"Skyler! Get up!! You don't want to miss your graduation!!" My mom yells from downstairs. I get up and get dressed, wearing a simple blue dress with black flats. After shoving my upper extremities through the holes in a glorified cloth called a 'dress', I turn my attention to my hair and makeup free face. A dab of blush, a whisp of mascara, and a slash of lip gloss for my face. I wrestle my hair into a very messy but acceptable bun, then i'm ready to go. I then go downstairs to see my mom leaning on the open door. She smiles and walks out the door, not bothering to hold it open for me.

Graduation was hell, like, Lucifer may burst from the floor any minute. Hell. I could not wait to leave. At least my friends, that I met on YouTube, where there. Their names are Rebecca, Andrea, Jenn, Arden, Lauren, Jack, Andrew, and Anthony. They're my closest friends, so close even that Rebecca and I are moving in together soon! We are going to be renting an apartment in Los Angeles, California. I can't wait to get out of Missouri. It is the absolute

worst place to live. It's true, what people say, Missouri is just slang for misery.
