Friday the 13th

     Happy last day of high school everyone! I have always looked forward to Springfest as the best day of the school year. All of the attention is on the seniors, you just chi11 all day long, and you get out of school a month early! How could it not be the best day? Well, it was a great day besides a few minor issues. I believe that all the bad things that have happened to me today are to be blamed on by one thing: Friday the 13th. I am really not a supersticious person at all. However, I am convinced that I have been cursed. I never freak out if I see a black cat cross the road and I can open an umbrella in the house without expecting bad luck for the next seven years. My birthday is on March 13th so 13 is my favorite number. Yet, Friday the 13th managed to put a major damper on my day. It all began when I woke up. I was supposed to drive my uncle's awesome electric yellow golf cart, pimped out with monster truck wheels and flame decals on the side. Of course, my cousin put oil where the gas is supposed to go and blew the engine. Next, my back up plan failed me too. I rode a lawn mower which I thought was pretty cool. That all changed when the driver decided not to break and plow right into Marc Golsmith riding in a wheelbarrow. I honestly thought we killed him. Luckily, he did not suffer any major injuries and was able to get back in his barrow and continue riding to school. But the bad luck streak didn't end there. I really wanted to win the ghost game in English. I was one of the last five people and of course I spell "yell." Such a buzzkill. I actually thought I stood a chance against Ms. Serensky. Lastly, I worked so hard on the senior issue of the school newspaper and expected it to be great. Yet, upon reading the first page I found at least ten flaws. Shout out to Meghan Shroyer who is going to attend Colgate next year! I'm sorry I forgot you in the senior destinations section Meggie. Despite the few set backs in my day, Springfest was a memory I will never forget. Seeing everyone with their college tees and reflecting on the strong bond our class has formed since we were little kids made everything worth it. Bye, bye Blogger! Hello college!
