"To Whom It May Concern:

It has come to my immediate attention that our high school graduation is looming around the corner, and before we know it, we will be off frolicking in our respective universities.

I vaguely recall Daniel Christopher "F1v3 j1V3" Liem sending a SMS text message to our GroupMe text blaster last night that brought up a good point- according to the Google Calendar, there is not one day in the entire summer when all of us are home in Arcadia. We are either at university orientations, or traveling with our friends, or getting jet-lagged in Asia. While these are all justifiable ventures, it is quite a saddening fact that the world we enjoy today will soon be gone.

So I have a few issues we must formally address. They are delineated below:

Firstly, we must update the group calendar to include winter and spring breaks. Monopoly and scrabble parties when we return home from our respective universities is a must-have. I implore you all to visit your university registrar website and search for your academic calendar so we can accurately and efficiently plan for such reunion-type events. It is of vital importance that we maintain our close friendship for the rest of our lives, and reunions are the first step on this journey to lifelong friendship.

Secondly, you are all cordially invited to the Chao residence tomorrow, Thursday, the ninth of June in the year of our Lord two thousand and eleven. We will play Scrabble, Monopoly, and also sign each others' yearbooks if we haven't already. Refreshments must be brought, and will not be provided. We will laugh, cry, and gamble the shit out of property (or make stupid fucking decisions like trading North Carolina Avenue and B&O Railroad for fucking VERMONT. Who does that?

Thirdly, this Saturday following Grad Night, the eleventh of June in the year of our Lord two thousand and eleven, will be the last day we will all be in Arcadia together as one cohesive family of friends. I suggest we come together one final time that evening and commemorate our friendship, the memories we have made, and the rest of our lives. The distance that separates us only represents the longevity and vitality that defines the friendships we have made.

Thank you for everything, and here's to the rest of our lives!"
