“Everything is gonna be alright” It's funny how things always seem to workout, i guess it's just the way things were meant to be. About 2 years ago when I was a freshman in highschool I attended a boarding school.

The thing in which saved me from spending the week on my bleak and dreary campus was my mom's best
