The Beginning of the End

It struck me that we have three legit days of CTY left, and then I will be done forever. Since nothing really happened today, I thought I'd give credit to some of the people who made CTY great, in roughly chronological order.

Ryan Crout: A nevermore on my hall in my squirrel year. Taught me the CTY spirit.
Zombie: I don't remember this kid's real name, but he made my first year hilarious. Slept through the fire alarm, mostly.
Declan Kennedy: My first roommate, and a brilliant one at that. Sidenote here to thank Katie Leu for making him adorable and Emma Manning for teaching me to spell 'roommate'.
Maggie Ginoza: Always, in my opinion, the best of us, she just makes CTY run way smoother thanks to her great people skills and maturity (yes, Maggie, I know you'll snicker when you read that). Moreover, she's a great person and a great friend and I wish I was closer with her.
Jane Sadetsky: She provides me with a bit of affection whenever I need it, and that makes my life so much better. Honestly, she's great, even if she does drown hypothetical puppies.
Lizzy Hardwick: Basically she kept the CTY that I loved intact. Only now that she's gone do I realize how huge of an impact and how vital she was here. We miss you, Lizzy.
Danielle: Honestly the best friend I've ever had at CTY. She's compassionate and forgiving and smart and amazing.
Molly: Oh man. She's really adorable. End of story. (It strikes me that she must have a last name..)
Jackie Allegra Choi: I could devote a whole post to her, so let me summarize: She's the only person I've ever met who made me believe in myself. You have no idea how great that feels, confidence in yourself. Plus, she's sort of been my closest friend forever and is just awesome incarnate.
Jeremy and Nicole: I don't know these kids, but the way they dance gives me hope for the future of CTY.

Really really sorry if I forgot someone.
