<p>Okay, well, graduation is tomorrow, and the seniors got out of school on Tuesday. I'm getting kind of sad because it has become very clear today that the seniors are actually gone. Read: many of my friends are actually gone. Tomorrow, after graduation, I will be a senior de facto. I am so very ready to graduate, go to college, lalala, but I have to do it without so many of the people I love. Ugh. I've heard that the end of junior year is harder on people than the end of senior, and I can really understand that.</p>
<p>You know...I kind of understand. I have 3 really good friends who are juniors...and I will be leaving them. So no more lunches together or hanging out between classes. It really is sad. I know one of my friends gets really emotional thinking about it.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm the emotional type. I started thinking about all the conversations and rook games i've had with these people, and get teary-eyed. i'll be blubbering during graduation, but i just can't stay home. it also doesn't help that 4 of my classes were predominately seniors, and now there's just a handful of us feeling abandoned. :(</p>
<p>This year's not too bad. I was way closer to the class of 2005 than I am to the class of 2006.</p>
<p>I understand. I didn't have any classes with my junior friends...we just met outside of class. Also, my friends and I will not be in the same area. Some of us will be heading to different areas while the rest become seniors. Eveybody is going their separate ways. Still...they are all really good friends of mine and I want to keep in contact with them after leaving HS.</p>
<p>i had two close friends in 05.</p>
<p>You can still come to college confidential ;)</p>
<p>I kind of had contact with '05...but they were just peers to me.</p>
<p>I miss my ski buddies, and other '05ers...</p>
<p>is it true that, during senior year, prople get a lot closer to those in their class?</p>
<p>Martha:</p>
<p>For me no...there are people I have known for 6 years and we have only said 3 sentences to each other even though we had classes together those six years. I got the feeling of "false" sentimentality during this last year. I don't like superficial friendships...and I wouldn't form one with somebody in the last year of HS just because we are all leaving. I am not sure how to explain it....</p>
<p>I am not trying to sound mean...it's just that friendship with me takes a while.</p>
<p>Some peeps tried to act all "buddy buddy", but they didn't know anything about me really....to me it was like what was the point.</p>
<p>yeah, i understand--kinda like if someone came and hugged you and said how much they would miss you and you haven't spoken 5 words to them.</p>
<p>Exactly...</p>
<p>a senior girl did that to me on tuesday. 'twas wierd.</p>
<p>I would say people get "close"...but I seriously question their sincerity...</p>
<p>Random people hugging you...another example.</p>
<p>I have two close friends this year. I am seriously gonna miss them like crazy. I wasn't too close to the seniors of '05...though I had a HUGE crush on one of them...</p>
<p>But, yeah I hate the feeling of "false" sentimentality too.</p>
<p>I am a little sad now...</p>
<p>It is late and I must head off to bed. Night everyone!</p>
<p>good night</p>
