<p>How will you feel after you've received your diploma, hugged all your friends, waved to all your acquaintences and classmates, and walked out of the building?</p>
<p>I think I'd feel a mix between euphoria, relief, sadness, nostalgia, pride, and hope. I'd be sad since I'll never see some of my classmates which I've known since 6th grade again.</p>
<p>It will definitely be bittersweet. I’ll miss all of my friends:/ At the same time though, I’ll be excited to go to college:)</p>
<p>It won’t go exactly like that cause right after graduation at my school they will bus us all (over 800) back to the high school and lock us up all night and tell us to party (not kidding, it’s tradition). So after that, I might just be sick of everyone or I might be bittersweet but I will for sure be looking forward to college.</p>
<p>^I hope that’s optional. LOL Sounds like a lot of fun. I’d definately attend.</p>
<p>I think it is but I don’t know who wouldn’t go.</p>
<p>People who’ve been dying to leave high school since the 9th grade, people with no friends, and people with jobs. LOL</p>
<p>This happened a few months ago.</p>
<p>I didn’t really feel any sadness until I started really thinking about it (like now, I’m kinda sad because I’m thinking about it). It just felt like the logical progression in my life. It’s not like I was never going to see the most important people in my life again. </p>
<p>I still remember that night vividly. I hope I won’t forget. It was really awesome. </p>
<p>Leaving for college is MUCH more conflicting. Especially if your parents make a big deal about it. It seemed like a logical progression, again until I start to think about it. Unlike graduation, I cried a bit (I’m a dude) and I’m about to again (but I think I’ll hold it off now).</p>
<p>Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!</p>
<p>Last year the only person I’d gone to school with all my life, since preschool, graduated, so now there are only people I’ve known since I was 4,5, or 6. It’ll be really weird to not have them there. It’s not like we’re close friends but they’re facts in my life and all of the sudden they won’t be.
I’m not worried about keeping friends. There’s only one friend I want to keep, and she’s not going to run off and leave me, nor I her, but there are all these people, whom I’ve always known, who’ve meant something. And it’s all just going to pass away, and in a few years, they won’t matter to me. I’ll probably not even know their names.</p>
<p>I’ll definitely cry. I cry at everything.</p>
<p>It’ll definitely be a mix of everything you mentioned.</p>
<p>It’s weird when you actually start thinking about it. You look at a classmate, and you’re like, wow, I’ve seen this person almost every day for years, and I might not see them again for decades. It’s not really sad, just kind of interesting.</p>
<p>When it comes to closer friends, it’s a little sad near the end of the summer when everyone starts leaving. </p>
<p>Oh, one thing that really weirded me out was going to my old school’s website to check on something only to find that the site had been completely redesigned. It just struck me, all at once, you really can’t ever go back.</p>
<p>…but then you get off the computer and go out with your dormmates, and realize that you’ve gained much, much more than you’ve lost :).</p>
<p>sad and happy.</p>
<p>I’ll be leaving a school where I’ve been with some kids since I was five (minus grades 2 and 6).</p>
<p>But I’ll probably headed off to DC. =D</p>
<p>pretty unaffected. i’ve made many great friends there, most of whom are absurdly wealthy and will help me out in life if I’m ever in a jam, but I have little connection to the school itself. I doubt i’m ever donating money, unless i ever want to come back to speak in which case i might drop 50k or so in the pot.</p>
<p>dancin’ in the moooonlight!!</p>
<p>i’ll for sure be sad and end up crying…cuz i’ve made great friends at this school and have known them since 9th grade but we’ve become really close friends…and my closest friend i’ve only known for 2 1/2 years…but still it’ll be sad
never seeing them again esp when the summer comes to an end… =[</p>
