Mere Minutes

3 months and 17 days. That's how long I have until I graduate high school for good.

Never to return.

4 months and 3 days. That's how long I have to wait for Bliss to get here.

5 months and 7 days. That's how long until I leave for college.

Pack up all my belongings and drive an hour and a half. Move in with a stranger...actually three strangers. Not see my mom's face everyday, not hang out with my best friends of 7 years everyday. Eat cafeteria food instead of homecooked health food. Start classes that have more than 100 kids in each one. Live in a room the size of a shoebox. Go to college parties...intimidating college parties. Find my way around a huge college campus.

Yup, just 5 months and 7 days until my life changes forever.

I can't even believe I'm going to be graduating high school forever in matter of mere months.

It's so weird to think about the fact that I've been in the same type of school for the last six years of my life, if you count middle school that is, and in May I will be leaving it behind forever.

I don't think I will particularly miss high school itsself. I don't like having the same classes every day, day after day, having to wake up at 6 A.M. each morning just to sit in run down classrooms and do things I've already done for four years.

I do think I will miss a lot of other things about my life right now. Like going straight to my house after school to hang out and laugh and cook and make blanket forts with my friends. Or talking to my mom at night about my day and her day and life in general. Or that feeling of bubbly happiness that I get when my friends and I start laughing so hard about something that we literally can't stop. Or when Kristi snorts because she's laughing so hard. Or when Renee says the most random thing imaginable and it's so out of the blue that it makes me laugh so hard I almost pee. Or when Mel makes up random ass songs.

Yah there is definetely a long list of things that I'm going to miss when I move out. But hopefully there will be a new list of things that I fall in love with when I'm away at school.
