The routine that is set for you, as well as the people, and especially my very close friends. Something else I will miss is, of course, the way we start to mold into our best versions of ourselves.

My mother, for her ability to maintain mental resilience and endure whatever is thrown in her path.

Senior sunrise and my friends’ anticipation of starting our senior year.
