Determining the Truth


                   Hey there, determination. Long time no talk, huh? We used to go hand in hand everywhere we went, we did everything together. And together we embarked on some fun mini adventures! Like remember the 8th grade Student Council president campaign we won together? We took that running and planned 2 dances, and a boat load of spirit days! Or freshman year, The Sound of Music auditions? We practiced for hours on end to get every detail right for that part, and we got exactly where we wanted to be; Right ON that hill full of the sound of music! And who could forget sophomore year??  2 AP classes, 2 enriched classes, parts in two separate musicals, class board president, on the homecoming committee, and to top it all off we got a real job together! And never once did we let anything slip or get in our way of success.
                    We had a bond like no other, you were the “cherri” to my “o’s” and the midnight snack to my studying. And then I found someone new. In our world of GO-GO-GO, my new friend showed me to relax and take life one step at a time.
                   A "hakuna matata", “bear necessities”, “Yeah watch a Disney movie! That test isn’t ‘till like, second block!” kinda friend who just taught me how to relax. Procrastination and I have gotten pretty close over these past few months. I read facebook like an actual book and am twittering like a bird! I haven’t organized my chemistry binder since you helped me with the fall play, and I didn’t even have an APUSH binder until after we did the musical and the Disney trip!
           I'm not one to tap dance, now don’t take this personally, because you have done so much for me these past 17 years, but maybe it’s time you  started hanging out with some other people too. I know my friend Alex could certainly use a friend like you, Determination. Thanks for everything!
Love and hugs,
Elizabeth
P.S. Procrastination helped me find these videos to help you understand what I’m feeling. They are from our favorite genre. :)
This is me and you!
 Look at that goal oriented-ness!
We had the same mind set as Tiana, "Dig a little deeper, work a little harder"

Then here is me and Procrastination
Why work harder, work smarter ;)
It means no worries :D
