And then...BAM. Senior year.

I'm going to be one of those Seniors that I rolled my eyes at Freshman year. 

High school goes by so dang fast. One second you're the turtle kid in the hallway (because your backpack is so stinkin' big) and your teachers are handing you syllabus sheets, lined with tips for high school success, and then you blink, and you know what? You're handed sheets telling you to buy your cap and gown, and all your teachers question which college you'll attend. 

It's crazy. And the even crazier thing is that I totally remember seniors telling me this when my high school journey was just beginning. They'd say, "Cherish every moment, because you blink, and it's all over!!" and I'd think, "Am I blinking hard enough? I've been in high school for a month now, and it's currently not whizzing on by...". But I roll my eyes no longer, because here I am, writing this blog. WEIRD. :) 

So, senior year, it came. :)

This is how I felt about being a senior in a picture

Freeman is a proud supporter of High School Musical jumping pictures. ;) 

The first and best thing about getting back to school is VOLLEYBALL. I had the best season with the best girls on my team.

we love playing at the park. 

I love laughing 'till I cry with them. I love eating at Red Robin's and driving as fast as possible (without getting pulled over)  to get to the football games after volleyball tournaments. I even love jump training with them! So many good times. :)

Rip-a-shot tourney CHAMPS! 

Anna Gallagher (the sweetest girl of all time, and my pepper partner) wrote a speech for me for our senior night, and it was the cutest, most heartfelt thing.This picture was taken right after she read it, and I was crying little happy tears, it was so sweet. I am so grateful for her, and for all my team, but this picture is a good representation of volleyball season for me. Looking back on it just makes me happy, even though there were rough patches along the way. I'm grateful for my team, for Eva (my wonderful coach!), and for volleyball, for making me a stronger and a better person. :)

The next best thing about school starting is football. ( Fall sports are the bomb.) 

Football games at Freeman High School are hoppin', and a serious highlight of...school, of fall, of LIFE! 

The gang :)

Jos, Emily, and I would drive together to the away games to cheer on the boys. It was so fun!

So many fun pictures, and so many fun wins, because we ROCK at football. And even that one game where the game wasn't exactly in our favor, (we hate Colville...), the boys were still super dignified and lost strong. I was proud to be a Scottie that night and every night at the football games.

THEN, HOMECOMING. 

So, a few weeks before Homecoming, we had an assembly, basically for sports recaps. At the end of it, a bunch of the football boys did this random, not expected,  in-sync dance routine to "Treasure" by Bruno Mars. It was so funny, and then once it was over, one of the boys grabbed a microphone and he asked his girlfriend to homecoming. And then he passes the microphone to the next guy, and he asks a girl, etc. I was just sitting there thinking "Man, this is so clever and so cute!" and then Sebas (the boy in the picture on the left) gets the microphone, and he says, "Addy Clark, will you go to Homecoming with me?" and everyone freaked out like "Ohh!" and "Yeahhh!", because Sebas was the only one who didn't have a girlfriend out of the group, so no one knew it would be me that he'd ask.(I didn't even know!)  I swear I melted in my seat right there, it was the cutest thing ever. 

Homecoming week was such a blast. That is literally the best week of school. 

Just your average day at Freeman High School. (Hick day) 

POWDERPUFF was SO stinkin' fun. I wore Cole's football jersey. And, had to take a picture with Megs after the game because the Seniors absolutely clobbered the Juniors. (If they liked it, then they should've put a ring on it. We were the champions, my friends.)

"'Cause there 'aint no doubt I love this land...GOD BLESS THE USA."
If you want to see some real patriotism though, come to Freeman, one and all!

80's day.:)


I love 80's workout; I think it is hilarious, and so fun to wear. Megan, Sebastian and I went homecoming thrift shopping the week before homecoming, and I found these cool purple parachute pants. SO FUN.



Creeeeeeepy day.

I wore this big boa-constrictor stuffed animal we've had forever draped over my shoulders for the day, and it was the funniest. I just thought, "If I saw someone walk around with a snake over their shoulders, I would think that's pretty creepy".


I can't even tell you how many "anaconda" jokes I got though. haha :)

 We go to the creek every month for AP Environmental Science, even on spirit day!!
Love these guys.

HOMECOMING FOOTBALL GAME.

This was one of the most magical nights of my life.
I had the privilege of being on Homecoming Court with these sweet girls.

They had us hit a pinata to see who was queen, and the color of the candy would match the sash of the giirl that was queen. Josie crushed that pinata because she's a softball star, and out poured green candy. GREEN CANDY!! I was queen, and  I felt so overwhelmed with love for the people I go to school with.

We rode in jeeps, it was so fun! We stood in the back, with the tops off. 

Me and my princess Josie. :)

Michael Andrews was king. He is the coolest kid you'll ever meet. :)
I will seriously cherish these memories forever. 

 i have so much to be grateful for.

I'll finish senior year in the next post. This whole "recap-a-whole-year-in-a-few-words-and-picures" is a lot harder than I thought.

Coming up:
                  - Halloween
                  - State Volleyball
                  - adventures with my best buds. :)

Until next time,
Addy :)
