for the next few posts, i'm going to post some of my favorite memories and favorite things about some of my favorite people in the entire world. i'm going to start with the lever-ten girls and work my way forward chronologically.
to all of you: you made me stay. you all know that i applied for transfer to college of charleston three different times throughout my college career. you are the only reason i'm graduating as a tiger instead of a cougar. i love all of you so, so much.
Katie McWhorter: i remember that first day we moved in to 10A6 you said to your mom "did you see all her harry potter books? i think we're going to get along." and get along we did. most of the time ;). thank you for being a great roommate, even when i wasn't. my favorite memories are of playing that man vs. woman scene-it game, dominating at HP scene-it, and that night when pj and i decided to split an entire bottle of nyquil. thanks for making sure i didn't die. another great moment was when tay and i discovered that you weren't, in fact, getting "chemistry tutoring," but were dating your chemistry tutor! and now you're getting married!
Laura Oglesby: my only management friend! i have loved having classes with you over the years, even if you have a far greater entrepreneurial spirit than i do. i'm so thankful for your take-charge attitude. we'd never have made plans to do fun things if you hadn't been there to make the decision! i can't wait to see what you do with all that talent!
Taylor Davis: tay, words can't express how much i love you. i am so grateful for your loyalty and your love throughout the years. our first bonding moment was crying on each others' shoulders that first day in the lobby of lever when our parents left. then we had to go sit through that alcohol seminar. what a weird time. the summer after sophomore year was one of the best times of college. I loved our QT. and we had a LOT of it!
Meghan Ables: you are one of the strongest women i know. you know what you want and who you love. i admire your willingness to go after those things. i loved our crunchy club times. eating at "stiletto" alllll the time. watching you mix your cereals like a pro. watching you play flag football like a pro in death valley. tailgating with your parents. chatting with you during your breaks at camp. hanging out at the lake. trying to save the float from floating away and jumping on it, just pushing it further out into the lake. in full clothing. in march.
Morgan Padgett: oh, morg. i love you so much. hanging out with you and fondie on valentine's day. watching you eat 302498 boxes of thin mints around your birthday. sitting under your loft and chatting for hours. i'm so excited to see how you influence the lives of so many kids. what a blessing you are!
Kathleen Culhan: francine, when i met you freshman year, i never imagined that we'd end up living together for almost three years! i remember going shopping in anderson alllll the time freshman year. (how did we have money to do that???) i remember sobbing with you all through "ps i love you" and then sobbing the whole way to waffle house. waltzing through the living room in daniel square. playing in the leaves with fondie. sitting with you while you watched josh walk back and forth across the parking lot ;) and look how that turned out!
Larkin Shaw: fondie. fo-fo. lafonda. fonz. fofie. lark. i loooooove you! my anchor. my perpetual "date." my fellow dreamer. an artist after my own heart. i'm so, so, so, SO thankful for you. watching you fall 234983 times a day. listening to the hilarious stories you have about your kiddos. giving you rides all over campus when you tore your acl. sitting on the front porch doing homework/avoiding doing homework. chatting with you about how freaking cool our soulmates are going to be. and how late they are. i'm so excited to watch you live.
so that's all of 'em. next up: the non-lever-ten girls. watch out, chandler, kristan, sarah, caitlin, shelby, emily, jenny, claire, and laura v.
