"The world's favorite season is the spring. All things seem possible in May." Edwin Way Teal (1951)
I literally cheered when the last bit of snow melted off my front lawn. It's about time! We've already turned our clocks ahead (which was the last thing I needed with a bazillion things to do), and we've gotten a taste of that 60 degree weather. I was so excited to be able to eat lunch outside, wearing my flip flops, and feeling the sun. Life is getting better, and I'm ecstatic to see what it has in store. May 18th will be the most bittersweet day of my life, and until that time comes, I'm treasuring every moment here at school. From every Monster to every 4am cram session to every time I can proudly wear my 'Sen10rs' shirt to all the memories I keep playing in my head with the fabulous Leanne Owen, these past four years have been the best years of my life. I'm so grateful to everyone who made them that way and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. <3
So, here's to March! May it be as exciting and as enjoyable as it can be! For me, I'm mostly looking forward to a happier month that the year before. It's hard to believe that last March was the hardest time I've ever gone through with the passing of my biggest fan, my grandpop. I still miss him everyday, and I always try to make him proud. This one is for you, Pop. I love you.
See you all in April for my last issue as Editor!
