Senior year. What do people cleverly name their senior year photo albums on Facebook? The beginning of the end? Yeah, something like that.

I Sort of Cringe When I Reread Old Posts
Featured picture is somewhat irrelevant but I just like cats, so. I’ve always tried to be very strict with myself concerning this blog. I make spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes. It’s true.
