"It's been real, and it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun"

Looking back on all my blog posts, most of them had something to do with what was happening that week. It freaks me out how fast this year has gone by. I thought I was going to be stuck in high school forever, and now there's only two REAL weeks left of school before exams. I literally cannot even begin to believe that high school is almost over. High school has taught me everything I know. I thought I knew a lot coming in, but I was wrong. The friends you start high school with probably won't be the same ones you leave with, and the ones you leave with probably won't be the ones you enter college with. Family is important; you may think they're annoying now, but when the countdown begins for college, you'll realize that they won't be there for you next year. A lot of things that you've always depended on them for will have to be taken into your responsibility. You'll do things you swore to yourself you'll never do. Things that will disappoint people, and things that will make people look up to you. But the most important thing I've learned, is that you will change. Your hair will change, your clothes will change, your body may change, but your WAYS will change. You'll find yourself doing different things then you would normally. You might start seeing someone else's view on things and change yours completely.

I'm nervous for college, but I know good things will come while I'm there. Once again, things will be changing. I expected high school to be the prime of my life, and obviously since I'm still in it, it has been. But along with those really amazing memories, come the heart wrenching, terrible memories. These memories will be with you forever, and the only thing you can do is make new ones and block them out. That's what I'm using college as. I'm going to remember all the good memories: dubnation, winning prom queen, graduation, blink concert, so many get togethers, but I'm going to overlap over the bad ones.

High school: it's been real, and it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun. The real fun awaits.

  1. It really is crazy how fast this year has gone by. I feel like i was just a month ago when we sat down in home room and everyone was like dude we are seniors!! While the excitment is still there it is also very sad. I can't believe I will be leaving so many people behind especially you since we have been friends since we were tiny. I really do wish everyone good luck in their next step whether that be college or work.

  2. We have to face it, everything eventually ends. As much as I've looked forward to college, I've always disliked endings. Last day of summer, the final chapter of a great book, parting ways with a close friend. But endings are inevitable, with leaves fall, closing a book, or say goodbye. Graduation is one of those days for us. We say goodbye to everything that was familiar, everything that was comfortable. We're moving on. But just because we're leaving, there's some people who are so much a part of us, they'll be with us no matter what. They will be with us, always.
