Well, tonight it finally really hit me. High school life is ending. I was writing some things that I wanna sign in people's yearbooks tomorrow and I got this weird feeling in my gut that told me it's really over. In many ways, this event is extremely exciting. In many other ways though, it's a bit sad. Our high school lives shaped us into the people we are in some way or another, some more than others. But to quote somebody from somewhere, humans are just the sum of their life experiences. In these past four years we have all grown, changed and become who we are. Our years at OHS and the work we put in at the school are all leading us down the paths of lives we want to take. Whether you want to admit it or not, OHS was a large part of our lives and in determining our futures. I'm at a loss for words and feel like I'm repeating myself here but I don't know. Life as we now know it is changing. Childhood is completely ending and we are going off on our own. (Okay, I'm not going off on my own, but you get me) Maybe its not leaving the school that is the upsetting part, but knowing that we'll be parting with very close friends. The fear of loss and change is very scary. We all know that we need to start living the rest of our lives but we are leaving one stage of our life that formed us. The friends we made, the bonds we made, the connection to the world as we know it made us who we are. I can't help but feel extremely bad for people who couldn't make the same types of friends I made because I'm happy with who I have become and what I want to be, do, and accomplish with my life. I think we need to appreciate OHS for being what it's supposed to be, not only a school but something that brought us all together and guided us to the path in life that's in store for us.
Anyhow, enough with the sentimental crap. :p I want to throw a graduation party this Sat. I was thinking of having ~~15 people. It's supposed to be a nice day so I figured we'd all go swimming and I'd make a BBQ or something while we celebrate our embarkment into the future. I know the future has amazing things in store for my friends. Trust me, I wouldn't be friends with you otherwise. haha
Writing this post made me feel a bit teary-eyed. I feel all emo now. Rofl I promise my next update will be cheery and full of linky goodness.
