  • truth or dare/spin the bottle
  • being able to squeeze in reading times between classes
  • lockers
  • that feeling when it feels as though you "own" a lunch area/table
  • our SPA classes

  • schedules & routines

  • soft toys & pillows in class

  • just talking about everything and anything. the silences in between. how we just know each other somehow.
