High School is over

I don't feel sad... yet.

Freshman Year- First Football Game

I mean, sure I have that nagging feeling in my stomach and my cheeks have this tingle that lets me know that the moment I listen to a sad song and see all my friends in our graduation gowns I'll burst into tears but until then...I'm good.

I'm happy.

I know so many say that High School was the best years of their lives.
They they did so much and had so much fun and they felt they lived it up then.

I don't feel that way.

These past couple years were the best of my life in a way, sure  but not directly because of school. I grew up these past years, I matured, I learned, I made mistakes and I learned from them. I met people and lost people and every relationship lost and gained taught me something.

Maybe some things didn't work out how I would have liked them to and maybe some worked out better than I could ever imagine.

I can't deny that during these past 4 years I was unbelievably happy and sometimes unbelievably sad.
Things happen and people change but in this case, I feel we've all changed for the better.

It's so scary to look at pictures of my friends, friends I've known since before we all met that awkward hell we call puberty and see how much we've grown. How much older we look.

What will we make of ourselves? Will we call each other when we can and catch up on our lives over coffee? Will we call each other everyday to fill each other in on our lives? Or will we be happy memories somewhere lost in the mix of the past?

I, for one, don't know the answer to that.
It's the beginning of the end in some way.
But it's also the beginning of something so much greater.
Life. Real life.

Sure it will be hard and we will have stresses and worries but I'm confident I am ready to take it on.
