Roll the Credits...

High School is officially over for me. It's weird. It's actually happening but it doesn't feel like it quite yet. 

Some might consider high school the best years of their life. Many don't want to say good bye, probably because they don't want to leave their comfort zone. I felt this way, or at least I thought I would... Who wants to leave their life-long buds? Who wants to go to an unknown place where the only person you know (or think you do) is yourself? Live alone? Do my own laundry? Home-sickness?!! But actually living this transition period I have come to realize one thing... I have not lived. 

No, I didn't mean that as in "I wanna kill myself", but seriously I haven't got the notion of what its like to LIVE: to be independent, to be whoever you want to be, to meet people you want to meet, to do what you want to do, to wear what you want to wear, to make your own decisions. To stop learning from textbooks, and start learning through experience. 

Graduation is not the end, its most definitely the beginning. School has served us as a little playhouse where we develop our thought on what we think is right and what we think is wrong, what values we care about, how we should behave, and of course useless war dates and math equations. I'm not sure if I'm getting my point across clearly... let me try simplify this. Think of life as a board game... the START square is school. It's this start area that lets you decide what direction to go in. 

So, to all seniors out there who are about to graduate and might be seeing this as the end of the world: IT ISN'T, the end of the world is in December 21st, 2012. Yep... No but for real, let's take this as a happy thing not something to be sad about and cry... everyone has to go through it and after all they say the friends you make in high school are the best, and the friends you make in college are the longest. (Not that way, you sicko... the friendships that last longest). Yet you can't compare an ever-lasting college friendship to a Pre-K-12 friendship. 

I'm way too lazy to read everything I just wrote... so I'm just gonna hit publish. Last comment: its saying good bye (emphasis on the "GOOD").
