Oh,
I am unreasonably emotional at the moment, and I think if I make this too long, I'm going to embarrass myself. So I'll keep it short.
Tomorrow is the last day, and although it is stupid, I'm suddenly unsure if I want to leave.
When I started freshman and sophomore year, I literally had no friends. I didn't talk to people. The other day, I randomly started a conversation with a complete stranger only because I was bored.
Hell, they told us countless times. So why didn't I realize I was growing up?

Yeah... I do that all the time
You so want to leave someplace, and you just need to get out. Then, when the time comes, THAT'S when you start getting nostalgic... Believe me, it's happened before.
Just take that growth, and run with it. Don't dwell in the past. High School is now gone. Just keep going, and, insensitive as it seems, you will survive, and move on, and eventually forget about it, in your quest for higher learning.
No one escapes from life alive
I second
what Chad said. Tomorrow's my last day of high school too, so I get what you mean. But you want to look back and be nostalgic, not be stuck in regret and the past. So get packing, be happy, have fun, and good luck. =)
*hug*
Hmm...
Paragraph three seems like it could easily be misinterpreted. My point was, freshman year, I wouldn't dream of approaching a stranger. I didn't even think about it the other day. I had a group of friends to fall back on, so it didn't matter.
I've just grown to be so much more outgoing than I ever thought I could, and I have my friends to thank for that.
hey dave i was sort of in
hey dave i was sort of in your position too
if anyone had ever cared to read my entries like three or four years ago i wasn't very outgoing at all either. it's gud to know u've made such a nice change too :)
and i was actually in your position half a year ago (new zealand graduates in december). i thought about the same things i had so unbelievably much going for me in high school.
but now im at university and i don't regret a thing. in fact you just get to meet more people, join more groups and you feel so much more... independent. like not the sort of indepedence in high school where you can be emotionally independent... but even the better kind when you're at uni everyone's pretty much an adult and everyone behaves more like adults. the respected and autonomous sort of independence...
and you can glare at the kids in uniform :)
double post!
yup
