Last Day!

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>So, today was my last day of high school. I still have to go back for several special things, but no more classes or full days or anything. It really snuck up on me, and I surprised myself by being a little sad. I've never been too close to most people at my school, we just don't have much in common--but I will miss my friends. I've had some really wonderful teachers that I will probably stay in touch with, but it won't be the same. I just can't get over the fact that I won't be back next year, and I won't see these people every day...some of them ever again. </p>

<p>BUT--overall, I'm extremely happy. Finally, no more crappy school lunches, drama, fights, redneck homophobic racist classmates (hopefully...), stupid rules. And, to be honest, there are plenty of people that I am happy to never see again. Not anyone in particular, but just the basic culture and values of a majority of my classmates.</p>

<p>How do you all feel now that you are close to graduating?</p>

<p>I'm from WV too, but our last day isn't til May 25 (Finals are 23 and 24) -- how I envy you! But I feel the same way. I have always stood out like a sore thumb at my school since I moved from Colorado in the 3rd grade (this is a very conservative area, politically, socially, and in regards to how religion affects attitudes). I have made close friends, but they are all going to local state univ., so I doubt I'll keep in touch. I'm a little apprehensive about going away to college, but also excited.</p>

<p>Wow. I don't really know how I should be feeling- happy? sad? relieved?</p>

<p>I'll miss the people- my teachers and friends, but I'm definitely ready to move on. High school has been a growing experience for me, socially and intellectually, and I'm glad to learn so much from my peers and teachers. My LAST day of school will be May 24, with graduation on May 25.</p>

<p>Three of my friends will go to the same university that I will attend, so I won't be cut off entirely from my roots. Overally, I'm very excited to graduate, and I'm looking forward to college!</p>
