Hi friends,
This post is not much more than a big thank you note, my friends who are close to me know I am much better with writing than speaking so here is my thank you.
Laura,
When we became friends in 7th grade it didn't turn out too well, but by junior year we had it figured out. You have been a rock for me. Even when you were mad at me and I told you I didn't want to be friends. You have a beautiful soul and the world deserves to know you. I know one day I will see your name on the news for solving world hunger or something like that and I will be so proud to say that you are my best friend. I am so sad it took us till we were 17 to become so close but I am so happy we did. Seattle is getting one of my favorites. I love you so much and will miss you dearly. Thank you again for everything.

You people are insane...but in a good way. You guys remind that there are still great people in the world. We are the most unconventional friend group but we are probably the most fun. Thank you for telling what I needed to hear and not what I wanted to. Thank you for supporting me through all my phases and not even batting an eye. Thank you for trusting me and letting me do all my crazy things without judgement. And thank you for being you. You guys truly live life the way you want to and don't let the judgement of others hold you back. Through the good and the bad I will always love you people. Thank you.
Bailey,
I hated you most of childhood. But then something happened in high school and we stopped fighting like sisters and we became best friends. I will forever cherish our chats about boys, tv shows, life, and stupid people. You have never let someone pressure you into doing or thinking anything and that will pay off for you majorly in the long run. A&M is the perfect place for you and I can't wait for all the stories I will get to hear about. Thank you for always supporting no matter how often my opinion changes.
P.S. Seth Cohen will always be better than Ryan
Haley and Sofia,
Trio for life, am I right?! How many friends can say they won 3 state championships with each other ( probs not many). Thank you for making life more enjoyable and never failing at making me laugh (seriously, I would say we have spent a good 92% of our friendship laughing). It will be incredibly weird not playing with yall next year and I am so jealous of your future teammates. They just got some of the best teammates out there. I will miss hanging out with yall and then getting incredibly confused as you two fall over crying from laughing at some stupid vine. Never lose your sense of humor ladies. You both will do incredible things and I can't wait for our dinners on college breaks and getting to hear all about parties, dates, games, and practices. Life is more fun with you two. Kick butt next year and I love you guys.
My Skyline Family,
The past 7 years have been a roller coaster and I wouldn't have asked for it any other way. You guys have taught me so many life lessons that I will forever be thankful for. You guys have done so much for me and I would not be where I am today without yall. I love yall and thank you for everything.
Matalee,
You make me more mad than any other human being on earth, but you also make me laugh harder than any other human being on earth. The only way I know how to describe you is an onion. You have so many layers and each layer just gets more and more beautiful. I have been living with you for 18 years and I am still barely scratching the surface with the layers. Thank you for listening to all my rants, telling me that some of my fashion choices are actually very, very bad, and teaching me to not be so afraid of love. You are so smart and beautiful and I know you are going to do incredible things. Thanks for being the best big sis a girl could ask for! I love you so much.
THE group ( katie, dani, kathlynn, taylor, marcella, lizette, haley, sofia, chynna),
Oh man, the memories we have made the past three years. Thank you for being there for me through the embarrassing breakdown, celeb obsession, weird phases, and everything in between. High school would have sucked without you guys. I will always rather spend valentines day with you gals than any boy haha. I will miss you guys more than you know. Go out in the world and show everyone all your talents. I love you guys and can't wait for our stupid reunions with each other.
Mallory,
Good Lord how to I even begin this. I am tearing up writing this because I have so much to thank you for its too long for any letter, so I am just going to make a list. Thank you for my endless letters for my many breakdowns, for white rock coffee runs, for late night phone calls, for calling a boy and telling him he was an idiot for hurting me, for supporting me no matter what, for forgiving me for every stupid thing I have ever said to you, for our car rides, our jam sessions, our "plays", our drink concoctions, our life talks, our stupid inside jokes, our attempts to be healthy but failing because chocolate is always better, for making me laugh when all I wanted to do was cry, for driving to my house at 2 am to give me handwritten letters, for still being there for me through all my phases, and most of all thank you for being the best best friend someone could ask for. Knowing that in a month you will be more than 200 yards from my house breaks my heart. The world needs more people like you. Austin is about to get the best gift they could ask for. Thank you for everything, keep doing you, no matter what anyone says. I love you and will always be here for you.
Mom and Dad,
Thank you for being the best parents I could ask for. Thank you for being my parents and not my best friends. Thank you for supporting me through all my phases, through my complete style changes, hair changes, friend changes, school changes, belief changes, and just everything. I was probably the weirdest kid to be a parent to but you guys did it perfectly. Thank you for all our life talks and all our talks just making fun of stupid people. I will miss you guys every day next year. I know I always talk about wanting to get as far away from Dallas as possible but that has nothing to do with yall. I think you guys are the hidden gems of Lake Highlands. You are nothing like other parents and I am so thankful for that. Thank you for being great role models for me and loving me with everything in you. You guys rock and I love you very very much. Thank you for everything.
Many more people deserve thank you's but I don't think I can type much more. Everyone: keep doing you. I love you guys so much. Thank you for everything.
Much Love,
Morgan
