Party like it's my last night in Minneapolis

My going away party was last Saturday. It was a complete "sausage party," as they say, so let's hope there are some cool girls worth befriending in DC to even things out the next time I do this.
I also got my hair cut and a new dress. Six new dresses, actually, but I only wore one at the party because this wasn't My Super Sweet 16 or anything. Just moving to DC from Minneapolis, that's all, nothing big like turning 16.
