The End :(

Five lines for each one
Then seven in the middle
And you end with five

Senior Year Has Come
I tried to be rebellious
And I failed at that

Lunch time spent outside
Shenanigans and ping-pong
I'll miss that a lot

Grad nite is here SOON

And then prom comes after that 

Good times approaching

Senior Year's Been Hard

Work Until the last Second

But now we are FREE

Moving on in life
B-R-O-W-N
Plane tickets are booked.

My Garden!

I absolutely love my garden. Every time this year, I consider myself to be subsistent. I could live off of the vegetables growing in my garden and I really wouldn't mind doing just that. I have an abundance of lettuce as you can see from the picture. I am also growing 4 types of tomatoes, 2 types of zucchini, 5 types of peppers, celery, and cucumbers. YUM! Every single item is grown with such love and care and I personally love how fresh my vegetables taste. I noticed that store bought vegetables taste chemically grown in comparison to my vegetables. I really think that more people should take the time and grown their own garden.  It's so peaceful to come out twice a day ( once in the morning and again in the evening) to water the garden. Seeing the vegetables grown from a seed or sprout into an abundance of delicious vegetation is so amazing!

Making Some Interesting Realizations...

Every time I turn around, I am being reminded that this is my last year and final year living at home as a kid. I know that I can come back during breaks from college, but it won't truly ever be the same as it is right now. I basically have no real burdens to worry about, my laundry gets done, food is always available and ready for me to eat, and a nice comfy couch is ready for my company. I just realized that how much I love my mom's cooking and that I am going to miss it so much when I go to college next year. I realized that I like my privacy in my room and that I might miss that alone time next year when I have a roommate. I realized just how nice it is to have a backyard that I can go in and I especially just realized how much I love my garden. I realized that sure all of these things are mine and will be available to me. But they will be available to me at a distance. I just realized how much I love coming home and escaping the drama of the day.
As I make these interesting realizations and as summer and college approach me faster and faster, I wonder what emotions I am really feeling. I wonder if I will be okay being so far away from the best homemade tacos ever!? I wonder if I will be able to cope with my now mysterious roommate. I wonder if Brown's Main Green can become my new backyard.
I guess I will just have to wait and see...
