Well, it’s finally here. I have been waiting for the schoolwork to end for MSA. And now, it finally has finished. Of course, I’m sad that I didn’t get to say goodbye to the seniors, but this next school year is going to be amazing (I’m positive). If you’re an incoming junior, please feel free to look at my old blogs. One of them has a list of what I would suggest bringing. Anyways, I want to reflect on some good memories that I had this year. So without further ado, here we go.
The Art Room: At the start of the year the art room was the hotspot that everyone hung out in(until we couldn’t because a lot of us weren’t visuals). But I’m telling you, the art room was chaotic. People did nails in there, played strange music, etc.
Elizabeth: Elizabeth held a couple memories for me(Elizabeth is the white building at MSA). One time Azya and I danced outside there playing spooky songs like the Monster Mash. There was a party going on in the Phoenix, but I felt a bit uncomfortable, so we had a lot of fun doing that outside. Also, we played games at Elizabeth with many friends which was a good time.
The Literary Room: Ah, I’m telling you the literary room is the most chill classroom. We got a coffeemaker, jazz music, classical too. I wrote most of my good pieces in there. But one thing that I also did was slightly procrastinate. How? I’d be over there talking to Callie for hours about anything and everything. It was a good time for sure. I think I got inspired in my writing most of the time when Callie and I talked(Hey future roommate).
The Outdoors: Those who actually slow down enough to see the beauty of MSA’s beautiful landscaping would tell you that it has some major calming properties. Some of my favorite things I did was make ‘flower bouquets’ and hand them out to my friends. You see, I would get a leaf wrap it up and put flowers in it and shove a stick up the leaf. It took a little bit to do, but it was so nice. Also, I loved looking up at this one particular oak tree. Specifically in the evening when the lamps would turn on.
All in all, I made so many good memories at MSA, and I hope that I can make many more with you all. I wish the best for this next class coming in. May you find the peace and joy that I found and will continue to enjoy this next coming school year. Have a good break, learn a language, practice your craft, garden a little, but most importantly take care of yourself.
