Without IB

Before school ended this year, I made the decision to drop a few of my IB classes (actually, just English, maybe Biology) and honestly, I'm very glad I made the decision to do so.

But, on the other hand. I'm not really sure who I am without IB. Most of my very close friends are in the IB Programme, and I'm really going to miss having every single class with them. I started my freshman year as an IB kid, and that's all I've ever been in high school. I guess I could still call myself an IB kid, but it just doesn't feel right because I'm not suffering through all the classes like everyone else. 

This got me thinking... Now that I'm joining marching band, will it change who I am to other people? Because now, I'm not that tall, blonde girl in IB, but I'm that tall blonde girl who plays vibes. Does this affect the way people see me? Or are they still going to look at me the same way?

Not like I really care how other people view me, but it does matter a little bit in the long run. I guess I've just been questioning my identity lately. Who I am to other people, who I will be in the future. Hell, I don't even know who I used to be. To myself, I'm just Caitlyn. And I guess that's all that matters!
