This past weekend my parents threw me a going away party! I'm proud to say that I didn't cry one bit. But, it did put everything into perspective...I'M LEAVING IN 2 DAYS! It's crazy how fast these past few months have gone. I feel prepared, anxious, and way too excited! I'm going to miss all my friends and family--especially when really exciting things will be happening and I can't celebrate in person with them. Nonetheless, I'll be on a really exciting journey, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
Here are a few pics
Cheap ideas for any going away party:
1) Ask friends if they have any decorations, costumes, etc.
(my mom borrowed the kimonos from a friend)
2) Don't be afraid to ask a restaurant to donate things
(again, my mom got chopsticks and fortune cookies from Pei Wei at no cost)
3) You don't have to splurge to have a good time
See you all in another country!!
Stay true, stay real.
