Senior Year Final Blog This year has been quite a roller coaster to say the least. There were many ups and downs along the ride but overall these past 9 months have flown by. I wouldn't say I hated them but at times it defiantly felt like I was just dragging along just trying to get where we are now. Overall this year was pretty fun and different than the rest. 5 Things I have learned this year You have to do what is best for you- Let people do what they want to do Throughout this winter I started to go though a rough patch for multiple different reasons.

This is a fictional romance novel written through the eyes of a girl in two alternating timelines. This book has a direct focus on friendship and how love starts to tie into that as you grow.
