So tomorrow is graduation, and it means a few things for me.
1) It signifies my own personal graduation to seniority, and therefore, being awesome. I honestly think that being a senior is one of the greatest titles one can possess in high school. It's like the "get out of jail free" card. When I feel like my life sucks, I can stop what I'm doing, take a deep breath, and say to myself "I am a senior", and that makes everything better.
When school seems to stressful, I get to say "I am a senior", and i will be fine.
And when I look at all the people around me, I get to say "I am a senior", and know that I'm older than nearly all of them
This is one of the few things in my life that I've looked forward to for a long time.
2) its the first year that people are graduating who i truly care about enough to make me sad.
The people that are graduating are only a year older than me, and therefore close enough in age to myself, that I can actually befriend them. Jessica, one of my best friends is graduating.
My boyfriend is graduating.
My childhood friends are graduating.
And the friends I've made in highschool are graduating.
Its a bit upsetting, but luckily for me, they're mostly going to school in the area, so I'll get to see them.
I don't know. I'll relay my feelings to you after the fact, tomorrow.
