy our work shifts together! You say the darndest things with that witty sense of humor. You are a magnificent person and I am honored to know you - especially when you belt out song with that fantastic voice of yours! I can't wait to see where life takes you :)

MUFFIN: Though we lived across the way, our paths rarely crossed. Still, I am glad I got to see you in passing! I wish you well in your endeavors for firefighting - you are such a dedicated and outgoing person and my fingers are crossed for you!

Anthony: I had missed you so immensely after being abroad! I was so glad we had a class together so I could see you on a regular basis. I am honored to be following in your footsteps as Drama Club VP. I was glad to be around my best friend who shares my brain! Just like you put on a show with minimal rehearsals, you will direct your life with full effort, enthusiasm, and class. Can't wait to see you when you come visit Playhouse!

Jake: Thank you for putting up with my insanity this semester, from a late-night trip to the ER to making dinner after I got out of rehearsals. I also enjoyed getting addicted to Doctor Who and Sherlock thanks to you haha. I'm glad that I was around for your final semester at SMC and I'm so proud of you constantly working on your thesis which turned out to be great! You know I love you and I know you can do whatever you set your mind to. I'm glad to be along for the ride :)


For my roommates: Although most of us were just two ships passing in the night, I loved living with all of you! I would do it again in a heartbeat :)

Allyson: I'm so glad you asked me to live with you this semester and reintroducing me to such amazing people! I will certainly miss hearing you singing around the house and the crazy shenanigans that ensued many a night in 403. I expect you to visit before you get a real-life job haha :)

Caitlin: Woohoo names! Our side of the floor was clearly superior - I'm so glad that I got to live with you this semester and get to know you better. It seems like so long ago that we were in class with Rose and Hope; I would've never guessed we'd live together! I already miss the guitar-playing! Mexico is lucky to have you and maybe I'll come visit for Spring Break next year! 

Sam: Finally after Dead Man Walking and student teaching, I'm glad we finally got to hang out! Sitting out on our porch people-watching and enjoying the good weather was one of my favorite parts of the year. I also enjoyed being the communication between you and Cait when one of you was in the kitchen, the other upstairs haha. I miss you all so much! 

Anna: As the only two non-education majors, it was nice to have someone who understands haha. You make me aspire to bake more (especially from scratch!) and everything you made smelled and tasted DELICIOUS! It was also great to have someone else who understands the difficulties of being lactose-intolerant haha. You are also so stylish! Loved all your skirts and dresses :) You're such a great person and I know you'll go on to do fantastic things! I hope you enjoy Colorado!


To TH 304:
Thank you for eating all the extra food/baked goods I brought over and letting me eat your food. Many a night I was glad to overhear some interesting conversations, exclamations over video games or reddit, or discussions off the beer wall or brewery-related excursions haha. 



Thank you SMC Class of 2013. You have impacted my life and made it more than I could imagine. SMC will not be the same without you. 

Sending you all my love and appreciation, 
Katelyn :)
