Last Day Of High School

As you enter high school, you always wonder what the last day of high school is going to be like.  But four years later, countless of homework assignments, late night study sessions, good memories, and a few best friends, you realize that high school has come and gone.  

It was such a bittersweet experience as I had to face the reality that I was leaving the comfort of high school. Don't get me wrong, I am excited that I am graduating but I couldn't help but look at everything, and I mean everything in a new perspective.  I realized that I wouldn't be using the same bathrooms anymore, or sleeping on the theatre classroom floor in between shows, or even sitting at the same lunch table.  I know it's a strange thought but I guess it's the little things that make you realize that you are growing up.

As I sat with a couple of friends at Starbucks, we read all the notes that our friends wrote in our yearbooks and guess what?  We were crying.  It was simple as that.  Let's be honest for a minute and agree that we probably looked pretty strange sitting in front of a Starbucks at 2 P.M. crying.  But that's okay because we were graduating and I think that's a pretty good excuse.

So here it is, the last day of high school and what do I feel?  I feel a little sad for wanting high school to end so quickly.  I'm going to miss the people, the atmosphere, and most of all, I'm going to miss all the good times that I had.  I owe a debt of gratitude to my best friends for making my senior year irreplaceable.

Congratulations, we made it Class of 2014.
