graduation
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So while lying in the tanning bed today (haha) my mind started wandering to thinking about graduation. it hadn't really hit me before, but i realized that in a little over a week i'll be completely done with school. i realized this is the only thing i've known for 12 years of my life, and it's all about to change right before my eyes. i realize on a day to day basis, we all take things for granted. the little things, that seem so trivial now, we may never get to experience again. in the words of a very wise teacher, mr. fouhy, few of us really sit back and live each moment. we don't know what we have until it's gone. we don't stop to appreciate the little things. we don't realize this until it's too late. this year has been amazing. in fact, the past 12 years of my life have been amazing. i have had so many ups and downs, many amazing friendships, experiences, life changing events, ect...and i wouldn't trade one of them for anything. this year i feel like i have really found my place. school is a setting where i feel comfortable and at home, due to being involved in drama/being in shows. the drama club in general i feel like is my extended family, and i am so grateful for each and every one of them. i've gotten to work so many amazing individuals the past four years, and it kills me that i have to leave them all very soon. i see now that i'll only get to walk into 'fouhy's room' a few more times, like i do everyday, and say "hey" to all my friends that i've become so close with and love so much. i won't get to see a lot of the people i care about most on a daily basis. i'll never do a show with AAG again, never have another opening night, closing night...i'll never stand in the wings of the PAC stage, and feel that rush of indescribable excitement right before i step out onstage. i'll never take another bow on that beautiful stage again, i'll never go to rehearsal again...there's just so many little things i've taken for granted. i'm realizing now how much i'm going to miss everything. as i sit here leafing through my yearbook, and reading some of the messagings some of my best friends have written me so far, i find myself literally in tears because i know soon my life will never be the same again, nor will i live the same way again. to all of who are graduating this year, make the most of what little time we have left. you dont have any idea how much you'll miss it when it's gone. to those of you who still have time left, i'm begging you...live each the moment. live life. appreciate your friends. don't get caught up in stupid, unimportant things that don't matter. stop and tell someone you love them. make the most of every single experience. don't waste it. you don't know what you have until it's gone. so, here i am, ready to graduate and have my life do a complete 360 degree turn. it's scary, but i'm ready to move on to bigger and better things. thanks to everyone to helped make these past 12 years the best ever. i'll never forget all the good times. and i'll never forget any of you. i wouldn't trade any of it for anything. congratulations class of 2005, we made it.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
