The Adventures of Us
Next stop graduation.... Then on to the next one!
Passion
(noun) \'pa-shen\
Passion:
strong and barely controllable emotion.
- At the start of this project, we were asked to focus on our "passions" as the main focus of our work
- With graduation quickly approaching, we decided that making memories with our classmates was our first priority before we all had to go our separate ways
- Despite the other passions we do have, we felt that these few precious months before graduation would be best spent focusing on the people that have made our last four years unforgettable

Adventure: an exciting experience; an exciting or extraordinary event
- research has found that people are more happy when they have relationships, are engaged, help others, or join a group
- our followers and us did all of these things
- I think everyone who participated in any of these events can agree that it was fun and we were all a little happier after
- studies show that people function better when happy
Why can't everyday be an adventure?
What's stopping you?
"Change your thoughts, change your world."
Collaboration
Comfort Zone
With senioritis in full effect, it is ridiculously easy to spend hours and hours around the house feeling exhausted and lazy (especially when your house is full of fuzzy blankets, hot pockets and netflix.)
However, believe it or not there is a world outside of binge watching Parks and Rec and taking power naps. A world of adventure, of wonder, of possibility. A world that will teach you living your life is infinitely more fulfilling than watching others live theirs.
- During the last 10 months we have spent in Preston's class, we have experienced a new emphasis on collaboration that we had never experienced before in a school setting
- This new outlook, combined with our settling into "adulthood," gave us the perfect chance to use our new-found freedom to set up trips and adventures we had not previously been able to
- As we learned, working together may not always come easy, but in the end it is completely worth it
