Hey future Tharindi and Samantha,
Today we started a blog! We thought of the idea after making a very long (and hopefully realistic) bucket list. Right now, we’re in Corona Quarantine because we need to stay 6 (or maybe 13???? Idk info v confusing) feet apart (haha remember that time we had to stay inside/not go to school for like all of 2nd semester?). Instead of the basic Corona Diaries, we decided that a memories blog is better cause like all memories. I don’t know how active we’ll be on this (hopefully we remember to update this!! But like we are two MAGNET high schoolers with very busy lives). I think we should start the blog with some freshman memories because future us probably forgot everything. But for now, we have this lovely, totally grammatically correct letter XD. (also we finally used our knowledge from English and properly formatted this with an introduction, then Samantha’s part, then Tharindi’s part, and then a conclusion). Anyway, on to Samantha :)
It’s been sort of a drag, spending all this time at home. I only really go out now to run and bike (well except today (I went for a 2-hour walk while FaceTiming Tharindi)). Oh BTW, sorry for ruining your knees by running all the time. I know I’m going to regret it, but just so you know, running is my life. I love it so much and I love track and I love Melina and Fran and Queen and without track I would be a totally different person. What’s really sad though is that this year we could have gone to states for the 4x8 but we’re out of school for lovely freaking corona. Like me. Melina, Iris, and Amelia. I’m so sad though Iris and Amelia are going to become faster than me next year :(. Anyways, this isn’t just supposed to be about track, it should be a reminder of all our favorite things. Do you remember that this was the year you started the food blog? Or that I’m currently publicist of the all-time best club, Board Games Club? Oh!! Remember your first crush? That dude named Seth. Yeah, even now I don’t know why I liked him (actually that’s false, it was cause he was funny, but really that was it). Also, do you remember the different friend groups? Meeka and Ollie and Alena and Jiaoli and Lana in the Middle School Group. Tharindi and Kiera in the Gum Group. Sam and Iris in the Volleyball Group. Lottie and Cece and Jamie and Seth and Lana and Kira and Tommy G Raps and Cooper and Alex in the Lunch Group. So sorry how long and boring that endeaver was with friend groups, but you know, having all these completely seperate friend groups is actually a really big part of my high school life right now and it gets a little confusing and lonely but it’s all good cause peeps (Tharindi and Lana and Kiera and Sam and Alana) got your back.
Hey future Tharindi! I honestly don’t know how to start this or even what to write. I’ll start with what I’ve been doing though in sophomore year. For one, I joined theater (I know right!!), and I made the dance group (btw, dance is one of my escapes in life and I hope it still is for you). The theater performance (1001 Nights) was a huge freaking success, and I loved every moment of it (even the late rehearsals). This year, I also joined SilverChips Online (https://silverchips.mbhs.edu/), and I’m really excited about it (except today, I was a huge embarrassment during our first Zoom call (I know, not a surprise)). I also joined Paper Bridges (the orphanage thing, remember?) and somehow made Local Outreach officer???? Yeah, I still don’t know how that happened, but Yichi (the president) is amazing. I hope you continued to work with Paper Bridges because it’s an amazing organization :) I also did the musical this year (it was canceled because of corona …), and I made the dance group plus choreographer. I wish it wasn’t canceled because it was In The Heights and I was doing it with Jocelyn, but I can’t control these things. Also, in February, I started stanning BTS (and Jin is my bias <3 with JK as my bias wrecker) and in April, I started stanning TXT (bias is Yeonjun) and Ateez (no bias yet??? Maybe I’ll mention one later). I hope you continue to listen to their music because they’re freaking talented. OH (thank you Samantha), let me tell you about my crushes hahahahahahahahaha. I first crushed on Shane, then Ben, then Arya, then Shane, then Arya, then David, then Shane, and now nobody :) and honestly, I’m thriving this no-crush life. Also, I have no clue why I liked Shane so many times (nobody does, sorry). If I get a boyfriend (doubtful), I’ll be sure to update (lmaoo). Also, I got really into k-dramas over corona-break and I finished Criminal Minds (I cried so much, oh my gosh). Ooh, a quick recap of freshman year --- I literally did nothing except that one thing over the summer (teacher’s assistant during summer school). And just because I feel like it, my celebrity crushes are Matthew Gray Gubler and Kim Seokjin (seriously, both of them are freaking heartthrobs). Ah, let’s talk about friends. Ok, so my best friends are Samantha Rodriguez (that should be quite obvious considering this blog) and Jocelyn Hao. My definition of best friend is the person/people I’m closest to. My closest friend group consists of Jocelyn, Isabella, Sumin, Eesha, Emily, Hawon, and Ashley. I have another friend group with Samantha and Kiera. A group chat with Jocelyn and Anika. Another with Jocelyn, Kiera, and Asher (I have no idea if I consider Asher a friend …) Another with Jocelyn, Ellie, and Isaac (yeah, not sure about this one too). Another with my theater friends. Another with my dance friends. I don’t really feel like digging deep into this though. I wonder who my friend groups will be in the future. Anyway, I love you :) and I’m glad we started this.
Love you!
Samantha and Tharindi
