This is the end, people.
At the beginning of the year, I had the biggest itch to run as fast as I could out of this building. Now there are 18 school days left as I write this and…. Nothing’s changed! I am itching real bad.
I will admit one thing. I am definitely getting in my feelings a little more than expected. I have a small selection of really close friends from this school and it is just starting to hit me that I won’t be able to see them whenever I please once I am off to college. I won’t be too far, but far enough where we would have to plan far in advance, and that’s something that i suck at.
I have started to actually take the time to remember all of my memories all the way back from freshman year. The different people I was friends with, my rollercoaster of emotions, being a delinquent and not coming to school- I didn’t win “Worst Case of Senioritis” for nothing! I even skipped a math midterm once because I did not want to take it and that has to be one of my favorite memories, even though it ended up putting me in summer school 🙂 .
If I could give any piece of advice to highschool students and have them actually listen to me, I would say “go out of your comfort zone and never, ever, ever care what people think about you. Stick to what you love and what you’re comfortable with, but most importantly, stay a kid for as long as possible.” I feel as if throughout my high school experience, I have grown up a little too fast and it ruined some of the fun I could be having. You never realize how quick all the responsibilities come at you until you’re already in too deep. I would also tell them to cherish the people that they are currently calling bestfriends because it is really likely you will drift apart in the years to come.
These were all the things that I spent hours dwelling on when I didn’t know that I would be laughing at it a couple years from then. I am thankful for all the ups and downs high school has thrown my way because it has only taught me to do better and make fun of myself while doing it.
Peace Out.
