For anyone who was not aware *cough parker cough* :
It was me who tagged parker's car throughout football season...that is myself and kaitlyn crosby. I know, I did a beautiful job of playing it off..and keeping my mouth shut so he could wonder who it was for a semester and a half.
=)
Anyway, I know everyone is probably getting extremely antsy about this week. After all, you guys only have about 3 or 4 days left. Even I am anticipating walking.
I've learned that high school is no big deal. Everything- every test, fight, quiz, story- seems like the biggest deal while you are living through it. The anticipation of the event may go on for weeks, and the aftermath last for months, but then comes the next "worst thing of your life". I dont know how to explain it...it's almost like we live life thinking that graduation is the end of your life when really its just the beginning. Four years will not kill you, although sometimes it seems like it's going to. But ive learned to just chill because it doesnt matter.
While going through those difficult things (some actually are real problems) I've also learned who my friends are. the real ones as opposed to the fake ones. people who genuinely want to help me, listen to me, and be there for me, rather than use me or slowly end our friendship to start a new one of "higher status." It's all bullshit. I'm happy I learned that a lot sooner than some other people...and some people still think it's real. 90% of high school is fake, and if you're lucky you'll find the other 10% that consists of lifelong friendships and actually learning something that can help you in life.
the sooner you realize there is more to life than high school, the better off you will be. Don't get me wrong, there have been plenty of funny, priceless moments, and i wouldnt change those for anything. It just all comes with the package.
I cant wait to walk across the stage, live out my summer, and start over fresh all the way in MOBILE! (ha ha) I will be traveling during my college career so if anyone wants any visitors just let me know.
I thank my friends...you know who you are. The matrix is awesome.
