Friends, thanks for making this such a fun time. I can’t remember the last time I laughed that much. Laughing is good for your soul people. Meaning this weekend was good for the soul, This squad is good for the soul. Take notes if you’d like! But for real I am really thanking God tonight for these friends and the place they hold in my heart! Such a big smile after this weekend!
Also, huge thanks to my date Paige for the awesome water bottle with fun stickers, for introducing me to red bull, and for having the best attitude about everything. It so made a difference when we were helping get everyone to the event last night. Seriously made a kind of stressful situation 1,000 times better. Thanks for coming with Paige! #awk #punk
Formal weekend last year made me realize how blessed I am to go to school with such cool people. Formal this year made me realize how blessed I am to be friends with such cool people at the best school. Austin, the squad will be back. Until then, stay weird AND stay thankful!
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
