Emma-Lee,
High School. A crazy, mashed up, nightmarish day dream covered with glitter. It's 4 years in a place you'll vaguely remember in ten years after you graduate, either for better or for worse. If you find this, I hope you'll remember the information here for a long, long time and all through school.
With love,
Olive
