To my soulmates, aka the girls who literally know every single thing about me, thank you for being you.
Around my Junior year in high school, I was still searching for a solidified friend group. I had some close friends, but not a huge group of girls like I had always imagined high school would entail. It was hard, simply hard. Newsflash: girls are not always the nicest. Then halfway through the year, all of us decided to get sushi for someone's birthday. When I got home from dinner, I laid on my bed and realized I had found my best friends. You know how when you meet someone and you instantly click? Like you know you are going to be best friends? Well that's how it was for me. Thanks to that sushi dinner, I found my "people." I came from a small private school of about 30 people in my 8th grade graduating class, so you can only imagine what entering a high school with a graduating class of 460 was like. Finding friends who I could be myself with was difficult, especially amidst finding who I was Freshman and Sophomore year. I got lucky though, finding these girls my Junior year. I shouldn't say lucky, but blessed. Whether they know it or know, they have had a huge impact on my high school experience and for this I don't think I could ever forget them, no matter what has happened or what will happen. When Senior year rolled around, we hung out virtually every weekend and I think we can all agree, it was pretty great. Senior year was one of the best years of my life. Then the summer came and we hung out at least three times a week, and most of the time did not get sick of each other (that's when you know). Having a friend group that you can go to for everything and do anything with was one of the absolute best things about my Senior year. I had a support system, and a bunch of girls who loved me. They really changed my life. Now, I am sitting in my dorm room thinking about home, about my best friends all over the country. I miss them and am still trying to find my soulmates here. It's hard though, trying to find friends that are truly irreplaceable. No matter what happens in the future and what has happened in the past, these girls will always have a place in my heart and a part of me with them. To all (if you have ever been in the group chat) #ecigs: Thanks for being great at life, love you all forever & always. xoxo Jo
