"Elizabeth"

Elizabeth Daskalakis stands laughing in her natural habitat

This is Liz. If you ever hear nervous hyperventilation in the hallways, it's Liz. If you ever see a girl laughing "OMG THAT'S SO RATCH" extremely loudly, that's Liz. If you're ever reading the paper and all you see is tons of High School Musical references and "Troy Bolton is presh"'s, that's Liz.

Safe to say, she's the cutest, "most loved" girl I've ever met. I’ve known her for about three years now, and I can easily say she’s unlike anyone else I know. She stresses out about little things and always second-guesses herself. Her obsession for Chipotle is actually real, and she cries to the Peter Pan intro song. She doesn’t flip you off with her middle finger, no that’s too hurtful; she waves her pinky at you instead.

I think my favorite thing about Liz is her simplicity. Her honesty make her beautiful because, whatever she says, she means it. When you meet her, she might be shy and quiet, but once you get to know her, she’s never afraid to be her “ratch yolo” self with you. She’s also the most selfless person I know; she’s willing to give up what’s important to her, for the happiness of others. She loves to make other people happy, and she’s one of the best friends I have. I love working with her because she brightens my day, every day. I can vent to her about all my problems, and she’s always willing to give me advice and just listen to me complain. So I made this post to give Liz a shoutout not only because she’s an amazing friend, but because she’s a beautiful, hardworking, intelligent, and selfless person. Thanks for always being there for me. :)
