I wish I could go back to college
In college you know who you are
You sit in the quad and you think, oh my god!
I am totally gunna go far!
This song, the one I just the lyrics to (putting lyrics on a livejournal, something I promised I would never do), is actually sort of wrong for the message I am attempting to convey but is neverless appropriate. You see, yesterday was the first day of play practice for high school musical (For once I'm not actually looking forward to a play but lets not worry about that). Mr. O was talking about Suessical, a show I plan to see, and he mentioned how we might do it next year. A spurt of excitement I felt upon hearing this but, and Im getting to my point here I promise, I realized I wasnt going to be there to be in it. Thats pretty depressing. And heres my point, I've loved high school, almost every minute in it. I have learned to appreciate and love people so much in my high school. And now its leaving me, and happily I might add. And when I say my high school I am not only refering to the building, but the teachers and the classmates. All of them are looking forward to the rest of their lives. Sooner or later they're all gunna leave my life. Sure, I could come back another year, but all that would be left will be an empty shell of a building, you cant repeat the past Gatsby, however hard you try. Its never going to be the same again. And its already starting, Sammys going in 3 month's and the truth is Im only beginning to know her. The schools been my safety net, I leave one day and everythings back the next just the way I left it. Maybe its kind of selfish of me, maybe Im just in it for the attention. Sometimes I feel like a little celebrity walking those halls and when I leave I enter the world. The world doesnt say hello the way my friends do. I think I'll miss the teachers the most, such great people, and when Im gone they'll no longer feel abliged to have conversation with me. From Carrick Ill get a feelingless hello, maybe not even that from Saso. And Overton, the adult I hold above all others, he'll forget me; Im not even sure how much he likes me now. I may be going to College, not back to it, but the song really captures the way I feel, in puppet form no less.
... But if I were to go back to college, think what a loser Id be
I'd sit in the quad and Id think, oh my god!
these kids are so much younger than me
