"You never get a second chance to make a first impression"
But this class makes it possible to
"have a second chance to meet someone again for the first time"
I will love you if you give me a Roxberry smoothie or chocolate covered strawberries,
I think Parks and Rec and The Office are some of the best tv shows out there,
and just like everyone else, I'm dying to travel around the world
The first day of class I turned around and introduced myself to the guy sitting behind me,
we just said hi and exchanged names
which is ironic because that's probably the last thing I'll find out about him
I usually don't introduce myself to people
I'm more on the shy side sooo that wasn't the norm for me
but once I get to know someone I'm a lot more outgoing
You can ask Lindsey Huish, Malorie Whitworth, Nicole Smith, and Anna Reeder on that one,
I've been friends with them since Elementary/Middle school and I'm completely myself around them and I honestly don't know what I would do without amazing friends like them.
They've had my back through the good and bad times and I'm so grateful for them.
Also special S/O to Lindsey for telling me about creative writing and helping me with everything, you're the truest of homies
But I think this way is better- having pen names
I'm not going to lie- I liked the whole pen name thing
I chose the name Kay because most of my nicknames start with a K -haha so creative right?
and then I thought I was clever because Mokita means
"the secret we all know but agree not to speak of" in Kilivila
and that just reminded me of pen names because we all know our pen name but we agreed not to tell anyone till now.
There's no labels, no stereotypes, you can just be yourself, and others can't define you
stereotypes- I'm the quiet girl that likes to sit in the back, I'm definitely not one for attention and public speaking is not my thing, and I think I'm scared to speak up or give my opinion because I'm afraid of what others will think- even though I know I shouldn't care.
So ya, maybe I've already met most of you
But now we all get the chance to meet again for the first time
And this time names won't be the only thing we know about each other
This time we'll be having real introductions with real thoughts
and I
can't
wait
I've loved getting to know all of you through pen names, thanks for commenting and being real,
it's nice to meet you guys- again
