I can finally say "oh yeah, I went to high school with that guy."

What the hell is going on?

All of my friends have left for college. I am leaving next week. This is a time in my life that I never thought would come. I have waited for so long for this, and now that it is here, I can't even believe it. There are so many people in my life and in this town that I will never see again in my life. That is a good thing for most of those people, but that isn't true for some.

How am I old enough to go to college? I feel like I was just in 3rd grade, and now I am almost done with school? It is strange seeing these people I have seen grow from age four to age eighteen. How is it time for this? How am I moving out of my house? I have always been the baby. I am the youngest person in my immediate and my entire extended family on both sides. This is the end of an era. It just doesn't make sense. I have never been old enough for what ever my brother can do. I have always gotten second hand experience from him and my parents. All of these 18 years I have had that to listen to for any big change. But now I am going miles away into unknown territory, and I couldn't be happier about it. I just don't understand how now is the time.

As I am left alone in Greensboro, it really makes me think about all that is happening, and I really can't believe it.

To all of those who have left, good luck. I hope we meet again, and for some, I wish we never had.

Isn't it ironic that as soon as I am leaving Greensboro, I start to enjoy it? Don't cha think?
