• breanne and jon's leaving and the drunken speeches i gave about how much i love them
  • itis and other pool slang
  • kameela saying "that's gross"
  • the way ben and i talk to each other in public
  • alex asking me about what his food costs will look like during the year
  • creating a table of nicknames for the year: smythe 2015, "wanna buddy-guard with me?"
  • going over to ben's on lunch break to make out lazily for half an hour

  • euchreing ben and kameela with alex
  • falling asleep at netflix, bbq, and chill night with my head on ben's lap and my feet on momo's lap
  • swimming laps at lunch. always swimming. 200m IMs. 600m warm-ups, jumping off the lifeguard chair. trying to flip into the pool like noah does. picking hairballs off the bottom of the pool. eggbeater laps. the entire pool to myself. all of it.
  • the way it feels to love a place and the people there
  • planning a korean barbecue night for winter break with alex
  • alex saying that i was his best euchre partner (and me replying that he's my favourite)
  • pushing adrienne in the pool, convincing elijah to push alex in the pool and having them both go in, being pushed in by ben and noah
  • saying goodbye to each other and to the pool rats and to the pool and to the beauty of the summer and the love in the air
  • "im just a piece of the puzzle" - andre
