Evelyn,

I still can’t believe I was lucky enough to make a friend as great as you at Lawrenceville. You are one of the kindest, funniest, and most thoughtful people I have ever met, and I’m so glad to be able to call you my friend. I’m really sorry for stepping on your toes all those times during Suave, but I hope you know I’m sending nothing but love today. Live it up for the big 18🤝🤝

John

From the first day I met you, you have always been the kindest and most compassionate person I’ve known. We’ve had so much fun together over the last four and it’s been only my pleasure being able to call you a friend. Keep on dancing and being awesome!  You’ll definitely keep doing amazing things in the future, call anytime, I’d love to hear about them. :) And have an awesome birthday! Congrats on being 18!

Happy birthday my love!!! Evelyn to know you is to love you! I can say with a million percent confidence that every person you meet and interact with is absolutely inspired by your kindness, humor, and the grace you carry yourself with. You always stand for what is right and defend your morals, but in a way that uplifts others to do just the same. The talent you have in your body is INSANE, but what’s just as crazy is how humble and classy you remain even after being able to do the wild things you do. Getting closer this year has been such a blessing in my life and I am just so grateful that we are going to college in the same city. Btw, sorry in advance for randomly showing up on your doorstep next year. I know you are going to do even greater things this year and I’m so excited to see you shine. I love you so much Evelyn ❤️❤️❤️ Xoxo, Mamas/PouPou/Syd

EVILyn,

Happy Birthday!! From freshman humanities to now, you’ve been one of my closest friends, and made me all the better because of it. You are incredibly positive, hard-working, goofy, hilarious, and so much more, and it’s brought me, and continues to bring me so much joy. You deserve so much in everything that comes your way, and don’t ever forget that - you’re destined for greatness. Stay in touch, keep shoulder shaking, and see you soon.

Evelyn, there are few people in this world who approach life as optimistically, wholeheartedly, and kindly as you do. I live life with you in mind, constantly trying to embody the raw kindness that you convey to everyone and praying I can some day match you ability to curate positive energy in a space. From your lobster costume to the slip n slide, your confidence and dedication to bringing smiles have always impressed me. To know you is to love you, to be blessed, and to be grateful to have such a role model in one’s life. Without doubt I’ve become a better person by knowing you, and I will visit you in New York (with all the nipple pierced weirdos) as frequently as I possibly can because I am dead set on spending as much time in your presence as possible—I’m positive I’ll benefit from it. Oh the many many hugs you deserve you Angel (and I mean that word in the most literal sense possible). Hope u have a day as wonderful as you are remarkable and beautiful inside and out. ❤️❤️❤️

Eighteen years on this planet is quite a feat, especially when you have lived eighteen years spreading positivity, love and joy. Your confidence, empathetic nature and kindness truly makes you a one of a kind. And of course your loyalty and compassion are unmatched too. I am so grateful that I have you in my life and, despite my annoying basketball rants, you continue to have me in yours. From going on walks around campus to watching your sister’s basketball games, the last four years with you have been nothing but fun. Thank you for all the laughs on the good days and all the hugs on the not so good days. Thank you for always being there through in through, and no amount of words would be able to describe how much that means to me. And most importantly, thank you for being the awesome person that you are! You are destined to do so many great things and I promise I will always be there on the sidelines cheering you on. Congratulations on making it to the big one eight, and I hope you enjoy your special day!

Love, Miles

And...... Let’s go Bucks!💚🦌

Evelyn, I don’t know where to start. I’m getting emotional thinking about the journey we’ve had together. You were my very first friend at lawrenceville. You became my best friend in a matter of days. I don’t know why you put up with me and why you showed me all of your love from the very first day I met you, but I am so unbelievably grateful for everything you have ever done for me. You showed me what the realest friend is and you showed me the kind of person I want to be: a kind, funny, caring, loving, passionate, strong, amazing person like you. Our time together is one I will never ever forget; you have made such a lasting impact on me. I want to remember your Bermuda pants, our dances, your hugs, our jokes, your smile, your hair of course, and everything else about you and our relationship forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your friendship. It is the greatest gift I could ever receive. I love you Evelyn, happy 18th birthday.

All my love today and for the rest of our lives,
Abby

Congrats on finally being able to drink legally in most countries now!!! From Taylor Simpson catching us in 4K shlumped in the Cleve common room to having to tell Miles that Cinco de Mayo is not on the 8th, thanks for being a great friend and someone who can always brighten up my day. It’s been crazy to think how much we have gone through together in three years and I wouldn’t have traded it for anything else. Have a great time at Marymount and we’ll catch up for sure in the city soon. Keep movin, keep grovin, and again, have a great birthday ❤️

Yktv,
Lau

Hey you! Happy 18th my babushka :)) I hope you’re having an amazing time right now dancing, and that you’re liking the people and place ❤️ I see you popping off everyday on your Snapchat story, practicing those arabesques and eleves, and I’m rooting for you every step of the way. Wow!!! Can’t believe you’re 18. I admire you everyday for how much you put into what you love to do and into the people whom you love, and you inspire me every single day to devote more into my passions, to give a little more to others, and to invest time in those around me. I still remember when you came up to me after bball winter Frosh year and said with such a straight face, which you don’t see often, “I’m never doing basketball again.” Hahahaha. Thank you for being a never ending burst of positive and loving energy. Your love, care, and belief in others always shine through, and Idk what these past 4 fricking amazing years of my life would’ve been like without having a partner in crime every step of the way. Btw, sorry for bitching so much so often hahaha. Those Thursday dance classes waiting for Miss Kristin to show up will be missed. So I guess today is another chance for me to say thank you. Thank you for being undeniably you ALWAYS, for laughing, smiling, joking, loving, and caring. Thank you for listening to me and chatting with me in That turquoise colored room that I love in Bayhead. Thank you for being such a joker and beating us all nonchalantly in spike ball and yes, I should’ve known you’re a budding tennis prodigy too. Cuz what isn’t Evelyn good at? Thank you for being just someone to love and to talk to and to smile with. You bring so much sunshine and love into our lives, and we love you everyday the same, if not more. ❤️ have so much fun my love, I will see you soon :)))

❤️💜💙💗,

Izzy :)

Evelyn,
I don't even know where to begin. From the moment I met you freshman year, I thought you were so cool. And I have to say that since then, you have absolutely SURPASSED my expectations. Everyone who knows you can agree that you are one of the most hardworking, kind, and selfless people around. You care so much about others and always put others before yourself. You have always been my biggest supporter, whether it's going to my orchestra concerts or Midday music performances. I always get all warm and fuzzy when I look out into the audience and I see your smiling face :) You light up any room you go into, and only you could work the lobster costume or the #trashbag pants LOL. Those late-night facetimes or those times we "studied" in GCAD but ended up just talking about random stuff? We better keep it up in college. I'm so lucky to call you my best friend Evelyn. You get me like no one else does, and you are the first person I want to call to celebrate good news or mope about my bad day. You deserve everything and more, today and every day. I hope you know how much we love you, since you are such an incredible human being, inside and out. Thank you for everything. I <3 YOU!!!!

All my love,
Jackie
