A toast, to giving toasts!

I really really like giving toasts. There is something about having everyone's attention for the sake of complementing the people you are with that is so enticing to me. Toasts give you a reason to moosh on the people you care about, to be completely honest about the things that seem to formal to say otherwise. In short, when people are as gleaming as the girls I am honored to call my friends, they deserve to hear it.

So cheers! To everyone who made
my summer what it was. Cheers to the people that I didn't see over the break, the people I am excited to see once school starts. Cheers to the things I learned, and double cheers to the people who saw enough in me to teach me those things. Cheers to the conversations that were shared, because, although I will soon forget the words that were said, I will always remember how they made me feel. Cheers to the days I took for granted and the nights I took for more than they were. Cheers to every step taken, song sung, memory made, smile cracked, hand held, and moment spent in undeniable bliss. Cheers to the challenges that engulfed me, for they too have sculpted me into who I am. Cheers to tonight! Cheers to my friends! Cheers to another unforgettable summer!

And with that, we enter a new, senior period full of plenty of opportunities for making toasts. Hopefully I will remember to take those chances when they present themselves because every great moment deserves a cheers!
