I come from swimming in the lake with my friends, our laughter barely heard over the cold splashes of the lake as we jump in I come from playing pickleball for our options in the summer heat I come from hiking, mount pinnacle versus my summer sisters I am from watching Mean Girls on the last night of camp, 10 girls on one twin-sized mattress I am from “Ribs” by Lorde, played as I hug my best friends goodbye I won’t say hello again for another year I am from the music played as we get ready for dinner, blow dryers on full blast, yet the music is still louder I come from Camp Blue Star, my home away from home 34
