We're going to go all the way back to 2008. Both of us attended the same elementary school. Alex knew of Tristan as the big scary 3rd grader at P.E. Tristan didn't know Alex. Fast-forward to 2018 when the two of us met each other for the second time in the Milton High School Mighty Black and Gold Marching Band. We would talk every day between Alex's 5th period band class and Tristan's 6th period band class (since our lockers were right next to each other. Tristan also does not remember this). The story seems like it should end there, but no. Tristan left at the end of that year to go to college in Mississippi, and Alex stayed at Milton to finish out his senior year. After dipping out of Mississippi early, Tristan went to Pensacola State College to find out what she wanted to do. There, she found a love of programming and decided to go to the University of West Florida to study Computer Science. Meanwhile, Alex took a gap year after COVID-19 screws up his senior year and his scholarship. In just the second semester, we met again in our calculus and intermediate programming courses in the spring of 2022. We've been inseparable ever since (after a lot of hard work by Tristan).
