Summer love, beach, and friends: nothing cheers your heart or clears your mind like a day with the bestest of friends. From basking in the lovely sun while munching on watermelon and cherries to singing Justin Bieber on the sidewalk in the dead of night, a Sunday on the beach and at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk will always be unforgettable. As I lay on my towel in a tangle of tanning legs and dear friendship, I couldn't help but love how much we've changed in the years we've grown together.As my friend, Andrew, sagaciously said, "Let's make some Kodak memories!" and although he was attempting to be jocular, there was quite a lot of truth to his words.
It's hard to imagine we'll soon be seniors, graduates, alumni. Going off in different directions, leading different lives, and changing the world in so many different ways. But even when we go our separate ways, it'll be hard to forget the class of 2011.
Oh, and don't forget our elderly reunion as retirees at the nearby nursing home!
