The Final Countdown

This is officially the last day of my high school career. In less than two hours I will be released into the world as a high school graduate, supposedly ready to take on anything.

But right now I'm just thinking back on everything I have done within the confines of these walls over the last 4 years. I have laughed, cried, been pissed off, annoyed, sentimental, happy, and downright bored in this building more than any other place, with the exception of my own home. How am I supposed to be able to handle this? How am I supposed to be able to easily say 'peace out' to every person I've taken so long to get to know. My whole life has been spent in a building with these people eight hours of the day, being empathetic, apathetic, and straight up pathetic together.

I relate to everyone here. I know them. I can talk to them.

I'm scared to leave all the people I know and love for a whole new batch that I have to endure small talk and uncomfortable silences with.

I'm scared I will never find anyone I'm as close to as I am to these people. I am just downright scared for this chapter of my life to come to a close.

I have loved these years. They were the best of my life.
