Upon the day I moved into MSA, I would have never imagined it would be this amazing and life changing.<\/p>\n<p>I can say confidently that I am not the same person as I was when I walked in this place, but this isn&#8217;t a bad thing! I&#8217;ve grown into the person I&#8217;ve always wanted to be; the person I never knew I wanted to be. And the best part about it is I&#8217;m still growing. MSA has definitely shaped me into someone I&#8217;m happy to be, which has never happened before.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout this year I&#8217;ve met the most amazing people, who have been the most loving and accepting people possible. I&#8217;ve been hit full blown with the procrastination wrath, and yes, I did come out victoriously. I came out to my parents, which is something I was always so afraid of doing. I&#8217;ve played around with my style, (which includes chopping all of my hair off. Hey baby juniors, if you&#8217;re reading this DO NOT CHOP ALL YOUR HAIR OFF IMPULSIVELY). I&#8217;ve lost some friends and gained some, but I can say that I still love each and every one of them. I&#8217;ve gotten through the hard times, and made the good ones last. I&#8217;ve pulled an all-nighter doing school work instead of at a sleep over.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve found the beauty in collaging and the inspiration it can hold. I paid for pizza with pocket change, and in that moment I have never related more with a college student. I found myself not wanting to grow up for the first time, which is something I thought would never happen. I went from an introvert to an extrovert and then, yes, back to an introvert. I&#8217;ve found the beauty in other peoples words and thoughts. I&#8217;ve ALSO found the beauty in inspirational, cheesy, Ted Talks (I know I know, don&#8217;t come for me.) I created a &#8220;spam&#8221; account and felt the pain of posting something meant for your spam, on your main account, and I have never wanted to not exist as much as I did right then lol. I went about a month without caring about ANYTHING, until I logged onto ActiveParent and received a not too pleasing surprise (again, baby juniors, if you are reading this DO NOT SLACK OFF BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT BE PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME). I&#8217;ve cried over the stinky seniors leaving because some of them I actually look up to, and would practically die for (shout out to Zoe, Fidel, and Avery:)). I&#8217;ve met some all around, true friends who I absolutely adore and love.<\/p>\n<p>With all of that being said, I&#8217;ve packed my things and gotten ready for summer, and I am COMPLETELY ready for senior year. This year has been an experience that I will never get again, but I can&#8217;t help but have no regrets about anything that I&#8217;ve done here because in a way, I wouldn&#8217;t have come out as the person I am right here, right now.<\/p>\n<p>(ew sorry that was absolutely disgustingly sappy, but hey, give me a break:))<\/p>\n<p>And of course it wouldn&#8217;t be a blog by Vic without a song to end it.

IT&#8217;S AN AMAZING SONG.)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e2EV7TZbWwU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Junior year is slowly creeping to an end, and I have to say, it has been WILD.
