This is my friend Jess.

We became friends when we sat next to each other on a 6 hour bus ride to the Everglades in ninth grade. (I call it providence.)

Our friendship involves eating a lot of cupcakes + pasta (in that order usually), going to cool places together (the everglades, new york city, OBT), going to the same places and missing each other by ONE DAY (chicago, africa), reading great books together (mostly c.s. lewis + harry potter), trying new things, drinking lots of coffee (she, black; me, cream + sugar), and laughing a good bit.

This year, we're graduating.

She challenges me. encourages me. inspires me.

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which add value to survival." {c.s. lewis.}

So everyone, say hello to Jess!
