I'm a junior. It just hit me that

<p>In twelve months, I graduate from high school</p>

<p>Meaning</p>

<ul>
<li>No more circle of us three in Spanish class</li>
<li>No more pranks on the teacher in bad</li>
<li>No more field trips with the people I grew up with</li>
<li>No more enjoying mom's cooking seven days a week</li>
<li>No more rehearsals in marching band/concert band</li>
<li>No more high school music competitions</li>
<li>No more crying about our teachers with my high school peers</li>
<li>No more Friday night HS football games</li>
<li>No more doing random ---- with my best friends </li>
<li>No more [insert everything Billy Corgan implies in 1979]</li>
</ul>

<p>Damn.</p>

<p>But think about all the new things you’ll have instead!!</p>

<p>change is good! you’ll develop a new routine when you go into college. =) then when you’re about to grad. from college it’ll be the same ahah. plus you can always visit during holidays!!</p>

<p>I’m excited to graduate from high school and meet new people with whom I will create and enjoy all new kinds of traditions, activities, and memories. Thanks to Facebook, cell phones, web cameras, and email, I will still keep in touch with my best friends. Heck, my mom still has her same best friend from high school five kids, a husband, four years of college later. :slight_smile:
I’m afraid for college, yes, but I felt the same way when I moved after elementary school and a lot of my close friends went to a different high school than me. Embrace it!!!</p>

<p>Yeah. Just wait until the end of your senior year. It gets worse.</p>

<p>I am nostalgic yet excited!!! High school is great and my school is very small so I’m closer to the people I go to school with. My class is composed of 40 students, they truly are my family. What’s worse is I want to move to US when I graduate and I live in Puerto Rico. I know college is a new adventure waiting to happen,but I am afraid.All my friends say they can’t picture me living alone.</p>

<p>@rdpgn105, I know how you feel!!! Before I moved to where I live now, my school was so small that the senior graduating class had eight students!!! I’m excited to be able to go to a college with a “small town” feel. I love feeling that my class is a family.</p>

<p>I know right!!! You create bonds so close that you wouldn’t create otherwise!</p>
